What is a Destination URL?

When using a URL Shortener, you have two URLs. One is the "shortened URL" - which doesn't necessarily have to be shorter - and the other is the destination URL (also called "landing page") - where the first link will redirect or point to.

A destination URL is the end destination of your shortened URL.

​

How to Change the Destination URL

To change the destination URL, log in to your Rebrandly account and go to your links dashboard. Then follow the instructions set out in this video:

Note: You can also change the main branded link URL or domain, but doing this will render the old branded short link dead - it will no longer connect to your destination link.

You can change the destination URL as many times as you would like.

​

Why would you want to change your URL?

To point people from a static location, like your Instagram account, to your latest blog post.

To take an old link that pointed at least years event and now point it at this year's event.

To update UTM parameters within the destination URL.

To point someone to a more appropriate piece of content.

To update a bad or dead link.

To redirect users to a new location.
