Google Ads & Dynamic Variables
Dynamic variables are URL criteria that have the ability to change their value, allowing you to add data to your ads' landing page URLs. By collecting the data for the variable (source) of your ad clicks, they allow you to customize your landing page based on specific criteria. (e.g. {adposition} The position on the page where your ad appeared [page 1 or 2] etc.) See examples of the different variables.
Fixing errors during UTM parameter generation
Confusing "Medium" and "Source" Parameters
It’s important to know the difference. The "Medium" is the how, while the "Source" is the where.
Be Descriptive in the "Campaign Parameters"
Too many people will keep their campaigns generic, like email #4. This will not help you down the line when you are looking over your analytics wondering which email blast #4 was.
Common Errors
Make sure not to modify the generated URL on your own. Make all of your modifications within the builder.
