    We do plan on creating an API that will allow users to create links, and view links through integrations, but it isn’t built currently. That’s an interesting solution for resolutio…

    It depends on each company, for example let’s say you have a link to a holiday party, you can create go/holidayparty and update that every year to the new page, or use go/holidaypa…

    That's actually a really good suggestion, thanks!

    Thanks! The functionality is definitely powerful at large scales. We want to provide a solution that companies can get started with right away, with zero setup.

    That's great! More companies need a solution like the one you've created, unfortunately, not everyone knows how to build one. There needs to be an easy way to access important link…

    Outages are definitely a risk every company encounters. Whether it's a third-party hosted solution or an internal solution, unfortunately, servers do go down. We run all our servic…

    It's all about building trust with the company. We don't store or read any information on the sites you visit, we just redirect URLs that contain "go" as the domain, and provide a …

    Pricing is always a tough thing to get right. If you look at Shopify's pricing page on the internet archive, you can see it changes almost every week since 2012, so it's something …

    These are all great questions. Security is definitely our number one priority, especially since most of our customers are large enterprises. In order to create a link, you must fir…

    Good catch, we've been doing some price experimentation with user count and price, and I think that line needs to be updated.

    That's a great suggestion, our support page could include more technical details. It's long over due for some updates.

    Stay tuned, we're working on creating a more granular permissions policy as this is a concern for many users. We can promise you that we don't store or read any information on the …

    Specifically, it's to resolve any go links that exist in your browser, but we plan to explore the partial permissions options to have the user choose if they want this feature enab…

    We're still experimenting with our ad strategy, but one of our target markets are previous employees of companies who have used to have a go link system. It just happen to spread t…

    We have a mobile application on the product roadmap, so stay tuned! For our business model, we’re focusing on making GoLinks integrate with all the great applications that you use …

    Yep, It’s in our terms of service, in the unlikely case something happens to GoLinks, we will provide you with all your links. But we plan on being around for a long time.

    You pretty much just listed out our current backlog. Great minds think a like! For the first item though, we plan to implement “tags”. The sub directory format actually causes link…

    Yep! This is a problem we've addressed by making everyone in the organization an owner. If a link breaks, anyone in the organization can change it, even if the original creator lea…

    It's less of a link shortener and more of a link manager for companies. The concern that companies have with URL shorteners is they can't manage who is creating these links, and wh…

    Yep, that's correct! That works assuming you have access to setup subdomains for contoso.com. We make it easy for any employee, technical and non-technical, to update and create li…

    Always happy to see go links being used at other companies! You can actually take this a step further at Eligrey. By setting up a DNS Entry that redirects go.eligrey.com to the dom…

    This is definitely a real concern, and we're actually exploring the Chrome permissions to see if it's possible to redirect your traffic, without requiring the "Read all data" permi…
