Best practices

Always use & to append UTM parameters in your URLs.
Set tracking templates at the account level for consistency.
Use platform-specific macros; don’t mix tokens between platforms.
Include ad_id in all templates to enable attribution in Usermaven.
For Google PMAX campaigns, make sure to include um_campaign_id.

By following these templates, you’ll enable accurate, actionable insights inside Usermaven across all major ad platforms.
