UTM Builder (Campaign URL Generator)
Build UTM tracking URLs for Google Analytics — add utm_source, medium, campaign, term and content with validation, presets and one-click copy.
About the UTM Builder (Campaign URL Generator)
This free UTM builder creates properly formatted campaign tracking URLs for Google Analytics and every other analytics platform that reads UTM parameters. Enter your landing page URL, fill in utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign (the three required parameters), optionally add utm_term and utm_content, and the final tagged URL is assembled live with correct encoding.
Values are URL-encoded automatically, so spaces and special characters never break your links, and existing query strings on the destination URL are preserved — the UTM parameters are appended correctly with & instead of a second ?. Presets fill source and medium for the most common channels in one click: google/cpc, facebook/social, newsletter/email and more.
Marketers use UTM links on ads, emails, social posts and QR codes so every visit in Analytics is attributed to the exact campaign, channel and creative that produced it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are UTM parameters?
UTM parameters are five standard query-string tags — utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content — added to a URL so analytics tools can attribute the visit. When someone clicks a tagged link, Google Analytics records where the click came from (source), the channel type (medium) and the campaign name, letting you compare exactly which marketing efforts drive traffic and conversions.
What is the difference between utm_source and utm_medium?
utm_source names the specific site or platform sending the traffic — google, facebook, newsletter, partner-site. utm_medium names the channel type — cpc for paid search, social, email, banner, qr. Together they read like "traffic from google via cpc". A useful test: source answers "who sent it?", medium answers "what kind of link was it?".
Do UTM parameters affect SEO or page ranking?
Not directly — UTM parameters do not change page content, and Google treats the tagged URL as the same page. The one risk is duplicate-content dilution if tagged URLs get indexed, which a canonical tag pointing to the clean URL prevents. Never use UTM links for internal navigation on your own site, though: they overwrite the visitor's original attribution in Analytics.
Should UTM values be lowercase?
Yes, as a convention. UTM values are case-sensitive in analytics reports, so "Facebook", "facebook" and "FACEBOOK" show up as three separate sources and fragment your data. Sticking to lowercase, with hyphens or underscores instead of spaces, keeps reports clean. Agree on a naming convention with your team before launching campaigns.
What are utm_term and utm_content used for?
utm_term traditionally holds the paid search keyword that triggered the ad, useful in manual Google Ads tagging. utm_content differentiates versions of the same campaign — two banner designs, a text link versus a button, or top versus bottom placement in an email. If two links in one email point to the same page, giving each a different utm_content tells you which one got clicked.
