ShortFreeURL for Agencies
Client separation, client domains and reporting you can hand over.
Agencies need the same platform to serve many clients without their work mixing. That means separate teams, separate domains, separate reporting, and the ability to hand a client their data or their whole link library without a negotiation.
One client, one team
An organisation can hold several teams, and each team has its own domains, folders, members and reporting. That is the cleanest way to run client work: nobody sees another client's links, and reporting scopes naturally.
Members can belong to more than one team, so an account manager working across three clients does not need three logins.
- A team per client with its own domains and folders
- Members across multiple teams from one account
- Roles from owner and admin to user and read-only
- Per-link permissions on campaign-critical links
Links on the client's domain
Client links should carry the client's brand, not yours and not a generic shortener's. Connect the client's domain or a subdomain of it, and certificates are issued and renewed automatically.
It also makes handover clean: if the relationship ends, the domain and its links belong to the client, and the redirects continue to resolve.
- Unlimited client domains with automatic SSL
- Main-page redirect and custom 404 per domain
- Per-domain defaults for status code and tagging
- Clean handover because the domain is the client's
Conventions that scale across accounts
Saved UTM presets and folder defaults let you apply the same naming discipline across every client without briefing every junior on every account. New links inherit the campaign, source and medium values from the folder they are created in.
Bulk creation and bulk editing handle campaign setup and mid-flight corrections at the scale agencies actually work at.
- Saved presets and folder-level defaults
- Bulk creation of a whole placement plan
- Bulk correction of tagging that has drifted
- Tags and query-syntax search across large libraries
Reporting clients can read
Reports scope to a link, folder, tag, campaign or domain over any date range, with period comparison. Bot and human traffic are separated, which prevents the uncomfortable conversation about launch-day numbers that were mostly scanners.
Conversion tracking joins clicks to outcomes with values, so a report can talk about results rather than traffic.
- Reporting by client domain, folder, tag or campaign
- Human and automated traffic split out
- Conversion tracking with an optional value
- CSV export and API pulls for your own reporting stack
Giving clients access, safely
Read-only roles let a client see their own numbers without the ability to change anything. Per-link permissions protect links that are already printed or live in paid media.
Because access is scoped to a team, giving a client a login never exposes another client's work.
- Read-only client access scoped to their team
- Per-link permissions on live and printed links
- SAML 2.0 SSO for your own staff
- Audit-friendly separation between accounts
Onboarding and offboarding
New clients arrive with an existing link library. CSV and XLSX import bring it in, and a dedicated Bitly import preserves existing short codes so shares that are already in the world keep resolving.
When work ends, everything exports — links, settings and analytics — so handover is a file rather than a favour.
- CSV, XLSX and Bitly import on onboarding
- Full export of links and analytics on handover
- REST API for bulk migration work
- Published Free and paid plans with clear feature and usage allowances
Questions
Can we keep clients completely separate?
Yes. Each client gets its own team with its own domains, folders, members and reporting scope.
Can links run on our client's domain?
Yes, and they should. Connect their domain or a subdomain with automatic SSL.
Can clients log in to see their own numbers?
Yes, with a read-only role scoped to their team so they see their work and nothing else.
What happens if a client leaves?
Export everything and hand it over. Because the links live on their domain, redirects continue to resolve.
Can we bring across a client's existing Bitly links?
Yes, there is a dedicated Bitly import that preserves short codes so existing shares keep working.
Run every client on their own domain, in their own team.
