Names like “New campaign 3 – Copy” make reports impossible to read. A consistent naming system saves time and helps you learn from results.
A simple system

Tips
- Use the same separators and abbreviations every time.
- Put the most important information first.
- Include dates in a sortable format: 2026-10.
- Write abbreviations in a shared document so your team uses them too.
Match your UTM tags
Use the campaign and ad names in UTM tags so Google Analytics reports match Ads Manager. Create them with our UTM link builder. Meta also supports dynamic URL parameters that insert names automatically.
Why it pays off
When names describe the concept and hook, you can filter all “testimonial” ads and see which concept works best across months.
