Build UTM links. Track everything.
Add UTM parameters to any URL in seconds. Measure exactly which campaigns, channels, and content pieces drive traffic. No more guessing in Google Analytics.
Why UTM tracking matters
Without UTM parameters, Google Analytics groups traffic into buckets like "direct" or "referral" giving you almost no insight into which campaigns actually drove conversions. UTM tags unlock source-level granularity: you'll know that your Tuesday email drove 340 conversions, while your Instagram story drove 12.
Consistent UTM tagging is the foundation of any attribution model. Pair it with short links to keep your URLs shareable and add retargeting pixels to turn every click into an ad audience.

What are UTM parameters?+
UTM parameters are tags you add to a URL so that analytics tools like Google Analytics can tell you where traffic came from. The five standard parameters are utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, and utm_term.
Do UTM parameters affect SEO?+
UTM parameters are stripped by Google Analytics before they affect search ranking, but you should set a canonical URL on landing pages to avoid duplicate content issues if URLs with UTM parameters get indexed.
What's the difference between utm_source and utm_medium?+
utm_source identifies who sent the traffic (e.g. 'newsletter', 'facebook', 'google'). utm_medium describes the marketing channel (e.g. 'email', 'cpc', 'social'). Together they tell you both the origin and the type of traffic.
Should I shorten UTM URLs?+
Yes. Long UTM-tagged URLs look messy in social posts, emails, and print. Use the LinkSqueeze shortener to wrap them in a clean short link — all UTM data still passes through to your analytics.
Are UTM parameters case-sensitive?+
Yes — Google Analytics treats 'Email' and 'email' as different values. Establish a naming convention (lowercase is standard) and stick to it across your team.
