Clean UTM links. Reports that add up.<\/strong> RedFoX UTM Link Builder is the UTM builder inside your WordPress dashboard. Pick a page, a channel and a campaign \u2013 and get a clean, consistent tracking link in seconds, copied to your clipboard and saved in a searchable history. Need it short? One switch turns it into a short link on your own domain, with the UTM details added on the way.<\/p>\n\n Campaign reports only add up when every link is named the same way. One Small teams, coaches, course creators and agencies who send newsletters, post on social media and run ads \u2013 and want reports in Matomo, Google Analytics or any other tool that add up.<\/p>\n\n It builds, stores and \u2013 if you want \u2013 shortens links. It does not track visitors, does not store IP addresses and does not set cookies. UTM links work on their own; short links need the plugin to be active, because your website does the redirect.<\/p>\n\n The plugin does not contact any external service, sets no cookies and tracks nothing on your website. Links, campaigns and settings are stored in your WordPress database only.<\/p>\n\n Short links: when someone opens a short link, your website redirects them and \u2013 if click counting is on \u2013 adds one to the link's click number. No IP address, no cookie, no user agent or other personal data is stored. The browser's user agent is only looked at to leave out link previews and bots; it is not saved.<\/p>\n\n The optional contact ID adds a placeholder to email links that your email system replaces with the recipient's contact number. It ties a visit to a person \u2013 only switch it on if your privacy policy covers it.<\/p>\n\n The admin page links to the RedFoX UTM Convention and to help pages on redfox-business.com and to the reviews on WordPress.org. Nothing is loaded from there; they are normal links.<\/p>\n\n\n A short set of rules for UTM parameters that keeps reports clean: Yes. Sources, placements, prefixes and click purposes can be edited in the settings, and you can add your own channels. Any address can be the target, not only pages of your site.<\/p><\/dd>\n An extra parameter that says where the link sits (e.g. UTM links: no. They are normal addresses with parameters and do not depend on the plugin. Short links: yes \u2013 your website does the redirect, so they only work while the plugin is active. Deleting the plugin keeps your history, campaigns and short links \u2013 unless you tick \u201cRemove all links, campaigns and settings when the plugin is deleted\u201d in the settings.<\/p><\/dd>\nFacebook<\/code> instead of facebook<\/code>, one campaign spelled two ways, one ?<\/code> too many \u2013 and your analytics split into rows nobody can add up again. The builder follows the RedFoX UTM Convention<\/a> (free PDF), so everyone on your team builds links the same way, without typos.<\/p>\n\nWhy people use it<\/h4>\n\n

The UTM details are saved with the short link and added when someone clicks, so your reports stay complete. Without UTM parameters, it is a plain short link \u2013 e.g. to your booking page or a video call.<\/li>\nnoindex, nofollow<\/code>).<\/li>\nexample.com\/go\/\u2026<\/code>); every link keeps its address if you change the prefix later.<\/li>\n?<\/code>, spaces, &<\/code> from HTML source, unknown sources or campaigns, a misspelled contact placeholder.
