A standard SMS message allows 160 characters. If your tracking URL is 80 characters long, you are forced to cram your marketing message into the remaining 80 characters. Worse, if your text spills over, network providers split your message into two, doubling your Twilio bill instantly.
Saving Space and Money
Incorporating Lynkbee into your SMS automation stack instantly reduces the character payload of your links down to fewer than 20 characters.
A message that used to say:
"Acme: Your food is arriving. Track here:
yoursite.com/orders/track?id=9284752&auth=x8d9w"
Now becomes:
"Acme: Your food is arriving. Track here: acme.co/track/92"
Preventing Filter Bans
Telecom carriers fiercely block generic, free link shorteners in SMS messages to combat spam. By linking your own verified custom domain to Lynkbee, your texts bypass these aggressive carrier filters.
Mobile-First Analytics
Lynkbee's click telemetry distinguishes iOS from Android users. Depending on the device they are using, you can intelligently route iPhone users to the Apple App Store and Android users to Google Play via a single link.
Building Brand Trust
Scams via text messages (smishing) are at an all-time high. Consumers are rightfully terrified to click random links in messages. When they receive a text containing a recognized, branded custom domain, trust increases exponentially, driving higher click-through rates for your campaigns.
