We strongly recommend using a custom domain for your Geo Links

We strongly recommend using a custom domain (your own vanity domain) to point to your Geo Links rather than our public short URL gtly.to and gtly.ink domains.

The reasons are as follows:

  1. Using a custom domain helps maintain your own brand which makes it more trust worthy helping to increase click through rates.

  2. A custom domain provides a layer of control if in the future you require to swap to another URL shortening service or remove our service all together. Having your own custom domain means you can point your links in the future to your own website or other sources specifically, because it can become hard to swap out links in historical posts in social media platforms.

  3. Public URL-shortening domains are susceptible to getting blacklisted in some rare cases as they are utilized by many parties.
