Build trackable campaign URLs with UTM parameters.
Built locally in your browser.
What is a UTM Builder and how do you use it?
A UTM Builder adds tracking parameters to a URL so analytics can attribute traffic to the right campaign, source and medium. Each value is URL-encoded and appended as utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content. For example, a newsletter link becomes “…?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spring_sale”. Keep naming consistent so reports group correctly.
Understanding your result
Keep naming consistent (lowercase, no spaces) so reports group correctly.
Formula and method
Each value is URL-encoded and appended as utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content query parameters.
Assumptions and limitations
The tool builds the tagged URL from the values you enter; it does not collect or report analytics itself, and inconsistent naming across your team will still split reports. UTM parameters make links longer and are visible to anyone who sees the URL. Encoding happens in your browser, and you paste the result where needed.
Worked example
A newsletter email link becomes “…?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spring_sale”.
How to use this tool
- Enter the destination URL.
- Fill in source, medium and campaign.
- Copy the trackable URL.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using inconsistent capitalisation, which splits one campaign into several rows.

Frequently asked questions
Which parameters are required?
Source, medium and campaign are the core three; term and content are optional.
Why should I keep UTM names lowercase and consistent?
Analytics tools treat parameter values as case-sensitive text, so Email and email register as two different mediums and split your reports. Sticking to lowercase with no spaces, and agreeing a naming convention across your team, keeps related traffic grouped together and your campaign data clean.
Do UTM parameters slow down or harm my page?
No. UTM parameters are simply extra values in the query string that analytics reads; they do not affect how the page loads or functions. They do make the link longer and visible in the address bar, so they suit tracked marketing links rather than tidy public URLs.
