| UTMs on internal site links | Resets attribution mid-funnel |
| Too-long URL | TikTok may flag as spammy ??” shorten it |
| Forgetting utm_campaign | Can't compare campaign performance |
Auto-UTM via Bio Link Tool
Maintaining UTMs manually across 5+ destinations is painful. Bio link tools auto-add UTMs:
- Set page-level rule: every click passes
utm_source=tiktok&utm_medium=biolink. - Per-button overrides for special campaigns.
- Eliminates typos and missed tags.
UTM for Per-Video Attribution
Want to know which TikTok video drove the most traffic? Use utm_content=video-id:
- Each video has a unique URL ID (last segment of tiktok.com/@user/video/12345).
- If you're driving traffic from one specific video, briefly change bio link to
...&utm_content=video-12345. - After the video's traffic peak, change back. GA shows which video had highest conversion.
Alternatively, dedicate a bio link tool button per video and read per-button click counts.
