Free UTM builder FAQ

What is a UTM link?

A UTM link is a regular destination URL with campaign parameters added to it. Analytics tools use those parameters to identify where traffic came from and which campaign generated the visit.

Which UTM parameters are required?

For useful reporting, use utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign on every campaign URL. Term, content and the advanced GA4 parameters are optional.

Does adding UTM parameters change my destination?

No. The page, path, existing query parameters and fragment remain the same. The builder only adds or updates campaign parameters.

Are UTM values case-sensitive?

Analytics tools can treat facebook, Facebook and FACEBOOK as separate values. Use lowercase names and one consistent convention wherever possible.

Can I use these links with Google Analytics 4?

Yes. The builder includes the standard campaign parameters used by GA4 plus optional campaign ID, source platform, creative format and marketing tactic fields.

Can I shorten the generated UTM URL?

Yes. Choose Shorten with LinkDirect and the completed URL will be moved into the free smart URL shortener, where Turnstile and the free usage limit apply.
