What link tracking does

  • UTM tags, added for you

    Tag the links in each post so your website analytics knows which network and campaign sent the visit.

  • Short tracked links

    Links in your posts are replaced with short links that count each click before sending people on.

  • Clicks and unique visitors

    See total clicks and unique visitors per post, without storing anything that identifies the person.

  • Bots left out

    Link-preview crawlers are recognised and never counted, so a preview card doesn’t read as a visit.

  • In your analytics and reports

    Click counts sit next to the network’s own figures in analytics and reports.

  • Included from Plus

    Click tracking is part of Plus, Pro and Max.

How to track clicks from your posts

  1. Set your tags

    In the UTM settings, set the tags you want added to your links, so your website analytics knows where each visit came from.

  2. Add links as usual

    Paste links into your post. With Automatic UTM tagging and First-party click tracking switched on, they’re tagged and shortened when the post is saved.

  3. Publish

    The short link goes out with the post, and its preview card still shows.

  4. Read the clicks

    Clicks and unique visitors appear next to the post’s other figures in analytics and reports.

Three things link tracking can tell you

  • Which network sends visits

    Compare clicks from the same link posted to Facebook, LinkedIn and Threads.

  • Which offer works

    Post two versions of an offer a week apart and see which one people clicked.

  • Whether a campaign paid off

    Add up the clicks across a campaign’s posts in a report for your client or manager.

Good to know

  • Click tracking is part of Plus, Pro and Max.
  • Link-preview crawlers are never counted as clicks.
  • More than 120 clicks a minute on one link stop being recorded, though the link keeps working, so a burst of automated traffic can’t inflate your numbers.
  • Click data is kept for 400 days, long enough to compare one year with the last.

Questions

When someone taps a tracked link, Smartplannr records the click and sends them straight to your page. Repeat taps from the same browser count once towards unique visitors.

Yes. Link-preview crawlers can follow them, so posts keep their preview, and those crawler visits aren’t counted as clicks.

The referring site and a one-way code that tells a second tap from a second person. Nothing that identifies who they are.
