How to Run Ads That Redirect to a Specific Product

What Is a Direct Product Link?

A direct product link is a unique URL that leads customers straight to a specific product page—bypassing your homepage or catalog. It’s a focused, no-friction entry point to drive attention directly to what you’re promoting.

Example:

Why Direct Product Links Matter in Ads

When you’re investing in digital advertising—on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Google—you want every click to count. Sending users to a generic landing page adds friction, confusion, and drop-off risk.

Here’s why direct links outperform general ones:

  • Higher Conversion Rates: Users land exactly on the item you’re advertising.

  • Faster Checkout Flow: No extra browsing required.

  • Improved Campaign Tracking: You’ll know exactly which product and ad drove the sale.

  • Better ROI on Ad Spend: Every click is hyper-targeted.

  • Stronger Retargeting Signals: You can segment visitors by interest (e.g., viewed X product but didn’t buy).
