An example of something we commonly do through GTM at Digity is setting up and adjusting Google Analytics Events. Tag manager allows us to activate built-in variables and set up GA events which cannot be done through Google Analytics directly. This can then be used for GA goals if desired.
One example of this is a scroll variable. If new content is added to a website and we want to know if users reach a particular key point within a page, then the scroll variable can be activated and customised to record when users reach that point.
Another example is external link clicks. Google Analytics only records users' behaviour within your website, yet sometimes key actions actually prompt users to click and follow a link elsewhere: a PDF download, a link to a third-party retailer, a link to a donation site etc. These links can all be tracked with GTM!
There are many exciting uses of Google Tag Manager and a lot of things that can be done more quickly when it is properly utilised. However, none of this can be done if it is not already set up in your site. This can be done by your developer, but if you need someone to set it up quickly for you, then just book a call with us today.
