Frequently Asked Questions

What are UTM parameters?

UTM parameters are tags you add to URLs to track the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. They help you identify which sources, mediums, and campaigns drive the most traffic and conversions in Google Analytics.

Do UTM parameters affect SEO?

No, UTM parameters don't negatively impact SEO. Search engines treat URLs with UTM parameters the same as the original URL. However, use canonical tags if you're concerned about duplicate content.

Can I use UTM parameters for internal links?

It's not recommended to use UTM parameters for internal links as they can reset session data in Google Analytics and create inaccurate reporting. Use event tracking instead for internal link monitoring.

How do I view UTM data in Google Analytics?

In Google Analytics, go to Acquisition > Campaigns > All Campaigns to see your UTM campaign data. You can also check Source/Medium reports under Acquisition > All Traffic.

Are UTM parameters case sensitive?

Yes, UTM parameters are case sensitive. "Facebook" and "facebook" will be treated as different sources. It's best practice to use lowercase letters consistently.

How long should UTM parameters be?

Keep UTM parameters concise but descriptive. Very long URLs can be truncated in some platforms and may look unprofessional. Use URL shorteners for social media if needed.
