Tips for YouTube

  • Keep campaign names lowercase and consistent so analytics groups them correctly.
  • Shorten the final UTM URL with a link shortener before pasting into YouTube.

Frequently asked questions

What UTM parameters should I use for YouTube?

Use utm_source=youtube, utm_medium=social, and a descriptive utm_campaign. This tool fills them in and builds the full URL for you.

Will UTM tags work in YouTube links?

Yes. YouTube passes the full URL through, so your analytics tool records the source, medium, and campaign when someone clicks.
