Connect Your Custom Domain in Minutes

LinkForge supports full CNAME configuration. Follow these three steps to activate your branded links and start tracking clicks immediately.

1. Verify Ownership

Add the TXT verification record to your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, or AWS Route 53). Our system validates ownership automatically within 60 seconds.

2. Configure CNAME Record

Create a CNAME pointing your subdomain (e.g., go.yourbrand.com) to routing.linkforge.io. Propagation typically completes in under 15 minutes.

3. Activate & Redirect

Toggle the SSL certificate and enable HTTPS redirects in your LinkForge dashboard. Your branded links are now live and ready for campaigns.

Why Marketers Switch to Branded Domains

Higher Click-Through Rates

Campaigns using custom domains average a 24% increase in CTR compared to generic shorteners. Familiar URLs reduce friction and encourage clicks.

Enhanced Brand Trust

Users are 3x more likely to click links that match your official website. Branded URLs eliminate the spam perception and protect your reputation.

Seamless Campaign Integration

Pair your custom domain with LinkForge's UTM builder and A/B testing engine. Track performance across email, social, and paid ads without breaking attribution.
