As Google announced plans to scale down support for their popular Goo.gl link shortening it’s time to consider an alternative.
As of April 13th, the service ceased for new and anonymous users, existing users can continue using the goo.gl console up to March 2019. As support has dwindled and the end is nigh, there’s no better time to sign up for link shortening with advanced analytics with Beacon.
