UTM Audit

Updated on

Dec 16, 2024

Description

The UTM Audit recipe provides you with information about the types and quality of UTMs used in the customer data (only in Google Ads and Facebook). This information will help determine the feasibility of using UTMs to join with web analytics systems.

The final report contains a breakdown by the advertiser, campaign, ad set, destination URL, and quality of UTMs calculated on top of the destination URL.

This report also contained paid ads metrics such as spend, impressions, conversions, clicks, etc.

  2. Extract UTM parameters from destination_url:
  • ~utm_source
  • ~utm_medium
  • ~utm_campaign
  • ~utm_content
  1. UTM parameters type classification:
  • ~define
  • ~auto define
  • ~short URL (f.e. bit.ly)
  • ~destination URL is empty
  1. UTM quality classification:
  • ~Good (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign and utm_content is define or auto define)
  • ~Medium (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign is define or auto define)
  • ~Bad (any other case)
  1. Calculate the sum of all metrics across all dimensions and properties + utm parameter types and utm quality
