GTM Implementation Tag Audits Data Layer Setup Server Side Tagging Event Tracking Custom Data Layer

Google Tag Manager Setup & Management

Google Tag Manager is the backbone of your marketing measurement. When it's misconfigured, every downstream decision is based on bad data. I make sure your GTM setup is clean, accurate, and built to scale.

The Problem

Most GTM containers I audit are a mess, with duplicate tags, broken triggers, missing data layers, and zero documentation. The result? Inaccurate conversion data, inflated audiences, and ad platforms that cannot optimise because they are getting garbage signals.

My Solution

I rebuild your GTM setup from the ground up or surgically fix what's broken. Every tag fires correctly, every event passes clean data, and your marketing platforms finally get the signals they need to perform.

What's Included

Every engagement is tailored to your needs. Here's what a typical project covers.

Full GTM container setup and configuration
Data layer architecture and implementation
Event tracking for clicks, forms, and purchases
Server side tagging (sGTM) deployment
Tag audit and cleanup for existing setups
Custom trigger and variable configuration

How I Work

A clear, structured process from audit to delivery.

1

Container Audit

I review every tag, trigger, and variable in your GTM container. I identify what's broken, what's redundant, and what's missing.

2

Data Layer Design

I architect a clean data layer that captures the events and parameters your business actually needs, no bloat, no guesswork.

3

Implementation & QA

I build and deploy your new setup with rigorous testing. Every tag is validated in preview mode before going live.

4

Documentation & Handover

You get full documentation of your tracking setup, plus a walkthrough so your team understands exactly what's running and why.

Tools & Platforms

I work with the leading tools in the analytics ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about my gtm setup services.

Can you fix my existing GTM setup or do I need to start over?
It depends on the state of your container. In most cases, I can clean up and fix what's there. If the setup is fundamentally broken, I'll recommend a rebuild, but I always start with an audit so you know exactly what you're dealing with.
What is server side GTM and do I need it?
Server side GTM processes your tracking through your own server instead of the visitor's browser. It improves data accuracy, extends cookie lifetimes, and makes your site faster. If you're running significant ad spend or care about data quality, it's worth the investment.
How long does a GTM setup take?
A standard setup takes 1 to 2 weeks. Complex implementations with server side tagging and extensive data layers can take 3 to 4 weeks. I'll give you a clear timeline after the initial audit.
Will changes to GTM affect my website performance?
Properly configured GTM has minimal impact on site speed. In fact, cleaning up a bloated container often makes your site faster. I follow best practices for tag firing and loading order.
