What is Tag Manager and how to set it up?

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a free tool that allows you to manage and deploy marketing tags (snippets of code or tags) on your website or mobile app without the need to modify the code directly. These tags can include Google Analytics, conversion pixels, remarketing tags, and more.

Advantages of Using Google Tag Manager:

• Ease of Use: You don’t need advanced programming knowledge to manage tags.
• Flexibility: It allows you to add and update tags from a web interface without touching the site’s code.
• Quick Implementation: It improves the speed of campaign deployment and site load times.
• Organization: It centralizes the management of all tags in one place.

Steps to Set Up Google Tag Manager:

1. Create an Account and a Container:

• Visit: Google Tag Manager
• Create Account: Enter your account details and the container (website or app name).
• Configure Container: Select the environment (Web, iOS, Android).

2. Install the Container on Your Website:

• Container Code: GTM will provide two code snippets.
  • Header Code: Place the first snippet immediately after the opening tag on all pages.
  • Body Code: Place the second snippet immediately after the opening tag on all pages.
