CTA overlays

Put your message in front of every click. Attach a branded banner to any short link; visitors see your headline, message, and call-to-action button on a fast interstitial, then continue to the destination. A Growth+ feature.

Unlike frame-based tools, LinkLane never loads the destination inside an iframe — so your overlay works on every site (no X-Frame-Options / CSP breakage) and carries no risk of overlaying someone else's content.

What you can set​

FieldNotes
HeadlineUp to 120 chars. The big line.
MessageUp to 400 chars of supporting copy. Optional.
Button text + URLOptional CTA button. Opens your link in a new tab.
Themecandy, mint, yellow, or ink.
Auto-continue0–30 seconds. 0 = visitor continues manually.

You need at least a headline or a message — a blank banner never ships.

How it works​

  1. Edit a link → superpowers → CTA overlay banner, fill in your copy.
  2. When a visitor opens the link, LinkLane serves a branded page with your banner and a clear Continue to site → control.
  3. If you set an auto-continue countdown, the page forwards automatically when it reaches zero; otherwise the visitor clicks through.

Works with retargeting​

If the link also has retargeting pixels, they fire on the same overlay page — so a single click both shows your message and adds the visitor to your ad audiences.

Performance​

  • The overlay page is noindex and uncached, and only added to links that have an overlay configured.
  • Links without an overlay keep the instant server-side 302 — no speed cost.
  • A <noscript> fallback redirects immediately for visitors without JavaScript.

Good for​

  • Promos and lead magnets ("Grab my free guide").
  • Launch announcements before sending people to a third-party page.
  • Sponsorship / affiliate disclosure with a branded look.
