FAQs

What are UTM parameters?

UTM links / parameters are small pieces of data that you add to your URLs in order to see where different traffic comes from. They were introduced with an analytics tool called Urchin, which was later bought by Google and evolved into Google Analytics. UTM stands for Urchin Tracking Module.

What parameters can I include in a UTM code?

UTM codes can contain up to 8 parameters: Campaign, source, medium, content, term, source platform, creative format, and marketing tactic. These parameters help you track exactly where your website traffic is coming from.

What benefits can I get from using UTM parameters?

UTM parameters provide better tracking and more accurate attribution of your website traffic. They allow you to see which marketing tactics are actually driving results, and which sources, mediums, and campaigns are bringing in the most traffic, leads, and sales.

How do UTM parameters affect my Google Analytics reports?

If a URL doesn’t have UTM parameters, Google looks at the referring URL and matches it against a list of hundreds of websites it believes are social networks. If there’s a match, the visit is attributed to social traffic. If a URL does have UTM parameters and utm_medium is either social, social-network, social-media, sm, social network, or social media, then the visit is also attributed to social traffic.

Will tagging URLs with UTM parameters affect the search rankings of my website?

No, UTM parameters will not affect search rankings of your website in any way. Google and other search engines know that UTM parameters are used for tracking and they ignore them when crawling websites.

No, it’s not recommended to use UTM parameters for internal linking. If you do, you risk losing the information about the original source of the visitor. Instead, you can use your analytics tool to track your visitor’s activities.

What is the best naming convention for UTM parameters?

  • Standardization and Consistency (It is important to standardize the way you name your UTM parameters and remain consistent across all campaigns and platforms)
  • Clear and Descriptive Naming (The names of your UTM parameters should be clear, descriptive, and meaningful)
  • Use of Lowercase (Always use lowercase for UTM parameters as these are case sensitive)

What is the UTM Source parameter?
