One landing page may have five or six different ads linking to it, along with an email campaign, and it’s important for Google to differentiate all of these avenues to improve your campaign data using a tracking link.

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.

There are things to keep track of when creating multiple UTM tags, such as: (e.g.

  • Starts with a "?"
  • Each parameter is separated with an "&"
  • Make sure you don’t have the original URL twice
  • Everything should be lowercase
  • Correctly choosing "http" and "https"
