UTM best practices

UTM tags are case-sensitive, free-text, and permanent once a link is live — so a single inconsistency splits one campaign into several rows in your reports. A few shared habits keep the data clean and comparable across the team.

  • Build, don’t type

    Always generate links here instead of writing UTMs by hand. The dropdowns guarantee source and medium match the approved taxonomy every time.

  • Stay lowercase

    Analytics reads LinkedIn and linkedin as two different sources. Keep everything lowercase — the auto-format toggle handles this for you.

  • Underscores, not spaces

    Spaces become %20 and make links look broken. Use underscores to keep values readable, like spring_launch_2026.

  • Don’t invent sources or mediums

    They’re fixed on purpose. If something genuinely doesn’t fit, agree a new entry with the team first — never improvise straight into the URL.

  • Agree a campaign naming convention

    Pick a pattern such as product_region_month and reuse it. Consistent utm_campaign values are what let you compare performance over time.

  • Never tag internal links

    Only add UTMs to inbound links from outside the site. Tagging links between your own pages restarts the session and corrupts attribution.

  • Keep it free of personal data

    UTMs are visible in the URL and stored in analytics. Never include names, emails, or anything sensitive in a tag.

  • Test before you launch

    Click the finished link, confirm it lands on the right page, and check the parameters appear correctly in the address bar.

Reference

UTM legend — what each tag means

Every parameter has a specific job in your reporting. Here’s what each one records and how it looks in a finished link.

utm_sourcerequired

The specific origin of the traffic — where the link physically lives or is sent from. Chosen from the approved list so it always maps to a known channel.

utm_source=linkedin
utm_mediumrequired

The marketing channel or format that delivered the link. Filtered to the mediums valid for the source you picked, so the pairing is always correct.

utm_medium=paid_social
utm_campaignoptional

The name of the campaign, promotion, or initiative the link belongs to. Groups every link from one effort together so you can measure it as a whole.

utm_campaign=spring_launch_2026
utm_contentoptional

Separates links that point to the same place within one campaign — different creatives, CTAs, or placements. Ideal for A/B testing which version performs best.

utm_content=hero_banner
utm_termoptional

Originally for paid-search keywords; also handy for tagging the audience or targeting behind a link so you can compare what each segment delivers.

utm_term=epilepsy_awareness
utm_idoptional

A unique campaign ID that ties the link back to a record in GA4 or a planning sheet. Useful when you manage campaigns by code rather than by name.

utm_id=2026_q2_004
