You're running paid ads on Facebook, TikTok, or LinkedIn. You check Google Analytics expecting to see your campaigns driving traffic. Instead, you find m.facebook.com / referral or l.instagram.com / referral cluttering your reports.

Sound familiar? You're not alone — and the fix is simpler than you might think.

TL;DR

  • Google Ads auto-tags for GA4. Most other platforms (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest) do not.
  • Without UTM parameters, GA4 sees your paid traffic as generic referral traffic.
  • Add UTM parameters to every ad — copy-paste templates below.
  • Each platform uses different macro syntax — don't mix them up.
