I built a simple link tracking tool because I was tired of guessing campaign results

When you're working on multiple projects or campaigns, one thing becomes obvious very quickly:

We share links everywhere…
but we rarely know what actually works.

You post on LinkedIn.
You send emails.
You run ads.

And then you check results… and it’s mostly assumptions.

The problem I kept facing

In most cases, I couldn’t clearly answer:

Which post actually drove traffic?
Which campaign performed better?
Where are users really coming from?

Yes, tools like Google Analytics exist, but setting things up properly (especially UTMs) is either:

too manual
inconsistent
or just skipped

And when you're moving fast, you don’t want that friction.

So I built something simple

I decided to build a small tool for myself.

Nothing over-engineered. Just something practical.

The idea was simple:

Create short links quickly
Attach UTM parameters easily
Track clicks in real time
See actual traffic sources without digging

That’s how ShortIQ started.

Also, early users can request a free upgrade — you can increase your limit from 20 links up to 50 from the billing section. Just drop a request there 👍

Would love your feedback.
