Clicks you can't defend
Previews and bots inflate click counts, so the campaign that looks best often isn't.
With gotlyEvery click is checked: previews, crawlers and repeat opens by the same person on the same day are left out.
By team · Marketing
One honest number for every campaign
gotly gives each channel its own short link and QR code, keeps your UTM tags behind it, and counts the people who opened it. WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Slack previews, search crawlers and scripts are counted out before the number reaches your report.
Free forever. Pro from $7 a month billed yearly, or $9 monthly.
What gets in the way, and how gotly fixes it

With gotlyOne short name per channel (gotly.link/sale-ig, gotly.link/sale-wa), each with its own UTM tags behind it.
Posters you can't change
A printed QR code points at a page that changes next week.

Questions from marketing teams
How does gotly decide what counts as a click?
A click is a person opening your link. Link previews from WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Slack and email scanners, search crawlers and scripts are recognised and left out, and the same person opening the link again on the same day counts once.
Can I keep my UTM tags?
Yes. The full URL with its UTM tags sits behind the short link, so Google Analytics still sees the source, medium and campaign. gotly also has a UTM builder in the new-link form.
Can I get a weekly report by email?
Yes, on Pro and up. Every Monday you get the past week's real clicks, top links and top sources.
Can several people on my team use one account?
Yes. Pro includes 3 seats and Business 10, with owner, member and viewer roles on Business.
