UTM Parameters

Definition

URL parameters that label the source, medium and campaign of a marketing visit.

How it works

UTM parameters label campaign and channel information, but consistent tagging conventions are needed for reliable reports. Marketing attribution links traffic sources to telephone enquiries. Results depend on reliable identifiers, attribution windows and accurate conversion recording.

Business example

An email campaign uses UTM-tagged links so analytics can attribute visits to the correct promotion.

What to consider

Distinguish attribution from proven causation. Account for consent, incomplete customer journeys and calls without a known marketing source.
