UTM Tracking on Google Search
Hi everyone, hope you're doing fine.
I'm trying to find a way to track with UTM when a visitor of my website comes from a search engine. For example, if I open Google.com and search 'mywebsite.com' and click the first link, I'd like to track that with a UTM with values "utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=googlesearch" or something like that.
I've been reading a lot the last few days regarding this and didn't find anything confirming if this is even possible, I thought about it and logically speaking I found it challenging to do with code. My questions are: Is this possible to do? In case it is, anyone knows how?
I've tried with Google Analytics but they track links that already have the UTM Tracking on the URL, since 'mywebsite.com' doesn't have the UTM, I need to be able to add it when searched for (if clients looks for it on Google, source should be google, if they search on Bing, source should be bing, etc).
My apologies if this isn't the right channel to post this, please let me know.

Are you using Google Analytics? I could definitely be wrong but I have a feeling GA4 might track that for you already
Take a look at Google Search Console.

christ, I hope not...
what the fuck would you want to track a phone number for?
