Retarget anyone who clicks your link — even off your own site

A retargeting pixel is a tracking tag from Meta, Google, X, LinkedIn, or TikTok that fires when someone clicks a link — adding them to a custom audience you can re-advertise to. Normally you can only retarget visitors of your own website, because that's where the pixel lives. Linkly lets you fire the pixel on the click — meaning anyone who clicks your link, even if they never landed on your site, ends up in your retargeting audience. This is how you build retargeting audiences from email opens, social posts, podcast notes, paid affiliates, and anywhere else you don't control the destination page.

Three teams that retarget from a Linkly link

Affiliate marketers

Drop a Linkly link into a podcast episode. Every listener who taps the show notes ends up in a Meta custom audience, which you then retarget with a video ad for the affiliate product. Conversion rates on the retargeted audience routinely 3–5× cold traffic.

E-commerce brands

Put Linkly links on physical packaging QR codes. Customers who scan from the box are added to a purchased-and-scanned Meta audience, then retargeted with cross-sell campaigns weeks after the original purchase.

B2B SaaS

Share Linkly links in cold email outreach. Click = added to LinkedIn retargeting audience. Now your ad shows up in the prospect's feed before your follow-up email lands.

Frequently asked questions about retargeting pixels

How long does a retargeting audience persist after someone clicks?
That's controlled by the ad platform, not Linkly — Meta and Google let you set audience retention from 1 to 180 days. Linkly fires the pixel on click; the platform then decides how long to keep that person in your custom audience.
Which platforms are supported?
Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Google Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Pinterest, Microsoft Ads, Snap, and custom JavaScript pixels.
Do I need to install code on my website?
No. Pixels fire on the click, on Linkly's servers — no website changes required. This is what lets you retarget audiences from places you don't control, like other people's websites, podcasts, or print QR codes.
Is retargeting pixel support on the free plan?
No. Retargeting pixels are available on Pro plans and above. The free plan covers links, analytics, custom domains, and link cloaking.
Will visitors know they've been pixelled?
Behaviour is identical to a website pixel — your privacy policy should already cover this. Linkly respects Do Not Track signals at the click level.
