Welcome to Effeect Agency’s UTM Builder Tool page!

Take control of your marketing campaign tracking with our easy-to-use UTM Builder.

What Is a UTM Code?

A UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) code is a simple snippet of text you can add to the end of a URL to track the performance of marketing campaigns across traffic sources. UTM codes work with analytics tools like Google Analytics to show you exactly where your visitors are coming from, which ads are driving the most traffic, and which channels are converting the best.

UTM codes contain specific parameters such as:

  • Source: Where the traffic is coming from (e.g., Google, Facebook, Newsletter).
  • Medium: The marketing medium used (e.g., email, CPC, social).
  • Campaign: The name of your marketing campaign (e.g., Summer Sale, Holiday Promo).
  • Content: Additional details to differentiate ads or links (optional).
  • Term: Keywords used in paid search campaigns (optional).
