BUILD URL

What is the Google Url builder?

How you can use it in your campaign?

Let's imagine that you've just started a promotion campaign and it turns out to be a success (or a disaster). The problem is you've no idea why it turned out to be so great (or so disastrous).

You need to know which channel directed the most traffic to your website. You might think that once you have your Google Analytics account setup on your website, all data will be there, but it won’t give you the detailed campaign information.

Fortunately, there is Google URL builder, a tool by SeoChecker made for develpers who like to know more and optimize campaigns.

UTM parameters are unique tags that are added to your URL in the Google URL builder.

When users click on one of your custom links, these unique parameters are sent to your Analytics account so you can identify the URLs that are most effective in attracting users to your content.

How to find custom campaign in Google Analytics?

In Google Analytics 4, open Reports Acquisition Traffic acquisition and use dimensions such as Session source/medium and Session campaign.

For consistent attribution, Google recommends setting at least utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_id and utm_source_platform. Do not use UTMs on internal links.

Your link before

https://www.yoururl.com
Analytics data collection:
  1. (Other)
  2. Organic Search
  3. Direct
  4. Referral
  5. Email

Your link with Google URL Builder

https://www.yoururl.com?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&... https://www.yoururl.com?utm_source=google&...
Analytics data collection:
  1. blog.post.it / link
  2. seochecker.it / link
  3. yoururl.com / banner
  4. ADS - Facebook / promo
  5. Summer sale

Remeber: don't use URL builder for internal linking otherwise Google Analytics will overwrite the original internal data.

Google Analytics is case sensitive, so don't duplicate UTM parameters in uppercase or lowercase. Use always the same namespace.

For Google Ads, keep auto-tagging enabled whenever possible: GA4 prioritizes auto-tagging data. The ValueTrack preset enriches manual parameters; it does not replace Google's generated click identifier.
