How to manage Geo templates

Short.io provides Geo-targeting feature which redirects users to the relevant web pages depending on their location.

When generating a new short link or editing an existing one, you have the option to include Geo-targeting. However, the process of adding countries or regions individually can be quite tedious. To simplify the task, you can pre-compile lists of countries and regions (templates) for your targeting needs.

Note

Country targeting starts from Hobby plan; Region targeting — from Team plan.

The templates can be customized for each user individually or implemented at once for all members of your team.
