Frequently Asked Questions
Does s.id calculate campaign ROI automatically?
Not from link clicks alone. ROI requires verified campaign cost and business outcome data from the relevant ad, commerce, CRM, or analytics systems.
Can s.id add UTM parameters?
The shortener supports adding campaign parameters during link creation. Your team still needs a consistent naming standard and should verify the final URL.
Is pixel retargeting included on every plan?
No. Retargeting and other advanced campaign controls are available only on eligible plans. Review the current plan comparison before implementation.

A consistent link layer for cross-channel campaigns
Campaign links work best when source, medium, campaign, and content values follow one naming system. s.id can help create compact destinations and add UTM parameters before sharing, so teams do not have to expose long query strings in every placement.
Click analytics help show how often and where a link was opened, subject to plan availability and retention. ROI still requires cost and conversion data from advertising, commerce, CRM, or analytics systems. Retargeting pixels and custom domains are plan-dependent capabilities, not defaults for every account.
Campaign-link operating standards
The reporting value comes from consistent inputs and ownership, not from shortening the URL alone.
Assign an owner
Record who can change the destination, when the campaign ends, and what should happen to the link afterward.
Keep taxonomy documented
Use approved lowercase naming and avoid creating near-duplicate source or campaign values.
Separate clicks from ROI
Treat short-link analytics as traffic evidence and calculate return using verified cost and conversion records.
