Social Media Link Tracking Made Easy With GHL

Social media link tracking is now built into GHL’s Social Planner.

Anytime you share a URL through Social Planner, GHL tracks it for you. You can now see how many clicks your links get, which platforms perform best, and how each URL trends over time.

There’s a new tab called URL Tracking inside the Statistics section. It gives you the full picture without extra steps. You’ll be able to:

• See total clicks for each shared link
• Break down clicks by platform, like Facebook or Instagram
• View how each URL performs over time with built-in charts
• Filter results by platform or campaign name

If you add a campaign name when posting a link, GHL groups all matching posts together. That means you can compare the same link across different social platforms or posts and see what actually worked.This social media link tracking is done right. Simple, clear, and right where you need it.

Social media link tracking used to be a mess.

You had to use outside tools to shorten links. Then you’d check clicks in another dashboard, copy the data, and try to match it all up in a spreadsheet. It was slow, and it didn’t always give you the full picture.

GHL fixed that.

Now, every time you post a link through Social Planner, tracking happens automatically. You can see clicks, trends, and platform-level results right inside your account.There’s no need to switch between tools or pull reports by hand. GHL keeps your social media link tracking simple and in one place.

This helps with reporting too. You can show real numbers tied to real posts. That builds trust with clients and gives them confidence in your strategy.

You also save time. No more logging into five places to pull a report or trying to remember which campaign used which link.With GHL handling the tracking, you stay focused on the strategy instead of the cleanup. You get the numbers you need without extra tools.
