How to set up Geo-targeting for a short link

Some websites utilize information that is not specifically relevant to individual users, depending on the regions or countries in which they live.

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

The advantage of Short.io Geo-targeting is that you can choose countries and regions in bulk instead of adding them one by one.

And you can also use a Geo-template to further streamline your workflow.

Note

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

1. Sign in to your Short.io account.

2. You can either

   • shorten a link and click on Geo-targeting and then Close:
