Understand Lead Sources and UTM Tags

Lead source and UTM values help attribute a visit or inquiry to a channel, campaign, or link when those values were present.

Where to find it: Admin → Analytics and the contact record

What to do

  1. Use consistent UTM source, medium, and campaign values on marketing links.
  2. Open the contact or journey and find the first-touch and available conversion context.
  3. Compare the values with the campaign and page used.
  4. Keep naming consistent across future links.

Good to know

  • Direct visits, privacy controls, link forwarding, and repeat visits can leave attribution incomplete.
  • UTM tags describe the link; they do not independently prove the channel caused the conversion.
