Meta Description: Discover how UCLA link management transformed with Dub’s URL shortening and attribution, boosting tracking accuracy, flexibility, and real-time insights.

The Challenge: Beyond Basic URL Shortening

When UCLA first needed a branded experience for its campus links, it turned to UCLA.in powered by bit.ly. It did the job—short links in emails, SMS, social posts. But UCLA soon hit roadblocks:

No custom aliases. Links came out random.
Limited analytics. Click counts only. No geo, no device data.
UCLA.in only worked on official domains.
No conversion insights. Hard to track registrations, downloads, sign-ups.

In short, the campus marketing team needed more. They needed UCLA link management that went deeper than “how many clicks.”
