Easy to use, great for branding

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: There are a ton of URL shorteners. This one is the best.

Easy to find and options for our brand name and is a much better user/brand experience than Bit.ly. Very helpful and responsive customer support, easy URL builder, love the copy feature -- greatly streamlines work. Just a nice, easy, elegant solution

I cannot think of any cons at this time.

Easily create branded links that build trust in the quality & value of your content

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Their platform is a great fit, because it enables us to work rapidly and independently but with greater consistency and quality across our multiple lines of business. BL.INK created URL builders that simplify the creation of tracking links, and the team has helped connect data exports to our reporting dashboards.

Pros:

Using BL.INK, we can easily create branded website links, that over time, help build trust in the quality and value of the content we share. Advanced features like dynamic links and promo badges are useful. I especially appreciate that BL.INK is very client focused, and the team eagerly listens to our business needs and offers innovative solutions.

Cons:

Our wish list initially included full integration of BL.INK with our social media content publishing tool, and BL.INK continued to advocate for this. We're excited that a solution launched early in 2019.

Blink review

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: I use Bl.ink on a regular basis and rarely have any problems with it. It's pretty useful but I wish there were some more options. Bulk uploads may be available but I can't get them to work. It would also be nice to be able to create pre set templates so that I don't have to select new options every time I want to create a new link.

Pros:

I like that it's easy to go in and create tracked links that measure traffic to our website. The interface is easy to use, straightforward, and offers enough customization options for us.

Cons:

I have to upload links one at a time. I've tried to upload spreadsheets of multiple links that I would like to be tracked but I can't get it to work properly.
