How to Use the UTM Builder

    • Campaign Name (required): Your specific campaign identifier (e.g., summer_sale_2024)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a UTM code and why do I need it?

    UTM codes are tracking parameters added to your URLs that help you monitor where your website traffic comes from. They're essential for measuring the success of your marketing campaigns across different channels like social media, email, and advertising. When someone clicks a link with UTM parameters, this data is sent to your analytics tools, giving you precise insights into which marketing efforts are driving the most traffic and conversions.

  • How do I track print marketing with QR codes?

    Our tool automatically generates a QR code for your UTM-tagged URL, making it easy to track offline marketing materials. Simply create your UTM link, and we'll generate a corresponding QR code that you can download and use in your print materials, business cards, or physical advertisements. When someone scans the QR code, they'll be directed to your website through the UTM-tagged link, allowing you to track which print materials are generating the most engagement.

  • Can I make mistakes with UTM tracking?

    Yes, common mistakes include inconsistent naming conventions, using spaces instead of underscores or hyphens, and mixing upper and lowercase letters. Our UTM builder prevents these errors by automatically formatting your parameters correctly and providing clear guidelines. We also maintain a history of your UTM codes, ensuring consistency across your campaigns and team members.

  • How do I organize multiple UTM codes for different campaigns?

    Our tool includes a campaign management feature that helps you organize and track all your UTM codes. You can create campaign groups, save frequently used parameters, and export your UTM history for team sharing. This makes it easy to maintain consistent naming conventions and track multiple campaigns across different channels simultaneously.

  • Will UTM parameters affect my SEO or link appearance?

    UTM parameters don't affect your SEO or how links appear to users. While the UTM-tagged URLs might look long, you can use our built-in link shortener to create clean, professional-looking links that still maintain all tracking capabilities. For social media and other platforms where link appearance matters, we automatically generate shortened versions of your UTM-tagged URLs.

  • How do I share UTM links with my team?

    Our tool includes team collaboration features that allow you to share UTM links, QR codes, and campaign tracking information with team members. You can export your UTM history in various formats, set up shared campaign templates, and maintain consistent naming conventions across your organization. This ensures everyone on your team uses the same tracking parameters for accurate campaign measurement.
