Google Analytics with CoSchedule
CoSchedule offers a Google Analytics integration that automatically adds UTM tracking parameters to all of your links published to social media.
UTM tracking parameters or "tags" are text strings added to URLs that allow you to track those URLs when they get clicked on. UTM tracking parameters are "read" by Google through your website's URL (and other tracking programs) and then pulled into your Google Analytics Dashboard.
The resulting data is visible in Google Analytics, which means you can track traffic in terms of where it came from and how it got to you.
