Answer

A UTM link is a normal URL with tracking tags added — source, medium, campaign — so your analytics can show which post or channel sent each visitor. You build one with a URL builder by filling in those fields.

It turns 'social traffic' into specifics you can act on. Link-in-bio and analytics tools help you tag and read them — compare analytics tools and link-in-bio tools.
