Real-World Examples
Frequently Asked Questions
Which UTM parameters are required?
For reliable Google Analytics tracking, `utm_source` (e.g. newsletter, google), `utm_medium` (e.g. email, cpc), and `utm_campaign` (e.g. summer_sale) are recommended.
Should UTM values contain spaces or uppercase letters?
It is best practice to use all lowercase letters and hyphens or underscores instead of spaces (e.g. `utm_source=weekly-newsletter`) to prevent fragmented reporting.
What does `utm_term` track?
`utm_term` is typically used in paid search campaigns to track the specific keyword that triggered the advertisement.
