Overall Satisfaction with Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is used at the most basic level to keep all of our pixels and firing actions in one place along with allowing us to control when and how they fire on a page. We use this repo as a great place for pixel audits to keep page load speed as fast as we can. Recently we have started using Google Tag Manager for click tracking on Google Analytics goals.
  • Version control of pixels
  • Easy to use
  • Help text
  • Visual representation of firing
  • Fast test time
  • Fewer developer hours
Small to large--if you have a web property, using Google Tag Manager will speed up your process. Even if you just have Google Analytics firing, you will need to add more later. Also, if you just have Google Analytics, you can more easily customize it and deploy quickly.
