In the overview of theUTM campaign feature we present you a quick look at all the most important data of your campaigns. There will soon be a version in which you will be able to drag and drop the tiles in order to arrange them just as you wish. 

Important Note Upfront: 

URL Campaigns or UTM-parameters are NOT set up WITHIN the application itself. They are just automatically recognized by the app everytime a visitor uses a UTM-Link that you have set up and embedded elsewhere.


The displayed results are split up based upon your self-defined components like "utm_source", "utm_medium", "utm_term", etc. and presented to you.

The Campaign feature is separated into 4 sections:

  1. Create Your Own UTM Links
  2. Overview
  3. Campaign Visitors
  4. My UTM-Campaigns
  5. Campaigns' Charts

Just above this view you see a bar which enables you to choose a certain time period or even a day for which the data below should correspond to. It is important to constrain the displayment of data to certain dates or periods in which you ran potential campaigns or took other measures in order to measure how successful these actions were for future planning. 

Within the campaigns feature of the statistics module, you will find everything you need to know about your UTM-campaigns referring to your website.

 

  • For some tiles, you may have the option "See more". Try it. You will be forwarded to a view that shows you even more data.
  • Almost all tiles contain options to hover information. Just let your cursor run over various elements and discover how much data is actually packed into a tile.
  • Almost all tiles have a little "i-icon" in the upper right corner, giving you yet more information about the tile. Just move your cursor there and you will see more information.
  • A campaign visitor is only counted as such, if he has visited your website via a URL containing utm-parameters set by you.
  • If you see a label "[NOT PROVIDED]" somewhere in these views, this means that you have not added this utm-parameter to the corresponding utm-campaign being presented.

How to Build a UTM-Campaign That Will be Recognized by the Platform

To assist you with this, we have written a dedicated article.

If you want to know what UTM parameters are, please click here.

 

Note Upfront: Don't forget to read the general hints about the overview tiles and how to build UTM-campaigns!

The "Overview" gives you a good summary of all important KPIs of your UTM-campaigns. It is divided into the tiles below:

 

Here you see a quick peek of your total amount of campaign visitors summed up (hint:not the unique visitors) in your selected time range.

Definition: A definition for vistors can be found  here.

On the horizontal x-axis you will always have the time being shown. Notice that the scale changes everytime you update the time period in the selector above the tiles. The labeling should be self-explanatory. 

The vertical y-axis shows you the amount of visitors. The scale is adapted automatically based on your website's performance. You will see two data-lines:

  1. A white data-line: This shows you the the amount of visitors for the selected period in time
  2. A dark data-line: This shows you the amount of visitors in the previous 4 weeks.

 

This tile shows you the different sources of your campaign visitors that have been identified by the application. These "sources" ("utm_source") are part of your self-defined UTM campaigns that you have created specifically for this purpose. You should therefore only see the terms you have defined for the "utm_source" parameter.

Definition: A definition of UTM-parameters which you can add yourself to your UTM-campaigns, like "utm_sources" can be found here.

The data is displayed in the form of a pie chart. For clarity, only a few labels are displayed from the beginning - as you may have noticed, these labels mark your best placed media from the beginning. Of course, you can also move your mouse over any part of the pie chart to see more details. This gives you a good overview of which campaigns need to be improved with certain "utm_source" parameters and which ones will bring the most visitors to your website.

 

This tile shows you the different media of your campaign visitors that were recognized by the application. These "media" ("utm_medium") are part of your self-defined UTM campaigns that you have created specifically for this purpose. You should therefore only see the terms you have defined for the "utm_medium" parameter yourself.

For clarity, only a few labels are displayed from the beginning - as you may have noticed, these labels mark your best placed media from the beginning. Of course, you can also move your mouse over any part of the pie chart to see more details. This way you have a good overview of which campaigns need to be improved with certain "utm_medium" parameters and which ones will bring the most visitors to your website.

 

Here you see a list of your top 6 campaign terms (="utm_term") that were regonized by the application – based on the amount of visitors with the listed utm-components

This helps you to understand which campaigns with a certain "utm_term" parameter, that you have defined yourself, worked best and attracted most of visitors to your website. You also see which campaigns, containing the certain names for the parameter "utm_term" did not work very well and need improvment.

Every line represents one name you have given to the parameter "utm_term" of your campaigns. Per "utm_term" you see the following information:

  1. The name of "utm term" which you have added to a campaign
  2. How many visitors were "forwarded" by the campaigns containing that "utm term"
  3. Pie chart indicating how much of your overall campaign traffic is forwarded by campaigns containing a certain "utm_term". (Hint: the percentages of all pies do not necessarily have to sum up to 100%, as there might be other "utm term" that were used within your campaigns but are not listed in the top 6)

 

This tile lists your top 6 performing campaigns (="utm_campaign") that were regonized by the application – based on the amount of visitors with the listed utm-components

This helps you to understand which campaigns with a certain "utm_campaign" parameter, that you have defined yourself, worked best and attracted most of visitors to your website. You also see which campaigns, containing the certain names for the parameter "utm_campaign" did not work very well and need improvment.

Every line represents one name you have given to the parameter "utm_campaign" of your campaigns. Per "utm_campaign" you see the following information:

  1. The name of "utm campaign" which you have added to a campaign
  2. How many visitors were "forwarded" by the campaigns containing that "utm campaign"
  3. Pie chart indicating how much of your overall campaigns' traffic is forwarded by campaigns containing a certain "utm_campaign" (hint: the percentages of all pies do not necessarily have to sum up to 100%, as there might be other "utm campaigns" that were used within your campaigns but are not listed in the top 6)

 

At this point you are being presented the different campaign contents of your campaigns' visitors, which were detected by the application. These "campaign contents" ("utm_content") are a component of your self-defined UTM-campaigns, which you added yourself.

Definition: A definition of UTM-parameters which you can add yourself to your UTM-campaigns, like "utm_content" can be found here.

The data is presented to you in form of a pie chart. In order to increase clarity, only a few labels are shown right from the start – as you might have noticed these labels mark your best ranked sources right from the beginning. Of course, you can hover each part of the pie-chart in order to see more details. This gives you a good overview of which utm-content campaigns might need some improvement and which utm-content campaigns of your website attract most of your campaigns' visitors.

 

Here you find a list of your 6 latest campaign visitors

Each line (alternating in white and grey colour) represents a visit and contains the following information:

  1. Country of origin (indicated by the flag and written out)
  2. Device (mobile, tablet or pc) used (indicated by the screen icon)
  3. Type of visitor:
    1. New visitor: This visitor has not visited your website before
    2. Returning visitor: This visitor has visited your website before
    3. Conversion visitor: This visitor has visited a page you defined as conversion page during his visit. Could be both a new or returning visitor.
  4. Component "utm_campaign" that was contained by campaign which lead to the visit (located directly on the right side of the type of visitor)
  5. Component "utm_term" that was contained by campaign which lead to the visit (located above the time when the visit took place)
  6. When the visit took place

Important Note: If you want to have more information about your latest campaign visitors, please click on "See more" in the bottom part of the tile.

 

This map will give you an overview of the distribution of your website campaigns' visitors on a global level. 

There are different levels of coloring per country. The darker the green colour is, the more campaign visitors are originating from that country. 

If you move your cursor across a country, you will see the exact amount of campaign visits that have been coming from this country in the selected period of time at the top of the view.

You have an option to "Zoom in" in the upper area of the tile. Click it and a rectangle will appear. Place the rectangle over the world map and click in order to zoom into that region. Now it will be easier for you to navigate. If you want to zoom out again, please click on the button "Zoom out" which has replaced the option "Zoom in" in the upper area of the tile.

In the lower left corner of the tile you will find a little icon, which upon click opens a list of your top visiting countries. This list is closed by default. You can close the list by simply clicking on the icon again.

Important Note: The "see more" button in the lower part of the tile, will lead you to a map which gives you an even more detailedoverview of your visitors' origins (city based even).

  9. History: Once you hover a specific line in the table, on the very right side of it, you will see another link appearing - See history. Clicking on this link will lead you to a new view which allows you even more insight about this user and his user journey on your website.

Important Hints:

  • Don't forget that you have the possibility to define the time range which this view should correspond to in the bar right above the table itself.
  • At the end of the table you can define how many visitors should be shown in the table at once and whether you want to jump to the next page showing you even more visitors of your website.

 

Here you see the most important data of your automatically tracked UTM campaigns based on the utm-parameter "utm_campaign" of each UTM campaign itself. Each row of the table presents a campaign name (using your self-defined utm-parameter "utm_campaign". The table helps you to immediately identify how your utm campaigns are performing.

The table is made of the following columns:

  1. Campaign Name: The parameter "utm_campaign" (which was defined by yourself) which has been contained within the campaign that this campaigns' visitor used to visit your website. 
  2. Total Visitors: The amount of total visitors that visited your website via a link containing the parameter "utm_campaign = name of the campaign of this row".
  3. Source: The parameter "utm_source" (which was defined by yourself) which has been contained within the campaign listed in this row.
  4. Medium: The parameter "utm_medium" (which was defined by yourself) which has been contained within the campaign listed in this row.
  5. Term: The parameter "utm_term" (which was defined by yourself) which has been contained within the campaign listed in this row.

Important Hints:

  • Don't forget that you have the possibility to define the time range which this view should correspond to in the bar right above the table itself.
  • At the end of the table you can define how many visitors should be shown in the table at once and whether you want to jump to the „next page“ showing you even more visitors of your website.

 

Some Hints Upfront:

  • All charts display the amount of visitors on the vertical y-axis. The scale is always calculated automatically for you.
  • The bars within the charts have different colours, that refer to the elements listed on the very right side of each chart. This should be self-explanatory. Do not oversee the label "See more" at the very end of the listed elements on the right side of the chart. It exist if there are too many elements existing to be listed at once. The link opens another modal showing you all elements represented colourwise in the chart.
  • The displayed charts depend on your selected time range in the top bar. 
  • All bars unveal more information, if you hover them with your cursor. Try it.
