Take Your Tracking & Analytics To The Next Level Using Campaign URL Builder

Source: Google

The rise of mobile devices and new digital technologies has resulted in customer journeys that are more varied than ever. Businesses are gaining a deeper understanding of today’s non-linear and fast-paced customer journey, and they’re using this knowledge to deliver relevant, personalized experiences.

measurement capabilities in Analytics can offer a clear and specific understanding of campaign performance.

The idea is to use Google’s URL builders to generate custom campaign parameters for your advertising URLs:

You can add parameters (such as utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign) to a URL to capture reporting data about the referring campaign. For example, the following link would allow you to identify the traffic to example.com that came from a particular email newsletter, as part of a particular campaign:

https://example.com?utm_source=news4&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spring-summer

You can create your URLs by hand or you can use a URL generator. There are three generators. Be sure to use the correct URL generator because the URLs to websites, the Google Play Store, and the Apple App Store are each a little different from each other.
