UTM tracking in GoTrace: an example account for yoursite.com
From an example account. The Campaigns report: sessions, visitors, engagement, conversions and conversion rate for each UTM campaign.
01 Features

What is captured

All five UTM tags

utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content are read from the landing URL.

Campaign and medium reports

Switch the Campaigns report between campaign and medium, each compared with the previous period.

Correct channels

Tags decide the channel: utm_medium=email lands in Email, cpc in Paid search, social in Social.

Paid clicks detected

Clicks with gclid or msclkid are counted as paid search even without UTM tags.

Clean URLs

Only the query parameters you allow are kept on page URLs; everything else is dropped.

Conversions per campaign

See which campaigns produce signups and sales, not just clicks.

02 In practice

Tagging a link

01

Add the tags

For example: yoursite.com/pricing?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=october

02

Share the link

Use it in your email, post or ad. Visits are attributed automatically.

03

Compare campaigns

Open Traffic → Campaigns to compare sessions and conversion rates.

03 Privacy

Measured, not watched.

UTM values are kept as campaign data. Other query parameters, which often contain tokens or personal data, are stripped unless you allow them.

What the tracker collects

04 Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which UTM parameters are required?

utm_source is the most important. Adding utm_medium and utm_campaign gives you the medium and campaign reports.

Are UTM tags case-sensitive?

Treat them as case-sensitive: "Newsletter" and "newsletter" can be reported separately, so pick one style and stick to it.

Do UTM tags work with AI assistants?

Some assistants add their own tag, such as utm_source=chatgpt.com, which we use to place the visit in the AI channel.
