Google Analytics

When someone clicks your short link, Linkkit loads a redirect page that fires the standard Google Analytics gtag.js pageview — exactly like visiting a page on your own website. The hit shows up in your GA4 property in real time.

How to set it up

1. Open any link in Linkkit and click Edit

2. Click Ad Tracking in the link toolbar

3. Paste your Measurement ID — GA4 (G-XXXXXXXX), Universal Analytics (UA-XXXXXX-X), or Google Ads (AW-XXXXXXXXX)

4. Save — the next click will appear in GA4 under Reports → Realtime

What gets tracked

• A standard pageview event fires on every click

• GA4 captures the visitor's browser, device, and country automatically

• The referrer (where the click came from) is passed through to GA4

Limitations

• May produce less accurate data when link cloaking is enabled — the tracking hit fires from the Linkkit redirect page, not the destination

• Fires a pageview, not a custom click event — use Google Tag Manager if you need custom events

• Client-side only — visitors with JavaScript disabled or strict ad blockers may not be tracked
