UTM governance for teams that outgrew their spreadsheet

Your governance model sits at the center. Each team draws from it, scoped to its own region, channels, and mediums. One dataset. Reports you can stand behind.

The spreadsheet went off the rails. The free UTM builders never had rails.

Teams grow. Standards erode. Analytics suffer.

Naming conventions drift

Teams grow, standards erode. Nobody remembers the rules from six months ago.

Nobody knows which values are valid

Dropdowns in spreadsheets can't enforce conditional logic or context-dependent rules.

Reports become untrustworthy

Inconsistent UTMs mean bad analytics, wasted ad spend, and decisions based on noise.

New team members guess

Without enforced structure, onboarding means hoping people read the wiki.

Define it once. Enforce it everywhere.

Three steps from chaos to governed campaign data.

1
Define

Build your governance model

Fields, taxonomies, picklists, validation rules. Structure your campaign data the way your organization actually works.

Dropdowns, text, date, concatenation, auto number, random ID & more
Conditional picklists
Multi-taxonomy support
2
Use

Your team builds. Wrong values aren't an option.

Build URLs via form or grid. No guessing, no typos. Every value validated, every record governed.

Form & grid views
Real-time validation
Bulk operations
3
Track

Every report sliced by the dimensions you defined

Not just location, referrer, and browser. Every click is broken down by your actual business dimensions, the fields you defined: source, medium, campaign, product, goal.

Field-based click analytics
Auto short links & QR codes
Custom domains
Scoped governance

Every team sees only what it can build.

Each workspace inherits your model, then you scope it down by region, source, medium, and channel. Your US team can't tag Europe; your paid agency can't touch social.

Any tool can build a UTM. Terminus makes sure nobody builds a wrong one.

Governance Models

Your naming convention, enforced as structure

Not just text rules: actual field types, conditional dropdowns, computed values, and validation. The system prevents bad data, not just warns about it.

Taxonomies

One model. Many contexts.

Paid search, email, and social share fields but need different rules. Taxonomies let you define those contexts: shared fields stay shared, context-specific fields only appear where they belong.

Picklists

Hierarchical, conditional, automated

What you see depends on what you've already selected. Hierarchical values, context-aware filtering.

Form & Grid Mode

Built for speed and efficiency

Build one at a time in form mode, or switch to grid mode and create dozens of governed URLs in bulk. Both fully validated.

Import & Export

Portable governance

Export any model as JSON, or share it so another team or client can copy it into their own account. No rebuilding from scratch.

Approval Workflows

Not everything fits in a dropdown

Rules and picklists catch most mistakes. But some decisions need human judgement. Approval workflows add that layer. Records only go live when someone signs off.

Batch submissions

Submit multiple records at once for review. Create or update in bulk, then send for approval.

Approved records are locked. Full audit trail from draft to sign-off. No silent edits after the fact.

Short URLs that know what they're tracking

Most shorteners stop at location, referrer, and device. Terminus breaks every click down by the dimensions that matter to you.

The Terminus analytics overview, with short link clicks grouped by Business unit alongside trend, geography, and the split between link clicks and QR scans.

Grouped by Business unit. A field on your governance model, not a UTM parameter.

QR codes that look like your brand

Not generic black squares. Shape the dots and eyes, recolor them, add a gradient, drop in your logo, and export print-ready.

Classic black QR codeClassic
QR code with an embedded brand logoWith your logo
QR code with a gradient fillGradient
QR code with classy rounded dotsClassy

6 dot shapes, 7 eye styles

Square, rounded, classy, dots, extra-rounded. Style the body dots and the corner eyes independently.

Any color, gradients too

Pick any hex color, or a two-stop linear or radial gradient, for the dots and the background.

Drop in your logo

Center a PNG, JPEG, or SVG logo, auto-sized, with the dots cleared behind it so it still scans.

"Scan me" frames

Wrap the code in a call-to-action banner with your own text and colors, above or below.

Captions

Add a label beneath the code that scales automatically with its size.

Print-ready exports

Transparent backgrounds and crisp output for packaging, signage, and print.
