Using the Google Analytics UTM Tag Builder

What are UTM tags?

UTM tags are a Google Analytics feature that allows you to tag the source of a visitor, so you later analyze just visitors that come from that advertising source. While Google Analytics is a powerful tool, there are other options available. If you're interested, you can read about a Google Analytics alternative in our blog.

UTM tags work by adding parameters (such as utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign to an URL:

https://example.com?utm_source=news4&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spring-summer

Linkly & UTM Tags

Linkly can automatically add Google Analytics UTM tags to your link destinations. This allows you to track campaigns and users in Google Analytics. By using Linkly's UTM builder, you can ensure consistent and accurate tagging across all your campaigns, which is crucial for reliable data analysis.

For example, if you're running a summer promotion across email and social media, you can create links with specific UTM tags for each channel. This will allow you to see exactly how much traffic and how many conversions each channel is driving.

  1. This is just for your reference; users won't see this.

  2. This is where all traffic will go that doesn’t meet a certain country target.
