I currently have about 4 HTML codes in my ecommerce code/theme. "Google Tag Manager", "Global Site tag" (with my google ads AW code), "Global Site Tag" (with my GA4 measurement ID), and "Global Site Tag" (with my UA conversion ID). I hope I said that right. BUT..... is that okay??

@clarkuniversity 3 жыл бұрын

Questions. If we've been using UA with google tag manager and now ready to implement G4. Should a new Google Tag be created and used along with the other Google Tag for the UA? Should the new G4 be setup in a separate container or it's okay to just add to the existing UA container? Seems I'm getting mixed messages.

Thanks so much for this tutorial, big respect for you dude! I learned a lot more from your tutorial than trying to read up on how to use GTM on the internet somewhere else. Question: Is it possible to configure a conversion specific to a button on a website using GTM? Is it also possible to set up a trigger that the tag only triggers on that button if certain requirements are met to count as a conversion (for example, a user needs to fill in their name and email first in order for the tag to trigger when pressing on the button). Thanks so much or your help!

@JasonAWhaling 2 жыл бұрын

Happy to help and hope the rest of your GTM install went smoothly. Answer: Yes, you can setup a trigger to fire when someone clicks a specific button on the page. However, you can't have GTM only fire if someone actually filled out that form; it's better to have a confirmation page so that you can set the conversion tag to fire on that page load

Great walk through! I now have a much better understanding of how to use Google Tags and integrate Facebook pixel for events. I assume LinkedIn has its own pixel? What about Twitter? Am saving this video for reference as I'm sure I'll be making use of the tips soon. One more question... When assigning triggers, is there an option to give them custom names or are we restricted to the titles in the drop down list? Thanks

@JasonAWhaling 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome to hear it was so helpful! Yes, LinkedIn and Twitter have their own codes. You'll just use the 'Custom Code' element talked about in the second to last section and have it fire on all pages. In Tag Manager you can assign the name whatever you like when creating the trigger. If you're referring to the playbook, that drop down is just to remind you what stage of the funnel that trigger is for - you can give it whatever name you'd like in the Playbook as well.

@trudylloyd4643 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks very much for this Jason. Really helpful video. I like your presenting style and tone which seem very natural and relaxed. For me personally with a Weebly website, things were not as straightforward as the example of a pagebuilder that you gave. Weebly provides a place to add 'header' and 'footer' code but not 'body' code. So I had to edit the code in the theme - which I had to learn how to do separately. With the Chrome Tag Assistant I can now see Tag Manager is installed on my website. However Chrome Tag Assistant is not showing my Analytics and Facebook tags.. However, I have also looked in 'preview' mode of Tag Manager and that is showing that Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are installed on my website and firing. I am wondering if the Chrome Tag Assistant is pretty unsophisticated... not able to work properly on Weebly? And wondering whether 'preview' and debugging mode on Tag Manager - is more reliable? In future I'd really appreciate if you have the opportunity, to relate any of your videos to Weebly - as there is a real shortage of good videos to help Weebly site owners with these kind of tracking aspects.

@JasonAWhaling 3 жыл бұрын

Wow, I'd say that's a failure on Weebly's part. They should know that people want to add tracking to their websites. Congrats on figuring out how to to get it onto your site properly! For the Tag Assistant issue, if the container is published and the preview shows them firing then I'd wait a few days to see if data comes through analytics. If it doesn't, just means the chrome plug-in is having some issues as you thought. Thanks so much for watching and thank you for your kind words on the video!

My question is, will the data tracked until now be deleted on the Analytics platform if i delete the code from the website? or because I have already setup GTM, the previous data collected will not be lost? Thank you so much for your help!

1) Delete them right after. You want to make sure the new system is 100% before removing the old one. 2) No - All the data inside of Analytics will stay there. Only the code on your site is disappearing. So just make sure your code is in GTM before removing the other one and you'll be good to go

Hi Jason, brilliant video thank you! I was originally trying to avoid tag manager because I thought it would be too hard, but you've proved me wrong. I have one question though: I've added the remarketing tag but tag assistant says "to validate please enter feed ID" - I could only find one answer online which said it was my google merchant ID (I have an e-commerce website with shopping campaigns set up) but that did not seem to fix it. Do you have any ideas as to what it's asking for? Is this a case of google asking me for the feed I'm using in my remarketing campaigns, but because I am currently not doing any remarketing there is simply nothing to add? Thanks once again.

So, I'm not the one on my team who sets up the merchant center so I'm not the person to ask.... What it sounds like is you need to go to your Google Ads account and look at your notifications.

Great explanation, although it lost me at a couple of points as my website is not yet built out enough for the URL's required, and my WordPress site does not go to a different page (URL) when a contact form is submitted for example. I do know I can come back to review it, however. Question: If you have multiple businesses and websites what is the best way to structure Google Tag Manager and Google Ads Accounts?

@JasonAWhaling 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you and sorry to hear I feel short in some parts.... 1) if there is no new URL for the contact form, then you'll need to create a trigger for the button click. It's different for every plug-in and some don't even allow for it which is why it's left out of many of these videos. I'd do a search 'Contact Form Plugin Name + Tag Manager' or 'Trigger' to see if there is a tutorial how to do it for your specific plug-in. 2) For separate business, each business should have it's own account. Then a separate container for each domain (even subdomains). It's okay if you put the same UA/GA4 code in multiple containers... That's how we tackle it anyway. Hope that helps!

@@JasonAWhaling Thank you for the reply. For clarity, I certainly do not feel you feel short! The content just didn't have a direct correlation to the maturity of the website in question. 1.

Hello. Your videos are best. I can't installed Google Tag Manager On My Website (I have GoDaddy) What can i to do? Thank you very Much...

Wow, that's not cool. If your site builder doesn't allow for this then your just out of luck unless you can manually access the header tag of your site :( Hopefully they have a way for you to at least get Google Analytics on there... Thanks for watching and sorry I don't have a better solution for ya

Hi Jason, is it possible to create two tags, one UA and another GA4 in the same container? Will it double-count everything?

@JasonAWhaling 2 жыл бұрын

Yes and yes. That's what we do for every site we work on. We treat the two as two separate platforms because they are right now. So yes, you 'double track' but you want both platforms tracking at the same time.

@Song-xg5th 2 жыл бұрын

@@JasonAWhaling Thanks, Jason. I was concerned about double-counting page views. It happened before and I was advised that it was because both UA and GA4 were running at the same time, and I had to remove GA4. I think there was a bug with GA4 then, but I understand now that both do run independently.

Hi Jason, I have a research page with a list of PDFs. I managed to set up a trigger tag in GTM to track PDF clicks, however, I do not know which specific PDF/research is being clicked on. Is there a way to track the PDF name/text link title?

@JasonAWhaling 2 жыл бұрын

There is a way to look at your data layer to see which one is being clicked. You may want to setup a separate event in analytics for each link if you need to see them individually.

Hi Jason, I have a problem because I want to add a lead tag (google adds conversion, min 32) but I have a Ninja form plugin in my site. The thing is that when someone clicks the "send" button, the URL doesnt change. It only shows a confirmation message in the screen but URL stays the same

@JasonAWhaling 2 жыл бұрын

Yikes! That means you will have to configure the tag to fire when someone clicks the button - I suggest searching for a blog post that shows you exactly how to do that with Ninja forms - since every plug-in is different. Something like 'Ninja Forms Conversion Tracking" or "Ninja Forms Google Tag Manager"

If I started an Account in Tag Manager - before I watched your tutorial (following another's not great advice) - would there be a problem if I deleted the account and recreated it following your approach?

@JasonAWhaling 3 жыл бұрын

You can start over from scratch. Just make sure that you have this one completely ready, before installing and deleting the other one so you don't lose data.... So in your case, setup the new tag manager BEFORE adding it to your site. Then when all your codes are ready, add the NEW GTM code and remove the old

If you weren't the one who installed it in the past; then you'll have to ask who did where they put the code.... Tag Manager goes in the same place as Google Analytics so you should be able to see the old GA code in the same place your now installing GTM.

You shouldn't do that unless you trust the source and you should always have view access to the container so you can see what they are doing.... It's not unheard of to be paid for that; just keep in mind they can send really targeted ads to your viewers so only do it if you actually believe in the product the company sells.

@@JasonAWhaling That's an awful lot of trust... You are trusting them with direct access to tagging your site with anything they want. I would only do this kind of thing in a very limited capacity with an in-house dept. that you have 100% transparency with. It's like renting out your house keys to a stranger... They can obfuscate what you see to a certain degree if they really wanted to with that kind of access do keep in mind, view access or not.
