Rebrandly offers 5 domains and up to 500 branded links for free. It would be great if HubSpot offered Rebrandly as an alternative integration. Great for startups that want to scale into a paid tier without paying up-front costs. https://www.rebrandly.com/pricing
All great points - I personally much prefer rebrand.ly to bit.ly, and would love for that option as a custom URL shortener, but there should also be the option not to shorten links. It makes sense sometimes - if you're sharing a long and unwieldy URL, but if you're sharing your website (www.xyz.com) it's crazy that it replaces it - particularly when it's sometimes equally short!
I have to go into the posted social media posts and edit it within the network to put the original URL back - not exactly a great workflow
I agree 100%! It's one thing to have hub.ly help shorten long, unwieldly links, but to have it remove your brand with a longer, unbranded url is really stupid and not in line with any brand strategy I've ever heard about. At the very least, you should be able to turn off the hub.ly replacement option and leave your links as typed.
This should absolutely be enabled, it is absurd to have to pay for Bitly just to be able to "park" (double-park) the short domain, only to use it through HubSpot, never to open Bitly. Ridiculous. Please offer another solution, asap. Direct HS short link solution or using other apps.
