Description

Smart. Customizable. Conversion‑focused.

Plinkly is the ultimate solution for crafting call-to-action buttons that don’t just look good — they perform. Powered by AI and precision analytics, Plinkly gives marketers and creators the tools they need to increase clicks, boost conversions, and optimize placement across any WordPress site.

* Gutenberg block and Elementor widget included.
* Click-tracking built in — no setup needed.
* Works out of the box, even without Plinkly Cloud.

🌐 Plinkly Cloud Features (Free + Pro Tiers):

🧩 Available Add-Ons (Pro Only):

Plinkly – EasyLink Put
Turn keywords into buttons — automatically. Assign links to specific words from the Gutenberg editor, and let Plinkly handle the rest. Every click is tracked, giving you clear insight into what content drives results.

Plinkly – CTA Placement Tracker
See exactly where your CTAs convert best. This add-on analyzes click activity by “zones” across your page layout and provides detailed reports to help you optimize for maximum engagement.

Plinkly – Link Sentinel
Keep your CTAs error-free. Link Sentinel automatically scans all Plinkly buttons for broken links or failed redirects, notifies you via email, and logs results to a central report — so you never lose conversions to dead URLs.
