Six Ways to Understand Your Audience
All six dimensions are available on every paid plan. Free plans see total and unique counts; paid plans add the breakdowns below.
Clicks and Scans
Total interactions and unique users. Available on every plan including Free, so you can see at a glance which links and QR codes are working without upgrading.
Where Your Clicks Come From
See which countries your audience is in. Useful for figuring out which markets your campaigns reach, where to localize content, or where to focus advertising spend.
Which Channel Drove the Click
See whether each click came from Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, an email client, a Google search, or anywhere else. Stop guessing which marketing channel actually drives results.
Clicks and Scans Over Time
See your link and QR code performance plotted on a timeline. Spot peak engagement hours, track campaign launches, and watch which content has staying power versus which fades quickly.
Device, Browser, and OS
See how many clicks came from desktop versus mobile versus tablet, which browser visitors used, and which operating system. Useful for understanding the technical context of your audience and prioritizing where to invest UX work.
Pull Data via API
Programmatically retrieve URL details, performance data, and top-performing links through the ShortifyMe API. Available on every paid plan, with documentation at shortifyme.co/api-docs. Useful for integrating link performance into your own dashboards, CRM, or workflow tools.
What You Can Do With ShortifyMe Analytics
Find Your Best Marketing Channels
Compare clicks across channels using the referrer breakdown. See whether Instagram, LinkedIn, email, or Google actually drives the most traffic, and shift budget accordingly.
Optimize Campaign Timing
Use the Engagement Over Time report to spot when your audience is most active. Schedule social posts and email sends at the times your data shows the highest engagement.
Identify Top Performers
Use the API to pull your top-performing links by date period. Build internal dashboards, share rankings with your team, or feed performance data into your workflow tools.
Track Offline-to-Online with QR Codes
QR codes on packaging, flyers, and printed materials all show up in the same dashboard as your link clicks. See exactly which physical campaigns drive digital traffic, and which don’t.
Understand Your Audience's Tech
If 70% of your traffic comes from mobile, you need a mobile-optimized landing page. If most of your audience uses Chrome on Android, you can stop testing in Safari first. The device, browser, and OS data helps prioritize where to invest in UX.
Built for Data-Driven Marketers
Three real ways small business marketers use ShortifyMe analytics.
Performance Marketers
Track every paid social link with a unique short URL. The referrer and device breakdowns reveal which combinations of platform and audience actually convert. Stop relying on the ad platform's own metrics; verify with independent data.
Email Marketers
Replace generic tracked URLs in your email campaigns with branded short links. Engagement over time shows exactly when your subscribers click, so you can optimize send times. The location breakdown reveals which segments engage most.
Local and Multi-Location Businesses
Use unique short links or QR codes per location, campaign, or piece of printed marketing. The location breakdown plus referrer data shows which materials drive foot traffic and which don't, so you can invest in what works.
