Do I need to add UTM-tags to my Ads?

    Dear all,

    In my search for a plugin that would add information about which Ad campaign a user clicked to a CF7 form, I found this excellent plugin!

    Possibly a noob question; is it necessary to change/add something to my current Ad campaign to make this plugin work? E.g. adding UTM-links to my ads? Or are no manual changes needed to my Ads?

    I checked and “auto-tagging” is activated in Google Ads.

    I just tested the plugin and the only information it is giving me is the Gclid, but not the ‘campaign name’, ‘campaign source’ et cetera. These all stay empty. How do I make sure I also get that information?

    Thanks!

    Yes, that’s the best practice. Add the UTMs to your tracking template for paid ads. Organic and Social traffic will have no UTMs but will have referrer information (handl_original_ref)
