Setting Up Our Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics Account – V1

Written by: JJ Reynolds
Lover of both data & having a good time. I spend my days creating bombdiggity reports🤘🏽 that knock the socks off our clients and help them take action faster than ever before through dynamic Looker Studio Dashboards!

Architect The Perfect Dashboard Every Time!

Publish better dashboards every time by following these 8 criteria to WOW your Boss, clients, & self!

Figured might as well put all of the information we have in 1 place.

This is me setting up Google Analytics and Tag Manager BASICS…. Like super basic.

I go fast, so hopefully its not too crazy. This is more for me to document my building of this website.

Links & Resources I mentioned

Custom Task for Client ID: https://www.simoahava.com/gtm-tips/use-customtask-access-tracker-values-google-tag-manager/

Elementor On Success: https://developers.elementor.com/forms-api/

// The Code I used 
<script>jQuery( document ).ready(function( $ ){
	jQuery( document ).on('submit_success', function(){
	
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
window.dataLayer.push({
 'event': 'elementorFormSubmitted'
 });
	});
});</script>

What’s next?

We will be tackling:

  • Our convertbox quiz which is at the bottom of every page
  • Our advanced quiz,
  • The rest of the custom dimensions (Hit ID, Session ID, Post Category, and a few more)
  • GA Filters I like to use 🙂
  • Removing PII
  • Tag Manager Templates
