Branch’s powerful deep links can generate a lot of value for your organization, but tapping into their full potential means scaling deep linked campaigns across platforms and channels. In working with many of the largest apps in the world, we understand that it can be difficult to consistently build, deploy, and manage high volumes of links across every channel and team member. Consequently, larger organizations often face a lot of manual work, spreadsheets, and troubleshooting. We built LinkHub to address these challenges and solve linking at scale.
What is LinkHub?
LinkHub, Branch’s enterprise link management solution, streamlines workflows, cuts manual work, reduces costs, and eliminates inefficiencies. Build templates, create bulk links, and analyze past links seamlessly in one unified dashboard to expedite link creation and ensure clean reporting.

LinkHub empowers marketing operations leaders and agencies to develop Link Templates for the wider team to deploy campaigns with confidence. These templates serve as guardrails to ensure that various marketing members create links and campaign tags consistently. This leads to more efficient link creation, reliable link behavior, and standardized reporting. In fact, we found that Link Templates speed up the link creation workflow by 52%, with our top five LinkHub Template customers spending just 35 seconds per link created, compared to 74 seconds on average for all customers creating Quick Links from July to August 2023. Link Templates also provide the foundation for creating standardized links in bulk without the need for spreadsheets.
Link Templates and bulk tools can help social media marketers, growth marketers, and performance marketers build more campaigns and deploy them faster. Plus, our new search and filtering capabilities make it easy to find and report on past campaigns. Whether it was your most recent link or one of your oldest, you can find past links to optimize and repeat or easily scan to see which campaigns are best driving your KPIs.
Overall, LinkHub provides new and improved methods for ensuring consistent link governance, behavior, and reporting. This benefits everyone from product managers looking to improve mobile experiences to analytics teams looking to access consistent reporting. Developers who need to govern the analytics schemas and overall deep link creation process can gain confidence that their peers will create deep links correctly and reduce troubleshooting.
