Explanation:
Using auto-tagging exclusively provides several benefits over manual tagging. It:
- Saves you the work of manually tagging every final URL.
- Eliminates the errors you can introduce when you attempt to manually tag each URL. For example,
utm_source=Google
is different fromutm_source=google
. - Allows you to import Analytics goals and transactions into AdWords Conversion Tracking.

If you need to use manual tagging but still want to take advantage of the benefits of auto-tagging, you can select the auto-tagging override option.
