Most link shorteners offer IP-based Geolocation, which estimates a user's location based on their internet connection (usually accurate to the city or region level). GPS Tracking is a significant step up in precision.

How it works:

• Precision: While IP tracking tells you someone is in "New York," GPS tracking can pinpoint a location within a few meters.

• Consent-Driven: For privacy and legal reasons (like GDPR), GPS tracking is typically an opt-in feature. When a user clicks the link, they may see a browser prompt asking to share their location.

• Real-World Use Cases:

  • Local Events: Seeing exactly which corner of a stadium or convention center people are clicking from.

  • Retail/OOH: Measuring which specific physical billboard or flyer (via QR code) is driving traffic in a city.

  • Targeted Logistics: Ensuring a link was accessed at a specific job site or delivery point.

A branded domain replaces the generic service name (like trimlink.ai/xyz) with your own custom web address (like link.yourbrand.com/summer-sale).

Why use them?

• Increased Trust & CTR: Users are often hesitant to click on "random" strings of characters. Branded links signal that the content is verified and safe. Studies show that branded links can increase click-through rates (CTR) by up to 39%.

• Professionalism: It turns a simple utility into a marketing asset. Whether it s on a business card, a social media bio, or an email signature, a branded link looks polished and intentional.

• Ownership & Reputation: When you use a generic shortener, you share the "reputation" of everyone else using that service. If a spammer uses the same generic domain, your links might get flagged by social media filters. A branded domain keeps your reputation isolated and clean

Great to see a link shortener tackling the bot issue! As someone who runs paid ads, bot clicks often mess up my conversion data. How aggressive is your bot filtering system, and can we see a breakdown of 'Human vs. Bot' traffic in the dashboard for every link?

The AI-powered landing page feature is a unique addition for a link shortener. Are these pages hosted on Trimlink's infrastructure, and is there a limit to how many we can build on the Pro plan? Would love to know if they support custom scripts like Meta Pixels or GA4.

Love the clean UI! I noticed the free plan includes 100 links if I start for free and then upgrade to Pro later, can I retroactively move my existing links to a 'Branded Domain' without the old links breaking?

I see you have a Bulk Import feature and API access. If I'm importing 1,000+ links at once, does the system automatically generate the QR codes and UTM parameters for all of them in one go, or is that a separate step? Also, is the API rate-limited for the Pro plan?

Congrats on the launch! I m really intrigued by the 'AI-powered analytics' piece. Most shorteners just give me raw click counts and locations how specifically does Trimlink s AI help in 'optimizing' the links? Does it suggest better posting times or identify high-value audience segments automatically?
