UTM Campaigns Feature

All About Your UTM Campaigns in 5 Sections

In the overview of the UTM Campaigns feature, we present you with a quick look at all the most important data from your campaigns. There will soon be a version in which you will be able to drag and drop the tiles in order to arrange them just as you wish.

Important Note: URL Campaigns or UTM parameters are NOT set up WITHIN the application itself. They are just automatically recognized by the app everytime a visitor uses a UTM Link that you have set up and embedded elsewhere.

View your UTM campaign data organized by the custom filters you set (e.g., "utm_source", "utm_medium", "utm_term"). This lets you focus on the insights that matter most to you.

The UTM Campaigns feature is divided into 5 sections:

  1. Overview
  2. All UTM Campaign Visitors
  3. My UTM Campaigns
  4. Campaign Charts
  5. UTM URL Builder

 

Right above the tiles, you can see a date picker. This enables you to select a certain time period or specific day to which you want the dashboard's data to correspond. 

It is crucial to limit the presentation of data to specific dates or timeframes during which you executed potential campaigns or implemented other strategies. This will allow you to assess the effectiveness of these actions and use the insights gained for future planning.

Important Notes: The app now remembers previously set segments, filters, filter templates, and date intervals, even when you navigate away from the page, log out, or log back in. When your session expires or you close the tab, it automatically switches back to the default setting of "Last 30 Days."

 

  • Tooltips now display the abbreviated day of the week wherever dates are available. This will help you identify trends and analyze website traffic in relation to the days of the week.
  • For some tiles, you may have the option "View More"(specific wording will depend on the tile you are viewing). For the example shown in the image above, it is "View Traffic Map". Selecting this button redirects you to a specific module with greater detail breakdown. Why not give it a try?
  • Almost all tiles contain additional information if you hover over them. Just let your cursor run over various elements and discover how much data is actually packed into a tile. The tooltip will also show a description of the tile and links to both the Glossary and Support Center, which will give you more information.
  • A campaign visitor is only counted as such if he has visited your website via a URL containing the UTM parameters that you set.
  • If you see a label "Not Providedsomewhere in these views, this means that you have not added this UTM parameter to the corresponding UTM campaign being presented.

The Overview section provides a concise summary of all crucial KPIs for your UTM campaigns. It is organized into the following report blocks:

  1. Campaigns' Visitors
  2. Top Performing UTM Campaigns
  3. Top UTM Term Parameter 
  4. Top UTM Source Parameter
  5. Top UTM Mediums Parameter
  6. Top UTM Content Parameter
  7. Last 6 UTM Campaign Visitors
  8. Visitors via UTM campaigns by Country

These report blocks offer valuable insights into your campaign performance, helping you make informed decisions and optimize your strategies.

 

On this report block, you will see a quick overview of the total number of your campaigns' visitors (hint:not the unique visitors) based on the selected time range.

On the horizontal x-axis, you will always have the dates shown. Notice that the scale changes every time you update the time period in the date picker above the report block. 

The vertical y-axis shows the number of visitors. The scale is adapted automatically based on your website's performance.

Important Hints:

  • This report block is totally dependent on the selected date range.
  • The chart displays two lines: the dark purple line that represents the number of visitors for the selected time frame, and another line with a lighter shade that shows the data for the preceding period.
  • Simply hover your mouse over any point on the graph to reveal more information. You'll see a comparison of the selected date's data with the corresponding data from the previous period. The comparison will also be defined as  – colored in green or red – percentages, depending on the increase or decrease of data.
  • To view all the UTM campaign visitors, simply click on the View More button located at the bottom of the report block. This will take you to the All UTM Campaign Visitors tab, which will show a more detailed view of your UTM campaigns visitors.

This report block displays a table view of your top performing campaigns’ "campaign parameter" (utm_campaign) that were recognized by the application – based on the amount of visitors with the listed UTM parameters.

You can use our simple UTM campaign builder tool to create a URL with UTM parameters. So once a visitor visits one of your websites' pages via a link containing a UTM parameter, the app will automatically notice this and generate statistics.

This helps you to understand which campaigns with a certain "utm_campaign" parameter worked best and attracted most of visitors to your website or which campaigns did not work well and need improvement.

Each line represents one registered UTM campaign name. Alongside each campaign name, you'll see:

  1. Total Visitors: The number of visitors that were "forwarded" by the campaigns containing that parameter.
  2. Percentage: This number shows what portion of your website traffic came from that specific campaign.
  3. Donut Chart: This visual aid provides a clear picture of how much traffic that campaign contributes compared to all your other campaigns.

In the world of digital marketing and website analytics, understanding the sources of your website traffic and the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns is crucial for making informed decisions and optimizing your online presence. We'll explore three essential metrics that shed light on your website's traffic and campaign performance over a specified time frame.

On this tab, you'll find three different charts that were generated based on different UTM parameters and right above, you’ll find the option to select the time range that you want the data to correspond to. The options are: Last 7 days, Last 12 months and Last years. Note that the charts are always dependent on the selected time range.

Let’s take a closer look at the charts generated for the “Last 7 days” time period:

  1. Organic traffic vs traffic from UTM Campaigns by weekdays: This shows you the comparison of how many of your visitors were generated by organic traffic and how many were generated by your recognized UTM Campaigns. It helps you to see whether your UTM campaigns had an impact on the traffic of your website and on which of the past 7 days the campaigns were of highest effect.

     
  2. Number of Visitors per UTM_Source by weekdays: Here you see will see how your campaigns' traffic is split up by the sources where your campaigns' visitors actually came from. This does not have anything to do with your organic traffic. It just lists you the sources of your campaigns' traffic over the past 7 days. With this information you can improve the effectiveness of your UTM campaigns.

     
  3. Number of Visitors per UTM_Campaign (Name) by weekdays: This chart shows you the number of visitors to your website based on your UTM campaigns’ names(utm_name). This gives you an insight which of your UTM campaigns bring about the most benefit to your website's traffic based on the past 7 days. Analyze the well working UTM campaigns and why they are so successful. Then adapt the learnings to your UTM campaigns, which are not performing as well.

The second chart will provide you the following information about your UTM Campaigns for the past 12 months:

  1. Organic traffic vs traffic from UTM Campaigns by month: This shows you how many of your visitors (based on the selected timeframe) were generated by organic traffic and how many came from your recognized UTM campaigns. It helps you to see whether your UTM campaigns had an impact on the website traffic and during which months the campaigns were of the highest effect.

     
  2. The number of Visitors per UTM_Source by month: This chart focuses on visitors who arrived at your website through your UTM campaigns only within the selected timeframe. It breaks down these visitors by source, so you can see which websites or platforms (like social media or email) sent the most visitors to your site through your campaigns. Try different platforms or adjust campaigns on specific sources to see what works best. This data helps you make your marketing campaigns even more effective!

     
  3. Number of Visitors per UTM_Campaign (Name) by month: This chart reveals which of your marketing campaigns (identified by the utm_campaign parameter) generated the most website traffic over the past 12 months (based on the selected timeframe). Analyze the well-working UTM campaigns and why they are so successful. Then adapt the learnings to your UTM campaigns that need to be optimized.

You may also select a specific year to view from the furthest box on the right as shown here. You may select any year going back to 2018.

Let’s take a closer look at the charts generated for the “Last year(s)” time period:

Organic traffic vs traffic from UTM Campaigns by month: This shows you the comparison of how many of your visitors were generated by organic traffic and how many came from your recognized UTM Campaigns. It helps you to see whether your UTM campaigns had an impact on the traffic of your website and on which month(s) of the selected year the campaigns were of highest effect.

     
  2. Number of Visitors per UTM_Source by month: This chart focuses on visitors who arrived at your website through your UTM campaigns only within the selected timeframe.It breaks down these visitors by source over the selected year so you can analyze which sources sent the most visitors to your site. With this information you can improve the effectiveness of your UTM campaigns.
