UTM naming conventions that keep reports clean
- Pick a standard list of sources and mediums and stick to it across your team.
- Use lowercase and hyphens:
spring-sale-2026, notSpring Sale 2026. - Use standard mediums such as
email,social,cpc,referralanddisplay, so Google Analytics groups your channels correctly. - Keep a spreadsheet of the links you create, so you remember what each campaign was.
Long campaign URLs look messy in print. Turn the link into a scannable code with the QR code generator.
