Naming pattern

Lowercase and consistent wins.

Prefer short shared terms such as newsletter, email, and spring-launch. Avoid changing between spaces, underscores, and hyphens for the same campaign.

Quick answers

Does this shorten the URL?

No. It returns the complete destination URL so you can inspect every parameter before using it.

Are all five fields required?

No. Source, medium, and campaign are recommended for useful reporting; term and content are optional.

Where is my URL stored?

Minitaska does not store the form or generated URL. The tool assembles it in the current browser session.

UTM parameters: tracking where your visitors come from

UTM parameters are short tags added to a link, such as ?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email, that tell your analytics tool where a visit came from. Without them, a click from your newsletter, a QR code on a flyer or a post in a chat app often shows up as direct traffic, and you cannot tell which campaign worked.

Enter the page address and the campaign details, and this builder assembles a clean, correctly encoded link that keeps any existing query string and #anchor in place.

How to use it

  1. Paste the address of the page people should land on.
  2. Fill in source, medium and campaign; term and content are optional.
  3. Check the generated campaign URL and copy it.
  4. Use a separate link for every place you share it, so each one can be measured.

Example: a newsletter link to a page with a query and an anchor

Input
https://example.com/pricing?plan=pro#faq
source: newsletter, medium: email, campaign: spring sale
Output
https://example.com/pricing?plan=pro&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spring+sale#faq

The existing plan=pro stays, the UTM tags are added after it, the space in spring sale is encoded, and #faq stays at the end where it belongs.

The five parameters

utm_source names the site or sender, such as google, newsletter or linkedin. utm_medium names the channel type, such as email, cpc for paid search, or social. utm_campaign names the campaign, such as spring-sale. utm_term records a paid keyword, and utm_content tells apart two links in the same campaign, such as header-button and footer-link.

Google Analytics 4 uses source, medium and campaign to sort traffic into its default channel groups, so using its standard medium values, email, social, cpc, referral, puts visits in the right group automatically.

Keep your naming consistent

Analytics tools treat Email, email and e-mail as three different values, which splits one channel into fragments. Agree on lowercase names and a short list of allowed values, and write them down. A spreadsheet of every campaign link you create makes reports far easier to read later.

Where not to use UTM tags

Do not add UTM parameters to links between pages of your own site. A tagged internal link starts a new session in many analytics setups and overwrites the real source of the visit. Use them only on links that bring people in from outside: emails, ads, social posts, QR codes, partner sites.

Questions

Do UTM parameters affect SEO?

Not when used on external campaign links. Search engines consolidate tagged addresses with the canonical page, especially when the page declares a canonical URL.

Can visitors see the tags?

Yes, they are part of the visible URL. Never put personal data such as email addresses into UTM values.

Is my link sent anywhere?

No. The URL is built in your browser and nothing is requested.
