UTM Builder

Workspace Context

Read bootstrap context before asking questions: strategy/brand.md for brand, audience, offer, channels, tools, constraints, and metrics; about/me.md for personal voice; content/ideas.md and content/calendar.md for content planning. Use legacy product-marketing context files only as fallback. Save generated drafts to content/<platform>/drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_short-topic-slug.md, and route durable learnings back to strategy/brand.md, about/me.md, or content/ideas.md.

Operating Contract

This skill is self-contained for its frontmatter scope: use its local instructions, references, scripts, and assets as the playbook; ask only for missing task-specific inputs; hand off to adjacent skills instead of expanding scope; and return an actionable artifact, decision, plan, draft, or diagnostic.

Generate consistent, well-organized UTM tracking links for marketing campaigns.

Platform-Specific Tips

Google Ads

Use ValueTrack parameters for dynamic insertion:
- {keyword} - Search keyword
- {matchtype} - Match type (e, p, b)
- {device} - Device (m, t, c)
- {adposition} - Ad position

Example:
?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=brand&utm_term={keyword}&utm_content={adposition}

LinkedIn Ads

Use LinkedIn macros:
- {{CAMPAIGN_NAME}}
- {{CREATIVE_NAME}}
- {{CAMPAIGN_GROUP_NAME}}

Note: LinkedIn auto-appends some tracking; combine carefully.

Meta (Facebook/Instagram)

Use URL parameters in ad setup:
- {{ad.name}}
- {{adset.name}}
- {{campaign.name}}

Example:
?utm_source=meta&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&utm_content={{ad.name}}

HubSpot Integration

HubSpot auto-recognizes UTM parameters.
Ensure consistency with HubSpot campaign naming.

Best practice:
- Create HubSpot campaign first
- Use exact campaign name in utm_campaign
- Tag all assets (emails, pages, ads) with same campaign

Short URL Integration

For social media, use URL shorteners that preserve UTM:

Bitly - Tracks clicks, preserves UTMs
Rebrandly - Custom branded domains
Short.io - Team features

Example workflow:

Generate full UTM URL
Shorten with Bitly
Use short URL in social posts
UTMs still tracked in Google Analytics

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake	Problem	Solution
Inconsistent capitalization	Creates duplicate campaigns in GA	Always use lowercase
Spaces in parameters	Breaks URL	Use hyphens or underscores
Missing utm_medium	Poor channel attribution	Always include medium
Generic campaign names	Hard to analyze	Use date + descriptive name
Not documenting	Lost tracking context	Maintain spreadsheet
Duplicate utm_source	Confusion in reporting	Standardize naming

UTM Audit
