A UTM code (or parameter) is a simple code that you can attach to a custom URL to track a source, medium, and campaign name. This enables Google Analytics to tell you where searchers came from as well as what campaign directed them to you. You can also add this into a marketing automation platform to track your campaigns.

UTM codes allow you to measure your success for marketing tactics.
