What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.

How to build an Amazon Ads tracking URL

The first decision is where the ad actually points. If it goes to Amazon, UTMs are the wrong tool and Amazon Attribution is the right one. If it goes to your own site, UTMs work exactly as they do everywhere else.

The link is assembled locally in the browser.

  • Confirm the ad points at a page you control, not an Amazon detail page.
  • Paste your landing page URL, keeping any product or variant parameters it already carries.
  • Keep the Amazon preset, which sets utm_source to amazon and utm_medium to cpc.
  • Add {campaignid}, {adgroupid} and {adid} in the campaign, term and content fields, and keep {lpurl} out of them.
  • Copy the link into the ad's destination, and use Amazon Attribution instead for anything pointing back to Amazon.

Why Amazon campaign links often need cleaner handling

Amazon traffic workflows often sit between product detail pages, listings, storefronts, and Attribution setups. That makes destination URLs busy fast, and readability matters when teams need to QA links before sending paid traffic.

This page keeps the same core builder, but frames it for Amazon Ads and Attribution-style use cases where product pages, listings, and external traffic tracking matter most.

What this page should help with

Use it when you need one cleaner campaign URL for Amazon-focused traffic, with readable naming and preserved query behavior before the link goes into ads, attribution flows, or reporting handoffs.

  • Amazon product page campaign URLs
  • Listing and external traffic tracking links
  • Attribution-style naming before launch
Tips

Getting a better result out of Amazon Ads UTM builder

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • UTM parameters only do anything on a page you control. If your Amazon ad points at an amazon.com product detail page, the UTMs land on Amazon's page and you will never see them. For that case you need Amazon Attribution tags, not UTMs.
  • Where UTMs do work is when Amazon DSP or Sponsored Display sends traffic to your own DTC site. Then the parameters arrive on your landing page and your analytics reads them exactly like any other paid channel.
  • Amazon's placeholders such as {campaignid}, {adgroupid} and {adid} are recognised and passed through literally. {lpurl} is different: it belongs in a tracking template where it stands in for the landing page, not as the value of a UTM field.
  • Keep utm_medium as cpc so Amazon-sourced paid traffic sits in the same channel group as your other paid search and shopping spend in GA4. A bespoke medium value pushes it into Unassigned.
  • Amazon Attribution issues its own tags with parameters like tag= and ascsubtag, and those are what report back into Amazon's console. Do not try to substitute UTM parameters for them; they answer different questions and go on different links.
Limits

What Amazon Ads UTM builder does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • It cannot track clicks that land on an Amazon product page. UTM parameters are read by analytics on your own site, and Amazon's detail pages are not your site.
  • It does not generate Amazon Attribution tags, which are the correct mechanism for measuring off-Amazon traffic into a product listing.
  • It builds one link at a time, with no bulk generation and no Amazon Ads API connection.
  • It writes the five classic UTM parameters only, so Amazon-specific tracking parameters have to be appended by hand.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is this an official Amazon Attribution builder?

No. It is a practical browser-first campaign URL builder that can be used for Amazon Ads and Attribution-style workflows, but it is not an official Amazon validator.

Can it be used for product pages and listing traffic?

Yes. The page is framed around product pages, listings, and external campaign traffic where cleaner tracking URLs are useful.

Does it preserve existing landing-page params?

Yes. Existing non-UTM query params remain in place while UTM values are rebuilt from the form.

Do UTM parameters work on Amazon product pages?

No. UTMs are read by the analytics running on the destination site, and you do not run analytics on Amazon's detail pages. If the ad points at an Amazon listing, use Amazon Attribution, which issues tags that report back into the Amazon console.

So when is an Amazon Ads UTM link useful?

When Amazon DSP or Sponsored Display drives traffic to your own website. Then the UTM parameters land on a page you control and your analytics attributes the session normally.

Can I put {lpurl} in a UTM field?

No. {lpurl} is a landing page placeholder used inside a tracking template, where it stands in for the destination URL. As the value of a UTM parameter it is meaningless.

What utm_medium should Amazon Ads traffic use?

cpc, so it groups with your other paid channels in GA4's default channel grouping. Reserve utm_source for amazon so you can still isolate it in a report.

What is Amazon Attribution and how is it different?

It is Amazon's own measurement product for non-Amazon traffic sent to Amazon listings. It issues tracking tags that append Amazon-specific parameters and report clicks, detail-page views and purchases back into the Amazon console. UTMs cannot do that.
