UTM Tracking

UTM Tracking

UTM parameters are simple text-codes attached to any URL to track data about website visitors and traffic sources. The data can be filtered out in the Google Analytics tool by specifying the source, medium, and campaign name for any UTM embedded link you generate. This will help Google Analytics let you know more about the origin of the clicks, and the campaigns that direct the clicks to your website.
 
By setting UTM tracking on Zoho Social you can,
1. Track the performance of your social marketing campaign links.
