Guide & Usage Details

What the UTM Generator Does

The UTM Generator helps you create URLs with UTM parameters to track traffic sources and measure the performance of marketing campaigns.

The tool helps you:

  • create properly formatted UTM URLs

  • tag marketing campaigns

  • track traffic sources

  • analyze marketing performance

  • avoid mistakes when creating UTM parameters manually

Suitable for marketing, SEO, analytics, email campaigns, social media marketing, paid advertising, and web analytics.

What Are UTM Parameters?

UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) parameters are special query parameters added to a URL that allow analytics platforms to identify the source of incoming traffic.

For example:

https://example.com/product?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=summer_sale

When a user visits the page, the analytics platform stores these parameters and associates them with the user's session.

Main UTM Parameters

Three parameters are considered essential for almost any campaign.

Parameter

Purpose

Example

utm_source

Traffic source

google, tiktok, newsletter

utm_medium

Marketing channel

cpc, email, social, banner

utm_campaign

Campaign name

summer_sale, black_friday

utm_content

Ad or link variation

banner_blue, button_top

utm_term

Keyword

buy+shoes

For most campaigns, filling in utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign is sufficient. Use utm_content and utm_term only when more detailed tracking is needed. Maintain a consistent naming convention throughout your project—for example, use only lowercase letters with underscores (summer_sale) or hyphens (summer-sale). Avoid mixing different naming styles within the same project.

Common Mistakes

Mistake

Consequence

Using different spellings for the same source (TikTok vs. tiktok)

Duplicate data in analytics reports

Using spaces or inconsistent letter casing

Inconsistent reporting

Omitting required parameters

Loss of traffic source information

Using different names for the same campaign

Incorrect aggregation of campaign statistics

Adding UTM parameters to internal website links

Distorted web analytics data

Do not use UTM parameters for internal links between pages on the same website. Doing so can overwrite the current session's traffic source and distort your analytics data.

Practical Recommendations

  • Use consistent naming conventions for all UTM parameters.

  • Enter all parameter values in lowercase.

  • Avoid spaces and special characters in campaign names.

  • Create a company-wide reference for approved source and medium values.

  • Test generated URLs before publishing them.

UTM parameters do not directly affect SEO or search engine rankings. They are used solely for tracking traffic sources and measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

UTM tags allow you to track exactly where a user came from to the site — from which campaign, channel, or source. This is necessary for analyzing marketing effectiveness.

The UTM tag generator allows you to create a URL with special parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, etc.) that help track traffic sources in web analytics systems (Google Analytics and others).

It is minimally recommended to specify utm_source and utm_medium. The parameters utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content are optional, but useful for more precise analysis.

Yes, UTM tags work with all links that lead to your website. Even if the transition occurs from an email, messenger, or offline QR code — data will be recorded if the opening occurs in a browser. And for contextual advertising, the use of tags is standard practice.

After generating a link, you can click on it and see if the parameters are passed in the address bar. You can also check visits in Google Analytics by traffic sources.

UTM tags do not have a direct negative impact on SEO, as search engines ignore them for indexing purposes. However, incorrect site settings can lead to duplicate content; don't forget to specify canonical tags.

Using UTM tags for internal links is possible, but not a good practice. This can distort your analytics data, creating the impression that traffic is coming from an external campaign. To track internal links, use behavior reports in Google Analytics, implement click events, or create your own GET parameters.

There is no strict limit on value length, but very long URLs with many tags can be less convenient and even cause problems in some outdated systems. Ideally, use only the parameters necessary for your analysis.
