For example, if your brand name is called “PChome”, you hope that you can highlight your brand with short links on PicSee, and we recommend that you can set them like as follows:
• Subdomain: pchome.pse.is
• Branded short domain: pchome.link

The “subdomain” on PicSee means add the brand identifier in front of PicSee’s default link, so the domain remains “pse.is” in the link. But branded short domain allows users to customize the words they want. Your links will not be recognized as using PicSee's service.

What are the benefits of having a subdomain？

The features of the subdomain allow each registered user to set it for free. The benefits are as follows:
1. Increase brand recognition: The audience can know the link is from your brand by the link, which can increase their trust, and they are more willing to click your link.
2. Be able to use the feature of editing preview on PicSee: Because of the security, you must have a subdomain, if you want to edit your link preview and title. If you use PicSee default short link, you cannot use this feature.
3. Be able to use the feature of opening in YouTube App: Because of the security, when you share the YouTube video on PicSee, it will use the subdomain by default. When the audience plays a video on a phone, the link will be opened in YouTube App, which helps you to increase subscribers on YouTube.
4. Be able to implement Facebook domain verification: After you verify your domain, you can collect Facebook Pixel through PicSee short link. And it can also perform better in algorithms.
5. Avoid being recognized as a malicious link: Although PicSee has implemented link security controls, there may still be a time gap that could result in malicious link leakage, and it affects the reach of PicSee’s default short links. The subdomain is exclusively for your brand, allowing you to maintain an independent security score.

What are the benefits of having a branded short domain？

PicSee offers users full use of their brand in short links. Not only the short links can be customized, but also the domain called “Branded short domain” can be set. The benefits of setting branded short domain are as follows:
1. Increasing brand recognition, and can use the feature of editing preview on PicSee, and do Facebook domain verification.
2. Avoid being recognized as a malicious link: Branded short domains use a fully independent domain. As long as users use the domain appropriately, the links won’t be recognized as malicious.
3. Will not be subject to PicSee's security inspection limitations: We do not allow users to shorten the short links again on PicSee and some domains which have blacklists cannot create links. If you enable a branded short domain, you can shorten any links without restriction. (If there is a legal dispute, you are responsible for any consequences)

How to set branded short domain？

Branded short domains can be divided into two categories:
• PicSee branded short domain: Through the branded short domain which you purchased on PicSee, you can enjoy all the advanced features.
• Own branded short domain: Users can use their domain to connect to PicSee. The setup is free, but users have to implement DNS settings by themselves. If you want to use the advanced features, you'll need to subscribe separately.
