Linkkit Team

Building the future of link management and analytics.

We built Linkkit because we believed every marketer deserves to know what happens after they share a link.

Not just a total click count. Not just a basic bar chart you have to upgrade to see. Real data — where clicks came from, what device they were on, what time they happened — available for every link, on every plan, from the moment your first click lands.

What Linkkit tracks — automatically

Every short link you create in Linkkit automatically tracks the following data points. No setup. No integrations. No code to add to your website.

Total clicks

A live click counter that updates in real time. You see exactly how many times your link has been clicked — total, and broken down by time period.

Click location

A geographic breakdown showing where your clicks are coming from — by country first, then by city. Displayed as both a world map and a sortable list. This tells you which markets are engaging with your content.

Device type

A breakdown of mobile vs desktop vs tablet clicks. In 2026, the average link gets over 70% of its clicks on mobile — but this varies significantly by channel and audience.

Referrer source

Where did the click come from? Linkkit tracks the referrer — the platform or page the visitor was on when they clicked. This means you can see clicks attributed to email, Instagram, LinkedIn, direct, or any specific website.

Clicks over time

A time-based chart showing when clicks happened — by hour of day and by day. Useful for understanding when your audience is most active.

How to use this data

For email campaigns:

Check referrer data to see how many clicks came from your email vs other channels. Check device type to see if mobile optimisation is an issue.

For social media:

Create a different short link for each platform. Compare analytics to see which platform drives the most engaged traffic.

For print and QR codes:

Your QR codes are tracked the same way as link clicks. Check location data to see which geographic areas are engaging with your physical materials.

For timing:

Use the clicks-over-time chart to identify when your audience is most active. Schedule future campaigns around those windows.

Available on every plan

Click analytics are not a premium feature in Linkkit. They're available on every plan — including the free plan — for every link you create. We believe knowing what happens after you share a link is a basic requirement for anyone doing marketing, not a premium add-on.
