How to Track Campaign Performance Using UTM Parameters in Releasit
UTM tracking is a useful method to understand where your traffic is coming from and how well your marketing campaigns are performing. In this guide, you’ll learn what UTMs are, how to add them to your ads, and how to track and view them inside the Releasit app.
What Are UTM Parameters?
UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) parameters are tags added to the end of a URL. These parameters help you identify the source, medium, and campaign associated with a specific link.
Example URL with UTMs:
`https://www.example.com/product?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=summer_sale
`
-
utm_source=facebook
→ where the traffic is coming from -
utm_medium=social
→ the type of traffic (e.g. social, email, cpc) -
utm_campaign=summer_sale
→ the name of the campaign
When used consistently, UTMs make it easier to see which platforms and ads are generating orders.
