UTM and referrer tracking

< 1 min read

Opti-Behavior records referrers and UTM campaign parameters so you can attribute traffic to sources and campaigns. This article covers both.

Referrers #

The Referrers widget on WP Admin ? Opti-Behavior ? Dashboard lists the external sites that sent visitors, with counts for the selected range.

UTM parameters #

When a link includes UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content), Opti-Behavior captures them and attributes the session to that campaign.

  1. Tag your campaign links with UTM parameters.
  2. Drive traffic to the tagged URLs.
  3. Review attributed sessions in the dashboard source reporting.

Expected result #

Campaign visits are grouped by source and campaign instead of appearing as direct or unknown traffic.

FAQ #

Which UTM fields are supported? #

The five standard UTM parameters are captured.

Are UTM values personal data? #

No, they describe the campaign, not the person.
