How can I create tags with Google Tag Manager? 

Here is how you can create a tag on Google Tag Manager and track it via Google Analytics.

FAQ 

What is the difference between GTM and GA?

Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics (GA) are different tools with unique roles. GTM lets you manage and deploy marketing tags (snippets of code) on your website without changing the code. GA tracks and reports website traffic and user behavior. You can use Google Tag Manager as the tool to implement tags and then use Google Analytics to analyze the data those tags collect. Both work together to give you insights into your website's performance.

Is Google Tag Manager free or paid? 

Google Tag Manager is free to use. There is no cost to create an account, set up tags, or manage them. It does have a premium version. However, you will be able to achieve all your marketing goals with a free version.  

Do I need both GTM and GA? 

You do not have to create a Google Tag Manager account if you already have a Google Analytics account, and vice versa. These two tools work separately. However, using both Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics (GA) together is highly beneficial. GTM simplifies the process of adding and managing tags on your website. In the meantime, GA provides detailed insights and reports on your site's traffic and user behavior.
