Question

When I assign a url, can I choose from different domains?

We currently have over 3 brands and create landing pages for each and need each landing page to reflect the brands unique url, is it possible to use different domains to cater to each brand? (for landing pages and emails)

Yes, you can create a CNAME for each brand.  What this does is allow you to place urls in your emails that reflect the brand name.  The only thing to note is that the CNAMEd URL will resolve back to your domain name once they click it.

The only thing to note is that the CNAMEd URL will resolve back to your domain name once they click it.

When you create an LP CNAME (domain alias) in DNS, it points to *.mktoweb.com.  So on the pure web side, you don't "leak" your primary LP domain to the lead.

The real problem is that AFAIK you still can't have different branding domains.  Tracked links in emails will all be written to a single domain, so there you should the domain of your an umbrella organization, if you have one.  I know there is a plan to change this, but I don't know where it is on the roadmap.

That is great to hear on the email side as brands need to be separated (visually at least)

but on the LP side that is an issue, perhaps we can use unbounce to create the landing pages and have the urls created from their end.

Thank you.
