Learn the basics

To learn about the benefits Rebrandly brings you, start with these articles:

Sign up and verify your email

Create an account to get started. See How do I sign up for Rebrandly?

Once your account is set up, you could shorten your first link using the rebrand.ly domain. But adding a branded domain to your links is key to getting more attention and clicks.

Add a branded domain

The domain is the first part of your branded link, like rebrand.ly or rebrandly.rocks. When searching, choose something that represents you and your brand. You'll get a higher click-through rate with links that represent you and look familiar and trustworthy.

I'll be using my own branded domain

I'll purchase a domain through Rebrandly

Set up redirects for your main domain and 404 errors, so that users are always directed back to your content.

Shorten and brand links

Once you've set up a domain, you'll want to start creating links and QR Codes. Maybe you want to do them one at a time, maybe you want to import a list to create a bunch.

Collaborate with your colleagues

With some subscription plans, you can create workspaces to organize and group links and teammates. These are the features you'll need to collaborate with others in your account.
