Successful Marketing Starts With Good Data


Why Outsource Your GTM Work?

Often it's not enough to know that a download event happened on your website. You want to know what was downloaded, from which page, and what CTA was the most successful. That’s where GTM comes in. A poor GTM implementation, misconfigured tagging structures, and lack of strategy will ultimately result in bad data. GTM can be incredibly complex for those who are not familiar with code and website structure.

Google Tag Manager Frequently Asked Questions

What is Google Tag Manager?

Google Tag Manager is a free tool offered by Google. It enables us to manage tracking codes (marketing & analytics tags) and code snippets on our websites and apps such as:

  • Google Analytics tracking code
  • Google Analytics events
  • Facebook Pixel code
  • Google Adwords Conversion code
  • And more

Before tag management tools, like GTM, developers were needed in order to implement all those codes/tags on our websites and apps.

How to install Google Tag Manager?

After you finish creating a Google Tag Manager account and container, you’ll get two code snippets.

Ask developer for assistance if you don't have access to your website’s source code. The first box of code in the <script> tags will need to be added to the <head> part of the website. The second box of code within the <noscript> tags will go right after the opening <body> tag.

You might have the option to use an existing GTM plugin for easy installation if you’re using a popular content management system.
