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.
