This was incredibly helpful, thank you so much!!! 🙏🙏

The video is really nice structured and topic well explained. But there's one mistake - calling gtag_report_conversion method is needed only if using manual tag setup. If using Google Tag Manager, the manager will listen to all events on the page, and fire those events that match defined triggers.

@nimskido233 8 ай бұрын

so if you follow the video all the way up to before doing the onclick. will it work? im using wix - i used the developer tools but still couldnt manage to fix it

@urosstanojevic7408 8 ай бұрын

@@nimskido233 yes. Referencing tag manager script and defining triggers inside tag manager should be enough. Start with some simple triggers to check if setup is working at all, and then continue with the ones you need.

@jawadzaheerkhan7102 6 ай бұрын

Thats what I was confused about too. The entire point of using GTM is when you dont have access to the anchor tag and cannot put the onclick event manually (like in squarespace this access is not available) so you use GTM which can automatically track all click events. Btw GA4 also tracks all outbound clicks so most link clicks can be tracked with that too.

@jawadzaheerkhan7102 6 ай бұрын

wix is a mess man. Did you figure the Page View Pageview mess out? Basically Wix doesn't have the auto Page View event in GTM so the normal way of tracking different page views does not work. Instead you gotta use a custom event named Pageview (I know its hilarious) to trigger your normal page view tags. @@nimskido233

Wow, thank you! I would never have discovered all the steps on my onw. But why did you add `gtag_report_conversion` when you already defined a tag+trigger in Google Tag Manager? Isn't it triggering twice then? 🤔

@user-ms4xc6md8o 8 ай бұрын

Would it work without the onclick script? - When setting up the Google Ads Conversion with the Conversion ID and Label ID in Tagmanager and use the trigger as 'Click URL' or smth? As soon as they click on the link you defined in the trigger, wouldn't that count as a conversion?

Thank you for the video! I saw in the video you don't recommend using the button tag. If I'm trying to track clicks off a book now button that has multiple outbound urls on the page, do I just add code for each outbound url? Or would this be a scenario where you recommend the button tag?

I am using a Squarespace 7.1 template. From my understanding, there is no way to access the full html to edit the tags? Is there a work around for this? Any help would be massively appreciated, or if anyone can point me in the direction of a similar video that is Squarespace focused, that would also be really appreciated!

@jawadzaheerkhan7102 6 ай бұрын

One of my clients using Squarespace too. A shame that they don't allow that. But this video is wrong. You do not need to add the onclick to the anchor tag if you are using GTM. GTM can automatically track click events so just follow the video until the GTM part.

Your question is a long time ago, but it may help someone else, it is very likely that when creating a new conversion your account is linked to GA4, and in the conversion you selected to "Measure in Google Analytics", Create a new conversion and after entering the URL, click on "Measure in Google Ads", the Tag will appear for you
