smartURL

smartURL redirects users to specific destinations based on their country or device. After entering a default URL, users are able to specify to which country and device-specific URLs they want to direct their traffic. smartURL is the most popular type and the one that we recommend using for most campaigns.

Flex

For situations when users need deeper control, Flex smartURLs can be configured with device-specific redirects at the country level. For example, if a user wanted to send Android traffic to Amazon in the US and to Google Play in Canada, Flex smartURL could be configured to handle these conditions.

Pivot

The Pivot smartURL creates a landing page where all users can choose their preferred retailer. This landing page can be customized with links to any retail or streaming providers. Pivot smartURLs automatically hide any retailers that are unavailable in a specific country or device.The customizable landing page features a product image, Spotify audio player, custom branding, and retailers specific to company and country.

Event

The Events smartURL is designed for promoting live events. For users managing a touring campaign, Events smartURLs can be configured to redirect traffic to the right ticketing page based on their location. When there are no available shows nearby, traffic will be sent to a landing page listing all available locations on the tour. Add and update event listings as tour plans change.

Geo-aware

smartURL is designed to help anyone to quickly and easily manage global traffic. A smartURL can be configured to redirect traffic to the most appropriate destination on a country-by-country basis. By moving the "geo-logic" to the link layer, users are freed of technical hassles associated with global traffic management.

Device Aware

Route users to the right destination based on their device type.

Live Redirects

Send every user to the right place based on the device, operating system, and location they are in at that moment.

iTunes and Amazon Auto-expand, Rescans, and Scheduled Rescans

Add an iTunes or Amazon link and smartURL will auto-expand to include the correct link for every country where the product is available. Rescan any iTunes or Amazon link to find new countries where your product has become available. Schedule rescans for smartURL to automatically add new countries to your link at a specified date and time.

iTunes Store Specific

iOS and desktop users are routed to their country-specific iTunes storefront.

In-Link Retargeting

Create retargeting audiences of users who click your smartURLs for use on Facebook, Google AdWords, Twitter and more.

Google Dynamic Retargeting (Enterprise Only)

Google dynamic retargeting allows users to make custom retargeting lists and buckets. For instance, there will be an artist list, so every smartURL for a given artist will go into the bucket. Additional lists can be created for album, song, genre and release phase. When an iTunes link is put in as the default link, all fields will be automatically entered, without any extra work to set it up from the creator.

Google Analytics Tracking

By adding a Google Analytics UA number, all data from the smartURL will flow directly into your Google Analytics account. This allows you to gain all the insights of Google Analytics, based on the traffic of a smartURL, including real time data.

Affiliate Account Integration (Enterprise Only)

Enterprise companies are able to enter affiliate information for iTunes and Google Play. Once this is set up, without needing to append any links, smartURL will automatically put in affiliate tracking upon click.

Ability to Archive Links

Streamline your smartURL dashboard by archiving old and abandoned links.
