Hi everyone,
Following from my previous couple of videos, this week I am here to teach you about Google Tag Manager.
Google Tag Manager is a fantastic tool which allows you to add any custom tracking to your website without even having to touch the backend of your website (or pay a developer to) once it has been installed.
Google Tag Manager integrates directly with Google Analytics, so once you have added Google Analytics to your Tag Manager account, you’re all set!
If you don’t have your Google Analytics account set up or fully configured yet, check out Lesson 1 of the sequence – How to set up Google analytics
You can easily track page views, button clicks, form submissions, video views and much more!
Having this additional data at your fingertips allows you to reach back out to the people who perhaps visited your site with the intention of performing and action, but for one reason or another they did not convert into a paying customer.
So, less of the chit chat – let’s get into it!
p.s. as you probably now already know, I live in Thailand. The local workers started at the same time as my video, but the view behind me was so beautiful I didn’t have the heart to re-record the intro and lose the sunset. Luckily it’s only for a few moments!
This is the 2nd of a 5 part series of chapter one which is all about tracking. I talk you through the process of creating your Google Tag Manager account, installing it onto your site, setting up some basic tracking and testing it, live time to ensure that it’s all up and running before we go ahead and hit publish.
– How to activate Google Analytics Retargeting
– How to create your Google Tag Manager account/property

The next lesson in the series will be released next Friday, and covers properly setting up Google Search Console and submitting your sitemap, again with other relevant marketing advice along the way.
This will help to improve your SEO by showing Google what your website is all about, and preventing any broken links which result in your visitors seeing a 404 Page Not Found error – not ideal!
I hope you can make it, and look forward to hearing your feedback!
