Have you ever wished you could change your account URL on Calaméo from numbers to something a little more, well… you? Something that includes the name of your business, so readers always know whose publications they’re browsing? Starting now, you can!
We are pleased to announce that custom account URLs are now available on our platform.
There are many valuable reasons to change your account URL on Calaméo. First, seeing your company name in the site address will reassure readers that your Calaméo account is official. Second, it will work with your company logo in the publication viewer to reinforce the link between your content and business. And lastly, along with a strong account page, it may contribute to improving your visibility online.
How it works is simple. All users with an active PLATINUM plan are eligible to choose a custom account URL. Just go to the Account info section of your Settings and click the blue “Customize Your Account URL” button. Then follow the instructions to select your new URL!
But be careful: you can only change your account URL on Calaméo once. Make sure you’re entering the name you want and double-check for typos before you finalize your choice.

Publishing a document online is good. Turning it into a real conversion tool is even better. With Calaméo, your catalogs, brochures, magazines, or presentations can become interactive assets capable of generating leads, boosting sales, and strengthening customer loyalty. In this blog post, discover step by step how to turn your publications into high-performing conversion tools.
Add forms to capture leads
The first step to transforming your publications into conversion tools is to create a direct point of contact with your readers. And nothing works better for that than an embedded form.
Add your form directly in your publication using the Calaméo Editor.
Goal: Collect qualified leads directly from your content without sending visitors to an external page.
Track performance with Calaméo stats
Monitoring your content’s performance is essential. Calaméo provides detailed insights into how your readers interact with your publications.
Key metrics to watch:
Views: Measure your publication’s reach.
Average reading time: Identify the pages that engage readers the most.
Interactions: Track clicks on forms, links, and videos.
Tip: You can also link your Calaméo account with Google Analytics 4 or Matomo using our integrations. (PLATINUM users only)
Add impactful calls-to-action (and even shopping links!)
A strong call-to-action (CTA) guides your readers to the next step: sign up, buy, download, or contact you. With Calaméo, you can go further by embedding your product links directly.
Add a Shopify link via our integration (PLATINUM users): → Link to a Shopify product page → Link to a cart page or special offer → Trackable shopping link to monitor clicks
Imagine a snowboard catalog: when a reader clicks “Buy Now” they’re taken straight to the Shopify checkout page. Reading instantly becomes a seamless shopping experience.
Optimize your publication for conversion
To truly drive conversions, your publication should be designed as a smooth, enjoyable experience. Here are some tips:
Focus on design and readability: Clean layouts and high-quality visuals make content easier to read.
Simplify the journey: Avoid links that open too many tabs or take readers out of context.
Test and adjust: Try different positions for forms or CTAs and monitor results with your stats.
Bonus: Combine your publications with your website
Did you know you can embed your Calaméo publications directly on your website and even create a digital library with our Calaméo library widget? This is a great way to centralize your catalogs, brochures, and magazines while keeping all their interactive features. Visitors can browse, interact, and convert without ever leaving your site.
