Naming tip

Agree on one list of sources and mediums and stick to it. Consistent tags are what make channel reporting trustworthy — and they’re free.

UTM naming rules we recommend

  • Always lowercase. GA4 treats “Facebook” and “facebook” as different sources.
  • No spaces. Use underscores or hyphens consistently.
  • Fixed lists for source and medium. Write them down and share them with everyone who creates links.
  • Campaign names that sort well, e.g. service_offer_season.
  • Don’t tag internal links on your own site — it overwrites the original source.

Google Ads and UTMs

For Google Ads, auto-tagging (the gclid parameter) is usually the better choice and is required for features like offline conversion import. Use manual UTMs mainly for Meta, email, SMS, QR codes and partners. Learn more about how we structure measurement.
