Short links are useful because they are compact. Branded short links are useful because they are compact and recognizable.
A custom domain lets your links look like they belong to your brand instead of a generic shortener. With Qorlivo, that means you can create short links, track clicks, and keep the domain connected to your dashboard.
What is a custom domain short link?
A custom domain short link uses a domain you control as the visible link.
Instead of:
qrlvo.co/launch
you might use:
go.yourbrand.com/launch
The destination can still be any valid URL, but the public link carries your domain.
Why custom domains help clicks
People are more likely to trust a link when the domain is familiar. A branded short link can help when you are sharing in:
- email campaigns
- social bios
- video descriptions
- paid ads
- QR codes
- client updates
- community posts
The short link becomes part of your brand system, not a random utility link.
Pick the right domain pattern
Most teams use a subdomain for short links. Common patterns include:
go.example.com
links.example.com
share.example.com
to.example.com
Using a subdomain keeps your main website separate and makes DNS easier to manage.
Connect the domain in Qorlivo
The usual flow looks like this:
- Add the custom domain in your Qorlivo dashboard.
- Copy the DNS record Qorlivo gives you.
- Add that record at your domain provider.
- Wait for DNS to update.
- Confirm the domain is verified.
- Start creating branded short links.
Qorlivo handles the link management and analytics after the domain is connected. Learn more on the custom domain links page.
Keep analytics attached
The best part of branded links is that they do not need to sacrifice measurement. Your custom-domain links should still show:
- total clicks
- unique visitors
- referrers
- countries
- devices
- browsers
Qorlivo keeps link analytics connected to custom domains, so you can see how branded links perform.
When should you upgrade from the default short domain?
Use the default short domain when you are testing.
Move to a custom domain when:
- the link represents your brand
- you share the link repeatedly
- the link appears in paid or public campaigns
- trust matters
- you want one consistent domain across channels
If you are ready for branded links, start with Qorlivo custom domains.
