What are UTM Parameters?
UTM parameters definition: UTM parameters are extensions of URLs that enable marketers to track the source of traffic to a webpage.
UTM parameters work like “tags” on a URL. When a URL containing a parameter is visited, it communicates the visit to an associated analytics tool.
These UTM parameters come in five forms:
- Source: where the traffic came from
- Medium: the campaign the traffic came from (eg. Facebook ad)
- Name: the in-house name of a campaign
- Term: the keywords searched to find the URL
- Content: the piece of content that drove the traffic
UTM parameters are helpful for content marketers trying to understand their most effective or profitable types of traffic.
