What are UTM Parameters?
Understanding the building blocks of campaign tracking

UTM parameters are special tags you add to your URLs to track the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns. When someone clicks a link with UTM parameters, theBizness.ai automatically captures and attributes their actions to the specific campaign.

utm_source

Where the traffic comes from (google, facebook, newsletter)

utm_medium

The marketing medium (email, social, cpc, banner)

utm_campaign

The specific campaign name (summer_sale, product_launch)

utm_term

Keywords for paid search (optional)

utm_content

Specific content or ad variation (optional)

Auto-Tracked

No coding required - works automatically!

Technical Implementation
UTM tracking works automatically, but here's how to enhance it with custom events
Automatic Tracking

UTM parameters are automatically captured and associated with all page views and events. No additional code required!

Optional: Custom Event Tracking

While UTM tracking is automatic, you can enhance it with custom events:

// Basic UTM tracking (automatic with theBizness script)
// No additional code needed - UTM parameters are automatically captured

// Custom event tracking with UTM context
function trackConversion(eventName, value) {
  if (window.bizness) {
    window.bizness.track(eventName, {
      value: value,
      // UTM parameters are automatically included
    });
  }
}

// Example usage
trackConversion('purchase', 99.99);
trackConversion('signup', null);
