There are two things people mean by this: a clean profile link like linkedin.com/in/your-name, and short, trackable links for the posts you share. This covers both — and how to see who actually clicks.
Default profile URL
Custom profile URL
LinkedIn has a free, built-in setting that turns the default string of numbers into linkedin.com/in/your-name. It is quick, and it is handled inside LinkedIn — steps are below.
For the links you share in posts, a shortener makes them clean and — unlike LinkedIn — tells you how many people clicked, from which countries and devices. That is what a tool like this one is for.
This one is LinkedIn's own feature, not ours — but it is worth doing, and it takes under a minute.
Open your profile and click “Edit public profile & URL” in the top-right corner.
Under “Edit your custom URL”, click the pencil icon next to your current address.
Type the ending you want — 5 to 30 letters or numbers — and LinkedIn tells you if it is free.
Save. Your profile now lives at linkedin.com/in/your-name.
Paste the link you want to post. Get a short, clean version — and see exactly how many people click it.
Paste a link, add the redirection rules you need, and get a short link — free.
LinkedIn tells you how many people saw your post. It does not tell you how many clicked your link. A tracked short link does.
Swap a long, parameter-heavy URL for gsl.li/my-post. It reads better and looks less like spam.
See how many people actually clicked through — the number LinkedIn never shows you for outbound links.
Send connections in each country to their local page, store or booking link from the same post.
The link stays the same while you change where it points — fix a typo or update the target without reposting.
No. When you paste a link, LinkedIn builds a preview card but leaves the full URL in your text, and it does not cloak, shorten or track the destination. A tidy trick: paste your link, wait for the preview card to appear, then delete the raw URL from the text — the card stays, and your post stays clean.
Using a short link in the first place does the same job and adds what LinkedIn leaves out: a readable address and a real click count.
Shorten the links you share, track every click by country and device, and route visitors to the right place. Free to start.
