Healthcare-specific tracking guidance
Track appointment pages, local flyers, event booths, and educational resources. Healthcare campaigns often combine online and offline touchpoints, so clean UTM naming helps teams compare channels, landing pages, and conversion paths.
GA4 sees this traffic through the UTM values attached to the landing URL. For this page, the recommended starting point is source clinic_flyer and medium qr. That pairing keeps reports readable and makes it easier to compare this traffic against email, paid search, social, affiliate, QR, and referral campaigns.
The goal is not to create a different naming system for every page. The goal is to document practical defaults, show examples, and connect the page to the wider campaign tracking workflow. Use this page when planning campaign URLs, briefing team members, or auditing whether existing links follow a reliable pattern.

Best practices
Common mistakes
A common Healthcare mistake is using one generic campaign URL for every placement instead of separating high-value channels and assets.
Other common mistakes include uppercase values, spaces in campaign names, inconsistent separators, missing campaign names, and using one broad campaign label for every placement. Validate links before launch and keep a shared naming document for future campaigns.
