TL;DR:

What Hopp.bio Is

Hopp.bio is a bio link tool launched by Bitly in 2023 as a sister product to their URL-shortening service. The pitch: combine bio-link functionality with Bitly's deep link-tracking infrastructure for richer cross-channel analytics.

Bitly has been the dominant URL shortener for over a decade. Hopp brings that tracking capability to the bio-link format.

What Makes Hopp Different

  • Native video previews. TikTok, Reels and Shorts auto-embed inline with thumbnail + play button.
  • Bitly-grade link analytics. Every Hopp button is essentially a Bitly link with deep tracking ??” clicks by source, country, device, time-of-day.
  • Custom branded short links per button. Each button can be a branded short URL (e.g. yourname.co/promo) tracked in your Bitly dashboard.
  • Bitly integration. If you already use Bitly, Hopp shares the same dashboard and analytics.
  • Cross-channel tracking. Same short link works in social bio, email signatures, podcasts ??” analytics consolidates by URL, not by surface.
