Having just attempted Google's own Tag Manager tutorial in via their Analytics academy, I was completely confused three videos in after they moved from 'Here's how to log in' to 'Just write up some Javascript code real quick' in the space of one video. This video was measured and easy to follow however. I feel a little less lost now, thank you!
Note on the "preview" feature. If the debug window does not appear at the bottom of your website after a hard refresh of your site, be sure that you are NOT blocking third-party cookies on your site, and more importantly, the tag manager site itself. I struggled with this for a while as I was clicking preview but it was never showing it was in preview mode nor on my website. Orange banner at top of tag manager site needs to appear.
Great tutorial. Question, does it mean that I have to delete the Google Analytics code on my current website header and replace it with this new Google tag code?
great tutorial. I have 1 question pls, would i still have to paste both my GA script AND my GTM script on my website or would the GTM script be sufficient?
I learned a lot about GTM from this video, thank you! Just one question though, when you created the add to cart tag, what is on the new tab that opens at around 7:03?
hello , i have watched many of your videos and they have helped me plenty , do you have a video i am not finding for making an ad for a (1) specific product targeted to a specific audience such as targeting denture cream to 65+ people or even a car part to people who drive or show interest in that specific car ?
The video is very easy to understand. I wanna ask how can we test & track if GTM works on web app? I read lots of tutorial article but 100% of them are doing on a desktop view. My team is going to make a web app trading game for students, but it's allowed to use from mobile only. Now I need to figure out how to set up GTM, GA, GG Optimize... but I'm new to this. I hope you can share with me some tips or guides. Thanks a lot.
Okay i think im starting to get it. I have a website and it not shopify. My products have picture and a button that says buy here. If i follow these steps i will see each person who click on the button right? But what the difference on knowing if the click on the button vs affiliate tracking where is show now many click thr button. Then was directed to them?
Would you recommend hardcoding the GTM and FB Pixel codes onto the site? I followed the instructions for your Facebook Pixel setup and I do not see the FB Pixel or GTM coding in the page source view.
Thanks Julian! Subbed, I'm happy I discovered your channel today. Quick question, do you know if adding facebook pixel manually to my site will track every event, even though visitors are using AdBlock?
Hi Julian, your videos are amazing!! Thanks for sharing them with us!! I have one question: 1) When I create a new account, it asks me for a country. Is this country the one I, as the manager of the website, live in? Or where the website is from? (I ask because I manage websites from different countries). Thanks!
As for Google Tag Manager Account, I think the country don't matter that much. However, the country, timezone is very important in Google Analytics account. Hope it helps.
can someone explain why I am not seeing the tags fired in preview mode? then when I click to check on the Tag Assistant chrome helper extension, it says 3 total, one is green which is the global site tag, and 2 are blue, the GA, and GTM.. then i click to investigate and it says this on the blue tag "GTM no-script code not found: either missing or not in "
Can you answer my question,..i want to install GTM and ofc to instal GA and Fb pixel,and much more...those codes are already installed previously on Web site and my question is, is it safe to erase old ones, or there is a safer procedure not to lose all history data in process,...if i leave those old codes and install same ones thru GTM,...is there going to be double reading of same data? Thank you in advance
Thank you so much for this lesson it has really enhance my understanding. But I have an issue with my GTM. I have followed all the steps you showed on the video above but my Google Analysis would still not fire. Can you please assist me to solve this or let me how to uninstall and reinstall? Thanks a lot
I have a question. Why record event "add to cart"? And do you have a video tutorial on how to record order conversion? Orders, goods, value? I've been trying to figure out how to set up GTM for eshop conversion for three days :(
Hello Just a quick question, I can see on the debugger that the event was triggered but i do not see it on the google analytics. What could be the problem?
Great vid, well explained. One question, if the click event has an error will gtm still count event .e.g if it was for a form completion but form was not completed completely
I followed exactly the entire process of getting a click tag with add to cart, but it doesn't show up in my Google Analytics. Would you know a reason why this doesn't work?
If there are 10 elements like text-box and check-boxes in a form submission, Can it report on which of those form elements were clicked by the Form-submit event?
I have a question: you mentioned that the snippet of GTM is a Javascript code, what if my CMS does not support Javascripts? Do you have any work around on this? Is it possible to have a HTML code instead for that script? Otherwise as it looks now I am not going to be able to install GTM into my website 😔Thanks for your any feedback and help!
Thank you for your video. I am quite keen to see your other ones. I have a question (ich schreib das mal auf Englisch): I set up the Tag EXACTLY like you do it in this video in GTM. Now the tag is visible in the preview mode of the site but under "not firing" (and therefor not visible in GA) - I have no idea why. Are there things I should check?
Hey Julian! Excellent video! I have a question. Can you install multiple Facebook pixels (for agency clients) on a single Wordpress Site, and use GTM to specify each Facebook Pixel to only fire off on certain pages of my site for tracking purposes? In theory, I am trying to create landing pages for my clients on a wordpress site, and drive facebook ad traffic to them, and track each page's pixel according to the client. I will need one FB pixel for each landing page. So if I have 10 clients running 5 landing pages each, I'll need 10 FB pixels installed on a single WP site monitoring 50 respective landing pages. Would this be possible with GTM? Hope you will reply! Thanks!
Hey, thanks for the content, your whole channel is awesome. I have one problem with the Add to Cart event though. I've set it up like you've said in the video, and it works fine as long as someone adds a product to cart from the product page. But I also have a quick quick shop option, where a small pop-up with product details shows up instead of redirecting you to a product page. If the user adds the product to cart from the quick-view pop-up, the event doesn't register. Do you have any tips on how to solve this? Thanks.
congrats, I am a big fan of your work, nicely done! I am struggling with my tag specifically after someone conatacted me gthrough my website. I have a "thank you for contacting me page" that I use as a trigger for a "contact me " tag, but my regular "page view"/all page also fire. How can I avoid double count?
When I put this tag inside the template I get this error. Error parsing XML, line 17, column 43: The reference to entity "l" must end with the ';' delimiter. What is the solution to the problem, please? I tried to modify but to no avail. &l='+l:''; (function(w, d, s, l, i) { w[l] = w[l] || []; w[l].push({ 'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(), event: 'gtm.js' }); var f = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j = d.createElement(s), dl = l != 'dataLayer' ? '&l=' + l : ''; j.async = true; j.src = 'www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=' + i + dl; f.parentNode.insertBefore(j, f); })(window, document, 'script', 'dataLayer', 'GTM-KUHYGTF');
Hi i have a problem with google tag manager when i am using google tag manager code on my wordpress website header.php head and body section then GTmatrix is giving me Add expires header() issue and my site speed is down i want this tag manager and i also want speed is good not down for tag manager but how can i solve this issue? please help me.
In theory, GTM allows you to dramatically increase the page load times. You can take all of the Javascript on your site and trigger it from GTM. So you can replace many scripts with the one script. If you really want to increase the speed, you might need to look other ways to increase the page speed, like choose good server with awesome caching, minifiy html, css, javascript.....
I activated Google Analytics on my WordPress and suddenly I have a Google tag I can use and I don't know why, when, what, how, where. Everything is code language these days, literally! It's so difficult.
Thank you for your information! However, I am confused. I have a new website. It is www.glamchicartgallery.com. I have Google Analytics including my tracking ID Code. Anything after that is CONFUSING. Such as, Global Site Tag and Google Tag Manager. Recently, Google sent me notification saying: "My property Glam Chic Art Gallery is not receiving hits". "The site is not receiving sessions or it is not tagged correctly." Google ask me to paste the several lines of my programming code on each page of my site using Global Site Tag. Yes, I see my code, but what are the "exact steps" to paste it?? It is not happening for me. That part is complicated. Should I paste it? I don't believe I have Google Tag Manager on my site either. Should I do both?? Should they both be pasted onto my site? Next, if I put Google Tag Manager on my website will both items conflict with each other?? Please advise me on what I should do. Especially considering I am not receiving sessions, views or hits. Thank you kindly! I look forward to your reply! Denise of Glam Chic Art Gallery

great tutorial. I have 1 question pls, would i still have to paste both my GA script AND my GTM script on my website or would the GTM script be sufficient?
Did you find an answer to that?
Loved your video Julian. Very clearly explained. I used GTM years ago but need a refresher, this course seems perfect.
I learned a lot about GTM from this video, thank you! Just one question though, when you created the add to cart tag, what is on the new tab that opens at around 7:03?
Great vid can use this to get more leads

Quick question - Can we remove FB pixel codes from the website/FB plugin after we deploy FB pixel as part of GTM?
Okay i think im starting to get it. I have a website and it not shopify. My products have picture and a button that says buy here. If i follow these steps i will see each person who click on the button right? But what the difference on knowing if the click on the button vs affiliate tracking where is show now many click thr button. Then was directed to them?

Thanks Julian! Subbed, I'm happy I discovered your channel today. Quick question, do you know if adding facebook pixel manually to my site will track every event, even though visitors are using AdBlock?
no, adblock is adblock. If they are using it then Facebook might be blocked
@@MeasureSchool Thank you, and I guess GTAG won't be able to track events either..
Amazing video! Thanks!
Hi Julian, your videos are amazing!! Thanks for sharing them with us!!
I have one question:
1) When I create a new account, it asks me for a country. Is this country the one I, as the manager of the website, live in? Or where the website is from? (I ask because I manage websites from different countries).
Thanks!
As for Google Tag Manager Account, I think the country don't matter that much. However, the country, timezone is very important in Google Analytics account. Hope it helps.

Great Intro to 2019!
Hey bro! Is your Google tag manager triggering on checkout pages?
Can I delete the regular GA tracking code then?
What’s the difference between choosing Google ads or FB Ads when setting a trigger on your website via Google tags?
Thank you so much for this lesson it has really enhance my understanding. But I have an issue with my GTM. I have followed all the steps you showed on the video above but my Google Analysis would still not fire. Can you please assist me to solve this or let me how to uninstall and reinstall? Thanks a lot
Supercool!!!
Do you have the TikTok version for ecom (adding custom purchase value).
I have a question. Why record event "add to cart"?
And do you have a video tutorial on how to record order conversion? Orders, goods, value? I've been trying to figure out how to set up GTM for eshop conversion for three days :(
yes, we have a video on ecommerce tracking and order value too
@@MeasureSchoolThank you. And you tell me which one?
Thanks so much for your videos :)
Hey bro! Is your Google tag manager triggering on checkout?
Hello
Just a quick question, I can see on the debugger that the event was triggered but i do not see it on the google analytics. What could be the problem?
filters or wrong config
Great vid, well explained.
One question, if the click event has an error will gtm still count event .e.g if it was for a form completion but form was not completed completely
I followed exactly the entire process of getting a click tag with add to cart, but it doesn't show up in my Google Analytics. Would you know a reason why this doesn't work?
If there are 10 elements like text-box and check-boxes in a form submission, Can it report on which of those form elements were clicked by the Form-submit event?
yes, but you would need to utilize some advanced customization of your tracking deployment
Do I need to install Tag Manager to all web pages if I need to track a specific product page visitor from an Ad?
I'd say yes. There might be exceptions but generally yes.
@@MeasureSchool Thank you for your valuable response
I have a question: you mentioned that the snippet of GTM is a Javascript code, what if my CMS does not support Javascripts? Do you have any work around on this? Is it possible to have a HTML code instead for that script? Otherwise as it looks now I am not going to be able to install GTM into my website 😔Thanks for your any feedback and help!
If you have a place to input HTML, then that's where you can put the snippet

I know this is two years old, but I suspect that the HTML in the pop-up page does not have the google tag manager code in it

depends how your trigger is setup. There are different techniques. You could use a cookie, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble
What trigger set up would you recommend ?
I see, how should the trigger be set up?

This is not for beginners. You don't explain in simple words what this is for and how to set up an account and so on.
This is very frustrating.
Awesome content. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life. We accept Him as our Lord and Savior and live a life according to The Bible.
don't like your tutorial as you don't go through it from literally scratch...
Amazing video . Thanks so much !
fantastic video. thank you so much!
Nice job!
