How to Create Smart Links with Zil Distribution

Smart Links are a powerful tool for music promotion. Instead of sharing separate links for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc., you create one link that automatically detects the listener's preferred platform and redirects them.

What Are Smart Links?

A Smart Link is a single URL that contains links to your music across multiple platforms. When someone clicks it, they see a landing page with all available streaming options, or they're automatically redirected to their preferred service.

How to Create Them in Zil Distribution

1. Log into your Dashboard at zil.gl
2. Navigate to Smart Links in the sidebar
3. Select your release from your catalog
4. Customize your landing page — choose colors, images, and layout
5. Add platform links — the system auto-detects most platforms
6. Generate and share your Smart Link

Best Practices

• Use them everywhere: Social media bios, email signatures, press kits

• Pre-save campaigns: Use Smart Links for pre-save campaigns before release
