Google Tag Manager: A Guide

In today’s fast-paced digital world, understanding how users interact with your website is more important than ever.

Without the right tracking tools, you could be missing out on valuable insights that drive growth.

Managing multiple tracking tags from all of the varied services deployed on modern enterprise websites manually, is time-consuming and can be prone to errors.

That’s where Google Tag Manager (GTM) comes in — a powerful tool that simplifies and streamlines your website’s tracking setup.

But it doesn’t stop there, increasingly, sophisticated marketing automation and CRM platforms connect with websites via dedicated, off the shelf script libraries available within, and designed specifically for GTM, making enterprise ABM solutions like HubSpot and DemandBase easily integrated to a broader marketing technology stack.

At Evisible, we help our customers leverage GTM to unlock its full potential for their business.

Advantages of Using Google Tag Manager

Efficiency and Time Savings
GTM enables you to manage all your tracking tags from a single platform. No more hard-coding individual tags into your website. For example, if you’re running multiple marketing campaigns, GTM allows you to update tags quickly without relying on developers—saving you hours of manual work.

Minimised Errors
GTM’s preview environments and debug modes allow you to test tags before they go live, ensuring they function correctly. Whether you’re setting up custom events or tracking user actions, you can verify everything without disrupting your live site—significantly reducing the risk of errors.

Flexibility and Scalability
GTM integrates seamlessly with tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, and custom event tracking, offering flexibility as your marketing strategy evolves. Whether you need simple event tracking or complex user journey analytics, GTM scales with your business needs.

Collaboration and Accessibility
Because GTM is cloud-based, multiple team members can collaborate on tracking initiatives. Whether you’re in marketing or development, your team can access and update tags in real-time, making it easier to coordinate efforts—even across distributed teams.

Using Google Tag Manager to Implement a Consent Management Platform (CMP) and Google Consent Mode

With the rise of privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA, managing user consent is crucial for compliance.

Google Tag Manager (GTM) simplifies the integration of Consent Management Platforms (CMP) on your website, allowing you to control which tracking scripts are activated based on user preferences.

This ensures that you only collect data after users have explicitly agreed to it, safeguarding their privacy.

In addition, Google Consent Mode works alongside GTM to adjust how tools, such as Google Analytics and Google Ads, behave depending on the consent choices made by your website’s visitors.

Even if users decline tracking, Consent Mode allows you to collect aggregated, non-identifiable data to continue optimising your marketing efforts, while respecting the privacy choices of your visitors.

At Evisible, we configure GTM to work seamlessly with both CMPs and Google’s ‘Consent Mode’, ensuring that your tracking setup stays compliant while still delivering valuable insights to help grow your business.

Server-Side Tracking and first party tagging
Furthermore as the world of web analytics moves away from traditional tracking solutions, GTM’s server-side tracking and tagging possibilities help you reduce reliance on third-party cookies and move towards more regulatory friendly first party cookies, giving you and your website users more control over data collection and sharing.
