Understanding Analytics

Every ULink click generates data. Analytics transforms that raw data into insights about your audience, campaign performance, and user behavior.

What you'll learn

  • Overview of analytics metrics available in ULink
  • How to interpret click data and engagement
  • Using analytics to optimize your link strategy

Why link analytics matter

Without analytics, you're flying blind:

  • Which campaigns are driving traffic?
  • What devices are your users on?
  • Which links get the most clicks?
  • Where is your audience located?

ULink captures this data automatically for every click.

Key Concept

Link analytics bridge the gap between marketing effort and measurable results. Every click tells a story about who your audience is and what resonates with them.

What ULink tracks

Click data

Data pointWhat it tells you
Total clicksOverall engagement volume
Click timestampWhen users engage most
ReferrerWhere users came from
UTM parametersCampaign source/medium/name

Device & platform

Data pointWhat it tells you
Device typeMobile vs. desktop vs. tablet
Operating systemiOS vs. Android vs. other
BrowserChrome, Safari, in-app browsers
User agentDetailed browser/device info

Geographic data

Data pointWhat it tells you
CountryWhere your audience is located
RegionMore granular location data
CityUrban vs. suburban patterns
Marketing focus: Use geographic and device data to optimize ad targeting. If most clicks come from iOS users in California, focus budget there.

The analytics dashboard

ULink's dashboard shows you link performance:

Link overview

See metrics for each link:

  • Total clicks over time
  • Device breakdown (mobile/desktop)
  • Geographic distribution
  • UTM parameter data

Click details

Individual click records show:

  • Timestamp
  • Device and OS
  • Location (country, region, city)
  • Referrer and UTM data

Filtering and date ranges

  • Filter by date range
  • View specific time periods
  • Compare performance across links

What analytics can tell you

Which links perform best

Compare click counts across your links to identify:

  • High-performing content or campaigns
  • Links that need optimization
  • Patterns in what resonates with your audience

Who your audience is

Device and location data reveals:

  • Mobile vs. desktop users (optimize accordingly)
  • Geographic concentration (target ads better)
  • Platform preferences (prioritize iOS or Android)

When users engage

Timestamp data shows:

  • Peak engagement times
  • Day-of-week patterns
  • Campaign timing effectiveness
Gotcha

ULink tracks clicks, not post-click behavior. To understand what users do after clicking (purchases, signups, etc.), combine ULink data with your app analytics.

Privacy considerations

ULink analytics are designed with privacy in mind:

  • No personally identifiable information (PII) stored
  • IP addresses used for geolocation, then discarded
  • No cross-site tracking
  • Data used only for your analytics

Quick recap

  • ULink automatically captures click, device, and geographic data
  • Dashboard shows link performance, click details, and filtering options
  • Use analytics to identify top performers and understand your audience
  • Combine with your app analytics for full-funnel visibility
