What's in a link: 5 UTM parameters recognized in Google Analytics

1. Campaign Source (utm_source): Use this parameter to identify the source of your traffic. This could be a website name, search engine, newsletter name, or social network. Example: utm_source=google
2. Campaign Medium (utm_medium): Use this parameter to identify the medium used to share and access your link. This could be email, social, cost per click (cpc), or another method. Example: utm_medium=cpc
3. Campaign Name (utm_campaign): Use this parameter to identify a campaign or promotion tied to your link. This could be a product name, backlinking for SEO, sales promotion, etc. Example: utm_campaign=free+video+course
4. Campaign Term (utm_term): Use this parameter for paid search campaigns to track relevant ad-based keywords. This helps you identify which keyword(s) resulted in a site visit. Example: utm_term=marketing-agencies
5. Campaign Content (utm_content): Use this parameter to determine what someone clicked on to get to your site when there are multiple links pointing to the same URL, such as in an email or on a landing page with multiple CTAs. This parameter is also used to distinguish between ads pointing to the same URL. It is commonly used for A/B testing and content-targeted ads. Example: utm_content=cta-bottom

Then, when you’re looking at Google Analytics, Google Data Studio, or any others, you can see exactly where each visitor came from. And I mean exactly.

You can see exactly which link, in which email, in which campaign. You can get as specific as you want!
