Placement guide

Where to paste your tracked link on every platform.

HookLedger doesn't need OAuth or a plugin. Each hook gets a short tracked URL — paste it anywhere and the click routes through HookLedger, forwarding to your affiliate destination with the right SubID appended.

The 3-step flow

  1. Generate a hook in Hook Generator.
  2. Attach your affiliate destination URL (in Library or on save).
  3. Copy the tracked short link and paste it anywhere from the platforms below.

WordPress

  1. Edit a post or page in the Gutenberg editor.
  2. Add a Button block (or select any text) and click the link icon.
  3. Paste your tracked short link. Save/update the post.

Systeme.io

  1. Open your funnel step → edit the CTA button.
  2. In Action → paste the tracked link as the destination URL.
  3. For email broadcasts, use the link tool on any button or text.

Beacons / Linktree / Stan.store

  1. Open your link-in-bio dashboard → add a new link block.
  2. Title it after the hook (e.g. 'The 3-min desk fix').
  3. Paste the tracked short link as the URL. Reorder to the top.

Mailchimp / ConvertKit / Beehiiv

  1. Insert a button block in your email.
  2. Set the button URL to the tracked link.
  3. Use one link per hook so click reports stay separable.

Shopify / Wix

  1. Product page: add the tracked link to a marketing block or FAQ answer.
  2. Blog post: link a keyword or CTA button to the tracked URL.
  3. Menu: add a link menu item pointing to the tracked short link.

Buffer / Later / Metricool

  1. Compose a new post → paste the caption with the tracked link inline.
  2. Schedule as usual. The platform will not rewrite the domain.

Notion / Substack

  1. Highlight the phrase you want linked → Cmd/Ctrl+K → paste the URL.
  2. Substack: works in both posts and welcome emails.

Instagram

  1. Profile → Edit profile → paste as your bio 'Website' (or add via a link-in-bio tool).
  2. In captions/stories/DMs, tell viewers 'link in bio' — Instagram doesn't linkify caption URLs.

TikTok

  1. Profile → Edit → Website → paste the tracked URL (available on Business/Creator accounts).
  2. Reference 'link in bio' from the video.

YouTube

  1. Video description: paste the tracked link near the top so it stays above the fold.
  2. Pinned comment: also paste it there for mobile viewers.

X / LinkedIn

  1. Paste the tracked link directly in the post. Both platforms unfurl it as a preview.
  2. Use one link per post to keep click attribution clean.

Not seeing clicks in your affiliate network?

  • Confirm the network is connected in Settings → Integrations.
  • Run an Attribution test on the /affiliates page to verify the SubID reaches your network.
  • Give some networks (Amazon, CJ) up to 24h to show clicks in their dashboard.
