UTM reference
Consistent UTM naming makes campaign analytics easier to read.
Standard fields
| Field | Recommended value style | Example |
|---|---|---|
utm_source | Platform or source | newsletter, google, linkedin |
utm_medium | Channel | email, cpc, social |
utm_campaign | Campaign name | launch_2026_q2 |
utm_term | Keyword or audience | brand_terms |
utm_content | Creative variant | hero_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,emailande-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.
