🚀 Workflow: Use UTM Tags for Campaign Tracking

If you’ve ever wondered how marketers know exactly where traffic comes from — whether from Instagram, emails, or paid ads — the answer is UTM tags.

In this AI Computer Classes, Indore tutorial, you’ll learn how to create and track UTM tags step-by-step using real-world workflows.

💡 What Are UTM Tags?

UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) tags are small snippets of text added to URLs to help marketers track where visitors come from.

Example URL:

https://aicomputerclasses.com?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=summer_offer

Each parameter helps you identify campaign performance in tools like Google Analytics or GA4.

🧩 Why UTM Tags Matter for Digital Marketing

✅ Identify which marketing channels drive conversions

✅ Compare performance of ads, emails, or posts

✅ Optimize campaigns with data-driven insights

✅ Improve ROI with precise tracking

💬 In short, UTM tags turn your campaigns into measurable data.

🧭 Step-by-Step Workflow: Create and Track UTM Tags

Let’s go through the full workflow you’ll practice in class.

🧠 Step 1: Define Your Campaign

Before you build your UTM links, decide:

• What campaign are you tracking? (e.g., Diwali Offer 2025)
• Which channels are used? (Facebook, Instagram, Email, etc.)
• What is your main conversion goal? (Signup, Purchase, or Visit)

💡 Pro Tip: Keep names short, lowercase, and consistent.

Example naming format:

utm_campaign=diwali_offer_2025
utm_source=instagram
utm_medium=social

🧰 Step 2: Use Google’s Campaign URL Builder

Visit Google Campaign URL Builder.

1. Enter your website URL.
2. Fill in UTM fields:

• Campaign Source: instagram
• Campaign Medium: social
• Campaign Name: diwali_offer_2025

1. Copy the generated link.

Example Output:

https://aicomputerclasses.com?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=diwali_offer_2025

💬 Paste this link in your social media post or ad.

📊 Step 3: Shorten the UTM Link

UTM URLs can look long and messy.

Use tools like:

• Bitly
• TinyURL
• Rebrandly

Short link example:

https://bit.ly/diwali_offer2025

💡 Short links improve click-through rates — especially on Instagram bios or WhatsApp.

🧩 Step 4: Share Links Across Platforms

Use the tagged link in:

• Facebook or Instagram ads
• Email newsletters
• WhatsApp campaigns
• Blog call-to-actions

Make sure each platform has unique UTM parameters so tracking is easy.

Example:

PlatformSourceMediumCampaignInstagraminstagramsocialdiwali_offer_2025Emailnewsletteremaildiwali_offer_2025Google Adsgooglecpcdiwali_offer_2025

📈 Step 5: Track Data in Google Analytics (GA4)

1. Log in to Google Analytics 4.
2. Go to Reports → Acquisition → Traffic Acquisition.
3. Set “Session source/medium” or “Campaign” as the dimension.

Now you can clearly see where traffic and conversions are coming from.

💡 You’ll learn this tracking setup practically in class — no coding required.

🧠 Pro Tips from AI Computer Classes, Indore

💬 Keep a UTM Template Sheet:

Use Excel or Google Sheets to store campaign data — consistent naming saves time.

🧩 Avoid Capital Letters:

Analytics treats “Facebook” and “facebook” as two different sources.

📈 Use Dynamic Tags in Ads:

In Google Ads, you can add {campaignid} or {keyword} automatically.

🧮 Visualize in Power BI:

Import your UTM data into Power BI for campaign dashboards.
