This UTM builder adds small tags to a link that tell Google Analytics where a visitor came from. Make one link for your WhatsApp broadcast, another for your Instagram bio, and see exactly which channel brings visits and sales. Check the share card first with the Open Graph preview, and keep URLs tidy with the URL slug generator.
How to use the UTM builder
- Paste the address of the page you want people to visit.
- Tap where you will share it (WhatsApp, Instagram, email…), or type a source and medium.
- Name the campaign, for example diwali_sale_2026.
- Copy the finished UTM link and share it, or turn it into a short link or QR code.
Tips for best results
- Agree on names with your team and keep them lowercase. “WhatsApp” and “whatsapp” show as two different sources in Analytics; this tool lowercases values for you.
- Use utm_content to compare two versions of the same post, for example banner_a and banner_b.
- Don't add UTM tags to links within your own website. They restart the visit's source and spoil your data.
- Long UTM links look messy in posts. Shorten them, or put them behind a button.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I see UTM results in Google Analytics 4?
Open Reports → Acquisition → Traffic acquisition and change the dimension to Session source / medium or Session campaign. Data appears within a day.
Which fields are required?
Source (where: whatsapp, instagram), medium (what kind: social, email, cpc) and campaign (why: diwali_sale). Term and content are optional, for paid keywords and for telling versions apart.
Do UTM tags affect SEO?
No, as long as you use them only for links shared outside your site. Pages should have a canonical tag so search engines ignore the tagged versions.
Can I track WhatsApp forwards?
Yes. Every visit from that link counts under your WhatsApp source, including from forwarded messages, because the tags travel with the link.
What if my page address already has a ? in it?
The tool keeps your existing parameters and adds the UTM tags correctly, replacing any old UTM values.
