Breakdown of each UTM parameter

Campaign (utm_campaign):
- Purpose: Indicates which marketing campaign directed users to your site.
- Examples: spring_sale, holiday_promo
- Use: Allows you to compare traffic from specific campaigns and measure their success.
-
Content (utm_content):
- Purpose: Differentiates between multiple links to the same page within a single campaign.
- Examples: header_link, footer_ad
- Use: Useful for testing which link placement or ad version drives more engagement.
-
Term (utm_term):
- Purpose: Tracks keywords associated with paid search campaigns.
- Examples: running_shoes, skin_care
- Use: Helps identify search terms that generate traffic, especially for paid ads.
Things to Remember!
The Search channel in Rubii operates uniquely, as it automatically uses platform campaign names as traffic sources for the connected GA4 property.
If a campaign includes two placements, and both placements are linked to platform campaigns with the same name, this can lead to conflicts. Since the traffic source in GA4 is based on the campaign name, it will appear identical for both placements.
To resolve this, you can only map the GA4 property to one of these two placements, not both.
