UTM tags: build and verify one link

MikhailUpdated Oct 16, 2026

UTM parameters label an external visit with source, medium and campaign information. They help analytics identify the tagged link, but do not by themselves prove an enquiry or sale.

01Agree on names

Use one dictionary instead of Instagram, instagram and insta for the same source. Teaching values: utm_source=instagram, utm_medium=paid_social, utm_campaign=mebel_test, utm_content=video_a. These identify source, traffic type, campaign and creative.

02Construct the URL

Documentation example: https://example.com/?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=paid_social&utm_campaign=mebel_test&utm_content=video_a . A ? starts parameters; & separates them. If a ? already exists, append with &. Never include customer names or phone numbers.

03Test the whole route

Open the link on a test device, check redirects and analytics. If the form passes source into CRM, locate the same test there. Coordinate platform auto-tagging and manual tags; see GA4 guidance.

04Understand the limits

Missing measurement, removed parameters or another device may leave source unknown. A tag identifies a link, not a person's entire journey. Internal navigation normally should not be labelled as a new external source; measure the path separately.
