Digital Marketing

Digital marketing articles focused on measurement, how to use UTM parameters and organize campaigns so every visit reaches your reports with the right source.

Digital marketing you can measure

Launching a campaign is the easy part. The hard part is knowing afterwards what it brought in. A social post, an e-mail to your customer list or a partnership with another site can all drive visits, but they only show up correctly in reports if the links are set up for it.

The articles in this category cover the practical side of measurement in digital marketing. The focus isn't on teaching you to build ads, but on making sure every action leaves a clear trail in your data, so you can compare channels and decide what to repeat.

What you'll find

The starting point is UTM parameters, the simplest way to tell your analytics tool where each click came from. We explain what each parameter means, how to create a naming convention the whole team can follow and which mistakes make a single campaign spread across several rows of a report.

We also talk about organizing your calendar of actions so the results of one campaign don't blend with another's, which makes the end-of-month review much easier.

Who it's for

For marketers, social media managers, business owners who handle their own promotion and agencies that need to present results to clients. No technical knowledge is required, just attention to detail when building links.

A tip to get started

Create a simple spreadsheet with the UTM values you use and keep the exact same spelling across every campaign. When you launch an action, write down the date and its goal. In WEBPilot, that record lives next to the website, in its history of applied strategies.
