Frequently asked questions

What is a UTM link?

A UTM link is a normal URL with extra tags added to the end (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and others). Google Analytics reads those tags so you can see which channel, campaign, or post sent each visitor, rather than lumping it all under direct or referral traffic.

Is the UTM Link Builder free?

Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign up, and runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server.

Which UTM parameters do I actually need?

Source, medium, and campaign are the three that matter most and should be on every link. Term and content are optional and mostly useful for paid search and A/B testing.

Why does casing matter in UTM tags?

Google Analytics treats utm values as case-sensitive, so Facebook and facebook show up as two different sources and split your reports. This tool lowercases and hyphenates your values by default so everything stays consistent.

Do UTM tags work with links I shorten?

Yes. Build the tagged URL here first, then run it through your link shortener. The UTM tags travel with the link when it redirects.
