Tips for link QR codes
- Shorter links scan better. Remove parameters you don’t need.
- Link to a page you control so you can update the content without reprinting (why: static vs dynamic QR codes).
- Track scans for free by adding UTM parameters and reading visits in Google Analytics.
- Print big enough — see the QR code size guide.
