Tips for UTM Parameters
- • Use lowercase and underscores for consistency (e.g. spring_sale)
- • Avoid spaces — they get encoded as %20 in URLs
- • Be consistent across campaigns so GA4 reports group correctly
- • Source + Medium + Campaign are the three core parameters

UTM parameters (Urchin Tracking Module) are tags added to the end of a URL that tell analytics platforms like Google Analytics 4 (GA4) where your traffic came from and what campaign drove it. When a user clicks a UTM-tagged link, the parameters are captured and reported in your analytics dashboard.
UTM parameters do not affect the page the user lands on — they are purely for tracking purposes. The five standard parameters are:
| Parameter | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| utm_source | Where the traffic comes from | google, newsletter |
| utm_medium | The marketing channel | cpc, email, social |
| utm_campaign | The specific campaign name | spring_sale, launch |
| utm_term | Paid search keyword | seo+tools |
| utm_content | Differentiates ad versions | logo-link, text-cta |
UTM Naming Convention Best Practices
Inconsistent UTM naming is one of the most common analytics problems. If you use Google in one campaign and google in another, GA4 treats them as two separate sources. Follow these conventions to keep your data clean:
- Always use lowercase — UTM values are case-sensitive in Google Analytics;
Googleandgooglecreate separate rows - Use underscores instead of spaces — Spaces get encoded as
%20in URLs; underscores are cleaner and more readable - Keep medium values consistent — Agree on a standard set:
cpc,email,social,organic,referral - Use a naming taxonomy document — Shared across your team so everyone uses the same values for the same campaigns
- Don't add UTM to internal links — Adding UTM parameters to links within your own site resets the session source in GA4 and corrupts attribution data
- Shorten URLs before sharing — UTM-tagged URLs are long; use a URL shortener (Bitly, etc.) when sharing on social media
