TRACKING NOTE:
Compare conversion rates in Google Analytics:
Acquisition → Traffic Acquisition → Filter by utm_content

Platform-Specific Tips

Use ValueTrack parameters for dynamic insertion:
- {keyword} - Search keyword
- {matchtype} - Match type (e, p, b)
- {device} - Device (m, t, c)
- {adposition} - Ad position

Example:
?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=brand&utm_term={keyword}&utm_content={adposition}

LinkedIn Ads

Use LinkedIn macros:
- {{CAMPAIGN_NAME}}
- {{CREATIVE_NAME}}
- {{CAMPAIGN_GROUP_NAME}}

Note: LinkedIn auto-appends some tracking; combine carefully.

Meta (Facebook/Instagram)

Use URL parameters in ad setup:
- {{ad.name}}
- {{adset.name}}
- {{campaign.name}}

Example:
?utm_source=meta&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&utm_content={{ad.name}}

HubSpot Integration

HubSpot auto-recognizes UTM parameters.
Ensure consistency with HubSpot campaign naming.

Best practice:
- Create HubSpot campaign first
- Use exact campaign name in utm_campaign
- Tag all assets (emails, pages, ads) with same campaign

Short URL Integration

For social media, use URL shorteners that preserve UTM:

  • Bitly - Tracks clicks, preserves UTMs
  • Rebrandly - Custom branded domains
  • Short.io - Team features

Example workflow:

  • Generate full UTM URL
  • Shorten with Bitly
  • Use short URL in social posts
  • UTMs still tracked in Google Analytics

Common Mistakes to Avoid

| Mistake | Problem | Solution |

|---------|---------|----------|

| Inconsistent capitalization | Creates duplicate campaigns in GA | Always use lowercase |

| Spaces in parameters | Breaks URL | Use hyphens or underscores |

| Missing utm_medium | Poor channel attribution | Always include medium |

| Generic campaign names | Hard to analyze | Use date + descriptive name |

| Not documenting | Lost tracking context | Maintain spreadsheet |

| Duplicate utm_source | Confusion in reporting | Standardize naming |

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take nicepkg/utm-builder from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
