Frequently Asked Questions

What are UTM parameters used for?

UTM parameters are tags appended to URLs that tell Google Analytics (and other analytics tools) exactly where your traffic came from — which campaign, channel and source. They are essential for measuring the ROI of marketing campaigns.

Are the Term and Content fields required?

No. Source, Medium and Campaign Name are the three required fields. Term is used for paid search to track which keywords triggered the ad. Content is used to distinguish between multiple ads or links in the same campaign (e.g. A/B test variants).

Should I use UTM links on my own website's internal links?

No. Using UTM parameters on internal links can overwrite the original traffic source in Analytics, making your data inaccurate. UTMs are for external links only.

How many UTM parameters do I need?

At minimum use utm_source and utm_medium. Add utm_campaign for campaign-level reporting. utm_term and utm_content are optional and used for deeper analysis.

Are UTM parameters case-sensitive?

Yes! "Facebook" and "facebook" appear as separate sources in Google Analytics. Establish a naming convention (all lowercase is recommended) and stick to it.
