UTM Builder
Generate custom tracking links with UTM parameters.
What Is a UTM Builder?
When running marketing campaigns, you need to know exactly where your website traffic is coming from. The Geekflare UTM Builder helps you generate custom, trackable URLs by adding Urchin Tracking Module (UTM) parameters to your links.
When users click your generated link, these parameters send detailed source data directly to Google Analytics or other analytics platforms, showing you which campaigns are driving the most conversions.
Why Marketers Use This Tool
- Accurate Attribution: Instead of seeing all your traffic grouped together as Direct or Social, you can pinpoint the exact post, email, or ad that brought a visitor to your site.
- A/B Testing: By using the Campaign Content field, you can compare two different versions of an email or landing page button to see which one performs better.
- No Manual Typos: Writing UTM links by hand often leads to formatting mistakes like misplaced question marks or ampersands, which can break your tracking.
UTM Parameters
| Parameter | Purpose | Example |

Naming Tips
- Keep naming consistent across teams and campaigns.
- Use lowercase values when possible.
- Avoid spaces if your analytics workflow prefers underscore or hyphen naming.
- Use
utm_contentto distinguish buttons, banners, ads, or placements inside the same campaign. - Do not put private customer or internal data in public campaign URLs.
