What are UTM Parameters?
UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) parameters are five specific query tags attached to a URL that allow web analytics software (such as Google Analytics 4, Mixpanel, and Adobe Analytics) to track where website visitors originate and which marketing campaigns drove conversions.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UTM campaign URL?
A UTM URL contains query tags (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) appended to a web address so analytics platforms like Google Analytics 4 can attribute traffic to specific ads and marketing channels.
What is the difference between utm_source and utm_medium?
utm_source identifies where traffic originated (e.g. google, facebook, newsletter), while utm_medium identifies the marketing channel type (e.g. cpc, email, social, affiliate).
Do UTM parameters affect SEO rankings?
No. Search engines like Google ignore UTM parameters when evaluating content relevance. Websites should use rel="canonical" tags to ensure duplicate query strings do not cause indexing issues.

Yes! KLIC allows you to transform long 200-character UTM URLs into clean branded shortlinks (e.g. klic.in/sale) while preserving 100% of the underlying UTM parameters for Google Analytics.
