Best practices for QR codes on websites
1. Link it up
When it comes to using QR codes on websites, you have supreme flexibility. That’s because each dynamic QR code comes with a short URL, which you can edit. These short URLs are what connect the code to the content and they can be used without the code for digital platforms, like social media posts or in apps.
This means that on your website you can choose to either use the QR code or the short URL associated with it, whichever would work better in the situation. Or, you can even use both.
2. Optimize your website
QR codes on websites are ideal for saving steps in various processes. For example, if you have an app you want visitors to download, the App Store QR code automatically detects a phone’s operating system and opens the appropriate app store. iOS users go to the Apple App Store and Android Users go to the Google Play Store.
Give your website’s contact page a lift with a vCard QR code that automatically puts your contact information right into the person’s phone.
3. Record your success
Our QR codes on websites tell you when they were scanned, where they were scanned and how many new and total scans they’ve received, along with the type of device and operating system used to scan them. That’s a lot of info! Even better, that information is available to download in reports that you can share with your team. Have a look at the numbers, see what’s working and where you need to make adjustments and then brainstorm with your team about how to make those adjustments.
