What It Does

GTM lets you deploy marketing and analytics tags through a web based interface instead of hardcoding them into your website. This means faster implementation, easier debugging, and no reliance on development cycles for tracking changes. I use GTM as the foundation for every client's tracking setup because it gives me, and you, full control over what fires, when it fires, and what data it sends.

Why I Use It

GTM is the industry standard for a reason. It separates tracking implementation from website development, which means I can build, test, and deploy your entire measurement setup without touching your codebase. Combined with server side GTM, it provides the most reliable and flexible tracking foundation available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Google Tag Manager implementation.

Do I need a developer to use GTM?

Not for day to day management. I set up GTM so your marketing team can manage basic tag changes. For complex implementations like server side tagging or custom data layers, that's where I come in.

What's the difference between client side and server side GTM?

Client side GTM runs in the visitor's browser. Server side GTM processes tags on your own server, improving data accuracy, site speed, and resilience to ad blockers. I recommend server side for businesses with significant ad spend.

Can GTM slow down my website?

A properly configured GTM container has minimal impact. In fact, consolidating tags through GTM often makes sites faster than having scripts scattered across the codebase. I optimise tag firing and loading order for performance.

How do you handle GTM for multiple websites?

I can set up shared containers, workspace permissions, and consistent naming conventions across properties. Each site gets its own container with standardised architecture for easy management.
