How do you track a "link click" from an SMS? It's pretty simple 🤷🏻♂️
- Shorten your "actual link" ✂️
- Send that "shortened link" in SMS 📲
- User clicks on "shortened link" in SMS and opens it up in browser 🤏
- Boom, that's a click 🥳 (Increment your clicks stats)
- Now you can redirect them to "actual link" ♺
That's how all link click tracking works actually 🤷🏻♂️
Let's take a look at Twitter as an example:
When you click on any link shared inside a tweet, Twitter first redirects you to a url https://t.co. That's how link clicks are calculated in Twitter analytics.
bit.ly works the same 😉
I hope someone finds it useful 🙌🏼
