How to Build a UTM Campaign Link

Use UTM parameters to identify traffic sources in analytics without changing the destination page.

1 min readUpdated Aug 27, 2026

UTM parameters are query values added to a URL so analytics software can identify where a visit came from. Common fields include source, medium and campaign.

Use consistent names

Choose a simple naming convention before creating many links. For example, use consistent lowercase values for a source such as youtube instead of mixing several spellings.

Keep the destination URL valid

The TheTecTricks UTM Builder starts with your normal destination and adds only the UTM values you provide. Test the final link before placing it in a campaign.

Do not put secrets in URLs

Query parameters may appear in browser history, analytics and logs. Never place passwords or confidential credentials inside campaign parameters.
