How can I make a button in Webflow include UTM parameters when a client lands on the page from an ad?

To make a button in Webflow include UTM parameters when a client lands on the page from an ad, you can use Webflow's built-in dynamic links feature. UTM parameters are a way to track the source, medium, and campaign of a website visit. Here's how you can set it up:

1. Open your Webflow project and go to the page where you want to add the button.
2. Add a button element to your page or select an existing button to edit.
3. Double-click on the button element to open the link settings in the right panel.
4. In the URL field, enter the destination URL of the page you want to link to, including any existing UTM parameters if applicable.
5. To add UTM parameters dynamically, click on the plus (+) icon next to the URL field.
6. Now, you can either add UTM parameters by selecting the available options or manually typing them in. For example, you can select "Source" and enter the source of your ad campaign, such as "Facebook". Similarly, you can add "Medium", "Campaign", "Term", and "Content" if needed.
7. After adding the UTM parameters, you will see them appended to the URL in the URL field. For example, if you added "source=Facebook" and "campaign=SummerSale", the URL will now look like this: example.com/?source=Facebook&campaign=SummerSale.
8. Make sure to save your changes.

By following these steps, whenever a visitor clicks on the button, they will be redirected to the destination URL with the UTM parameters included. This will allow you to track and analyze the traffic and conversions generated by your ad campaigns more effectively.

Example:

If you have a button that links to your website's pricing page, you can add UTM parameters to track visits from different ad platforms. For instance, if you're running a Google Ads campaign, add the UTM parameter "utm_source=google". If you're running a Facebook Ads campaign, add the UTM parameter "utm_source=facebook". This way, when a user clicks the button from a Google Ad, the URL will include "?utm_source=google". Similarly, for Facebook Ads, "?utm_source=facebook" will be appended. This allows you to identify the source of the ad campaign that brought the user to your pricing page.

Additional Tips:

• You can also use Webflow's CMS to dynamically generate UTM parameters based on content or campaign settings. This can save you time and allow for more automated tracking.
• It's important to ensure that the UTM parameters are correctly set up in your analytics tool (e.g., Google Analytics) to effectively track and measure the performance of your ad campaigns.
• Be mindful not to overload the URL with too many UTM parameters, as this can make it less user-friendly and potentially affect click-through rates.
