Build Cleaner UTM Links for Downstream Measurement
Add consistent campaign parameters before shortening a destination, then use the resulting link wherever you need a cleaner path to your analytics platform.
- UTM Parameters
- Short Tagged URLs
- Consistent Naming
- Downstream Reporting
Create tagged destinations that remain easy to share
UTM parameters label a destination with values such as source, medium, campaign, term, and content. The s.id link workflow can add those parameters before shortening the resulting destination, which helps teams replace long tagged URLs with a cleaner shareable link.
The current s.id analytics dashboard does not group or visualize performance by UTM value. Review UTM campaign reports in the destination analytics platform, such as the analytics installed on your website. s.id can separately report its available link activity and plan-dependent audience breakdowns.
Start With the Signal, Then Add the Context
Add source, medium, campaign, term, and content parameters
Shorten long tagged destinations for easier sharing
Keep naming conventions consistent across campaign links
Review UTM reporting in the destination analytics platform
How It Works
- 1
Define a naming convention
Agree on lowercase source, medium, and campaign values before several people begin creating links.
- 2
Add parameters to the destination
Build the complete tagged URL and confirm that it still resolves to the intended page.
- 3
Create the short link
Shorten the tagged destination and choose a recognizable alias that does not expose the long query string.
- 4
Verify both reporting surfaces
Check s.id for recorded link activity and the destination analytics platform for UTM campaign reporting.
Keep campaign parameters analysis-ready
Consistent values matter more than creating a large number of tags that nobody can interpret later.
Avoid spelling variants
Choose one value such as newsletter instead of mixing newsletter, email-newsletter, and Newsletter.
Do not put sensitive data in parameters
UTM values are visible in the destination URL and should not contain personal or confidential information.
Test the final redirect
Confirm the parameters survive the short-link redirect and appear in the destination analytics request.
Frequently Asked Questions about s.id Analytics
No. The current link analytics dashboard does not provide automatic UTM grouping or campaign reports. Use the analytics platform on the destination for those reports.
