Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
Answers about how GetLinkPunch measures offline marketing, what it costs, and how to get started.
How is GetLinkPunch different from Bitly or a regular URL shortener?
URL shorteners tell you that someone clicked a link. GetLinkPunch shows which flyer, location, and campaign drove that scan or click, and whether it turned into revenue. It measures offline marketing spend-to-return, not just clicks.
What kinds of physical marketing can I track?
Anything that can display a link or QR code: flyers, postcards, mailers, business cards, door hangers, vehicle wraps, billboards, receipts, menus, table tents, window signs, event booths, product packaging, yard signs, brochures, and sponsorship banners.
How does spend-to-return attribution work?
You assign a trackable link or QR to each placement and log what you spent. GetLinkPunch records scans and clicks in real time. When you connect booking or POS data, revenue ties back to the exact campaign that earned it so you see true return on spend.
Do I need to be technical to set this up?
No. Create a campaign, place the link or QR on your material, and you are live. If you can copy a URL, you can run GetLinkPunch.
How do I get access right now?
GetLinkPunch is in private beta until we reach 100 users and 2,500 power users, then we open to the general public. Apply at getlinkpunch.com/beta.html. We onboard founding businesses in small waves and reach out when your spot opens.
What do beta testers have to do?
Invited testers follow the founding beta schedule on getlinkpunch.com/beta-testers: go live with a tracked campaign, submit testimonial proof, and complete feedback checkpoints. Participation is required. Miss required checkpoints without notice and your seat is removed until GetLinkPunch opens to the general public (after 100 users and 2,500 power users).
How long does private beta last?
Private beta lasts until GetLinkPunch reaches 100 users and 2,500 power users. After both milestones, we open to the general public.
Who is GetLinkPunch for?
Any business that spends money on offline or physical marketing and needs proof it works: restaurants, salons, gyms, med-spas, realtors, contractors, retailers, event vendors, nonprofits, franchises, CPG brands, agencies, and local service companies.
Can I connect GetLinkPunch to my CRM or POS?
Yes. Connect booking tools, CRMs, and payment systems so scans and conversions flow into your stack and attribute back to the placement that drove them.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Traffic is encrypted in transit, data is stored in access-controlled databases, and we do not sell your campaign data or share it with third parties for marketing.
Still have a question?
Apply for the GetLinkPunch private beta and put a money trail on one campaign.
