Frequently Asked Questions
Does s.id schedule and manage social posts?
No. Use the publishing and scheduling tools provided by each social platform or your social media management service. s.id manages the destination link and its available analytics.
Does s.id run A/B tests for social CTAs?
Not as a native social experimentation tool. You can create distinct links for a controlled test, but design, randomization, and interpretation belong in your testing workflow.
Are social short links unlimited and completely free?
No blanket unlimited claim applies. The current Free plan allows up to 8 new short links per day; paid-plan limits and features differ.

Give each social placement a clear, trackable destination
Short links can help teams organize destinations shared across Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other networks. A consistent alias makes the destination easier to identify, while channel-specific campaign parameters help separate aggregate clicks by placement.
s.id does not schedule social posts or perform native A/B testing for those platforms. It records link activity according to the selected plan. Use each network's analytics for reach and engagement, then connect short-link clicks with destination outcomes for a fuller view.
Social-link governance for teams
A shared naming and testing routine prevents campaign links from becoming an untraceable collection of aliases.
Use a naming standard
Document how campaign, channel, placement, and creative values are written before the team creates links.
Avoid misleading disguises
The post and alias should honestly describe the destination, especially for downloads, payments, and affiliate offers.
Retire expired campaigns
Review old bios and scheduled content so expired offers do not continue sending visitors to an irrelevant page.
Make your next campaign link easier to trust and measure
Create a free s.id account, publish your first short link, and upgrade only when you need higher limits or advanced controls.
