SEO-safe split URL checklist

SEO-safe split URL checklist for campaign links

Use this checklist when a split URL test might affect pages that search engines can reach. It keeps the campaign routing plan separate from destination SEO controls such as crawl access, indexing, canonical tags, and redirect duration.

No-cloaking review is confirmed.

Checklist

Review campaign and destination SEO controls

Check whether the test is for campaign traffic, whether destination pages have deliberate crawl and index settings, and whether canonical or noindex choices are documented.

Use split links for ads, email, social, partners, QR codes, and similar campaign channels.
Keep canonical tags and robots rules configured in the destination site.
Confirm visitors and crawlers see the same destination behavior.

Klinky boundary

Klinky routes the link, not destination SEO tags

Klinky does not set canonical tags, robots meta tags, sitemap entries, or destination page headers. Configure those in your CMS, app, or landing page system.

Caution

Separate split-link testing from ranking claims

The checklist helps identify launch cautions for campaign redirects. It does not predict search impact or replace SEO review for crawl-critical pages.
