# What should I do if my UTM parameters are not tracking correctly?

tpTrackingplan answers

If your UTM parameters aren’t working as expected, consider these troubleshooting steps:

-   **Check URL Structure:** Ensure URLs begin with “https://” and that UTM parameters are structured correctly.
-   **Confirm Parameter Accuracy:** Double-check for any typos or inconsistencies in your UTM tags, as these can disrupt tracking.
-   **Avoid Special Characters:** Refrain from using spaces or special characters in UTM parameters, as they can break links.
-   **Test URLs Before Launching:** Always test your URLs before launching a campaign to verify that all UTM parameters are tracked correctly in your analytics tool.

Following these steps can help you maintain accurate tracking and avoid common UTM issues.

**Stop babysitting tags**
