For newsletter writers

Your newsletter posts deserve a URL you control.

Substack delivers the email. Anchorify holds the canonical URL. When you move platforms, your links move with you.

What changes when each post has its own canonical URL

→

Link equity stays with you

Inbound links from other sites, citations in AI answers, bookmarks in reader browsers: all point to your domain, not Substack's or Beehiiv's.

#

Platform switches become painless

Swap the email delivery platform any time. The canonical URLs for individual posts do not change because they live on Anchorify, not on the platform.

↑

Update at the same URL

Run anchorify post.md again to push a revision. Corrections, updated stats, revised sections: readers who bookmarked the link see the latest version.

FAQ

Can I run this alongside Substack?
Yes. This is the designed use case, not a migration. You keep Substack for email delivery and subscriber management. Anchorify holds the canonical URL for posts you want to own long-term. Write the post, publish it to Anchorify, set the Substack canonical to the Anchorify URL. Subscribers read the email as usual. Google indexes Anchorify as the original.
How does this affect SEO?
When the canonical URL on your Substack post points to an Anchorify URL, Google treats Anchorify as the original and attributes link equity to that URL. If you later move to Ghost or Beehiiv, your Anchorify URLs are unaffected. The SEO equity you built does not disappear when you change email platforms.
What about email delivery?
Anchorify does not send email. Pair it with whichever platform you use: Substack, Beehiiv, Ghost, ConvertKit, or Mailchimp. The platform delivers to inboxes; Anchorify holds the canonical URL for web readers and search engines.
Can I import my Substack archive?
There is no automated Substack archive importer yet. You can publish past posts manually: export a post from Substack, convert to markdown, and run anchorify past-post.md --slug past-post-slug. For new posts, publish to Anchorify first and set the canonical before the Substack post is indexed.
