What Are UTM Parameters?

A 30-second explanation, then a worked example for a CV link.

A UTM parameter is just a label tacked onto the end of a URL after a ?. When someone clicks the URL, the label gets sent to whichever analytics tool is watching the destination page. There are five standard labels:

  • utm_source — where the link lives. linkedin, github, email-signature.
  • utm_medium — the type of channel. social, profile-link, email.
  • utm_campaign — the job hunt or season. spring-2026-search, internal-transfer.
  • utm_term — optional, mostly for paid keyword tracking.
  • utm_content — optional, useful for A/B testing different placements.

Concrete example: pasting https://cvpoet.com/@maya?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=profile-link&utm_campaign=spring-2026-search in your LinkedIn bio tells your analytics that every click came from your LinkedIn profile during the spring search — separate from the same link in your email signature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about UTM parameters, Google Analytics 4, and CV link tracking.

What are UTM parameters and why use them on a CV link?
UTM tags are short tracking labels appended to a URL (e.g. ?utm_source=linkedin). When a recruiter clicks a tagged link, the labels show up in your analytics so you can tell which channel actually drove the visit. For CVPoet, the five parameters are utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, and utm_content.
Which parameters should I actually use?
For most CV-link tracking you only need three: utm_source (where the link lives — e.g. linkedin, github, email-signature), utm_medium (the channel type — e.g. social, profile-link, email), and utm_campaign (the job hunt — e.g. spring-2026-search). utm_term and utm_content are optional for A/B testing different placements.
Are UTM parameters case-sensitive?
Yes. Google Analytics 4 treats LinkedIn and linkedin as two completely different sources. Always use lowercase for every UTM value so your data doesn't fragment.
Will UTM parameters affect SEO?
Not directly. They don't change your ranking. But search engines could index UTM-tagged URLs and create duplicate-content issues — so only use UTM tags on external links pointing TO your CV (LinkedIn bio, email signature, application form), not on internal navigation within your own site.
How would I track which job board sent the most views?
Create one tagged link per source. For each platform you post to — LinkedIn, Indeed, AngelList, your personal site — set utm_source to that platform name and utm_medium to job-board (or profile-link, social, etc.). Then watch which one accumulates clicks in your analytics dashboard.
Does CVPoet record UTM tags on my public CV?
Yes. When you publish a resume to cvpoet.com/@you and visit lands with UTM parameters, the Pro analytics dashboard shows the source breakdown. You can see whether your LinkedIn link is outperforming the link in your email signature.
Is this UTM builder free? Is my data saved anywhere?
Completely free, no signup, no ads, no usage limits. All URL generation happens in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. Saved presets use your browser's local storage and never leave your device.
What naming convention should I use?
Lowercase only, hyphens between words (not underscores or spaces), specific but short. Example: spring-2026-search rather than SpringSearch2026 or spring_2026_search. Document your conventions somewhere so future-you stays consistent.
