ABOUT THIS COURSE
In the noisy digital world, data is what really matters.
Every day a new or existing vendor releases a new pixel/marketing tags (short snippet of code that collects information about a website visitors and their behavior on the site) to help analysts, digital marketers, and developers collect more data.
The painful problem is that each one of these tags (e.g. Hotjar, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Linkedin Pixel, Doubleclick Floodlights, and others), generally need to be manually deployed on the website, and typically require some level of Javascript knowledge to be implemented.
Hence, it's pretty much mandatory to team up with development teams every single time a new tag needs to be deployed.
On top of that, there's always a consistent effort required to configure and manage all these different pixels and tags, and it's hard to have those communicate with each other.
This course is about the solution to the above issues, Google Tag Manager. The course covers the inside outs of Google Tag Manager
WHAT IS GOOGLE TAG MANAGER AND WHY DO I NEED TO LEARN THAT?
Google Tag Manager is a free tool that makes life easier for people struggling with these issues, by providing a centralized dashboard to create and manage every single tag and pixel needed, with little or no help from dev teams (that will be able to focus on what really matters and provide support only or advanced implementations and on a limited number of use cases).
Google Tag Manager, or GTM, provides a single Javascript Container that will have to be deployed just once on a given website. From that moment onwards, marketers and analysts will be able to track events, implement new tags, make changes or even remove them from the GTM dashboard, with consistent productivity improvement. GTM offers many features that will be fully illustrated throughout the course, with both simulated and real-world examples.
IN THIS COURSE YOU WILL LEARN:
Master all the Google Tag Manager (GTM) features, including Containers, Workspaces, Tags, Triggers and Variables
Setting up a GTM account
Create and Manage Containers
How to use Google Tag Manager with Google Analytics and track page views
How to track links and button clicks with GTM and send data to GA or any other analytics tool
