Tag your linkswith UTM parameters
Turn on UTM tagging so Google Analytics and other tools count visits from your Hiyaly page as social traffic, with each link named.
1 min readUpdated
When someone taps a link on your page and lands on your website, your analytics tool needs to know where they came from. UTM parameters are small tags added to the end of a link that tell it. Hiyaly can add them for you.
Turn it on
- In the editor, go to Settings › Integrations › UTM parameters.
- Switch on Tag traffic as social.
The tags are added to the links on your live page. The links you see in the editor stay as you typed them.
What gets added
Each outgoing link, like your link buttons and your header button, gets three tags:
| Tag | Value |
|---|---|
| utm_source | hiyaly |
| utm_medium | social |
| utm_campaign | The link's title, in lowercase with hyphens |
So a link called "Summer Sale" sends people to your site with utm_source=hiyaly, utm_medium=social and utm_campaign=summer-sale. In Google Analytics, these visits show up as social traffic, and you can see which link each visitor tapped.
Links that are left alone
- A link that already has any utm_ tag keeps its own. If you've tagged a link by hand, we don't touch it.
- Email and phone links, like mailto: and tel:, aren't changed.
Tracking where your own visitors come from
This setting tags the links leaving your page. To see what sends people to your page in the first place, check Sources on the Analytics page.
