UTM reference

Consistent UTM naming makes campaign analytics easier to read.

Standard fields

FieldRecommended value styleExample

utm_mediumChannelemail, cpc, social
utm_campaignCampaign namelaunch_2026_q2
utm_termKeyword or audiencebrand_terms
utm_contentCreative varianthero_cta

Naming rules

Use lowercase, stable separators and no spaces:

utm_source=newsletter
utm_medium=email
utm_campaign=pricing_update_2026
utm_content=footer_link

Avoid

  • Mixing Email, email and e-mail.
  • Using full sentences.
  • Putting personal data into campaign parameters.
  • Changing campaign names after launch.

Attribution

PureStats stores campaign values with the landing session and can attribute goals and funnel progress to those values.

Cleanup

If a campaign has many spelling variants, use dashboard filters or exports to identify the variants and standardize future links.
