Can I install multiple GTM in a particular web page?

[@rahatali2335]

I was Lost and finally I got this video. Thank you so much.

[@lindascoon4652]

Thank you. I love your videos. Straight to the point no long intro music, no time wasting. This is very nice for busy people.

[@user-if8jx6ul6n]

This video made me finally understand GTM. You the man!

[@Dramatello]

Very well explained and put together. Never knew why my conversions didn't work. Had absolutely no idea Google Tag manager has anything to do with it. Thank you.

[@dwaynepedals]

Wow thank you for this! Folks, you are leaving money on the table if you aren't tracking these actions on your website. Much love brother.

[@DanielaHuerta-cy8nz]

This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!!!!

Can you do a video on Dynamic Value Conversion? I haven't seen one of your videos that cover Purchase conversions dynamically and not just leads. Thank you. I appreciate all you do and all the education you offer.

[@cpas2525]

Great tutorial, this is exactly what I was looking for!

[@chrisariasnow]

Thank you so much for making this video. All other videos were a little too advanced. Talking about custom events, data layers, and all that. This was super simple and straightforward. Easy to implement. Thank you very much.

[@SahilMishraVlog]

I am loving each of your video...😊

[@brunocarlos802]

This is the very best video walking through the process. Thank you man!

[@davychai9516]

Too good, but here notice one possible mistake. if you are tracking conversion value, then don't use page view as the trigger type. use custom event. b/c a page view trigger type can only record number of conversions but not conversion value. I made this mistake before , FYI anyone else who is tracking dynamic conversion value.

[@harshitatrivedi402]

Hey! This is the same mistake I made - with the video I'm able to track number of conversions but the conversion values (ecomm sales) are not getting tracked. How do we go about this?

[@rehaayyildiz2]

Great video man. I hope you get back to KZbin soon.

Thanks for creating this awesome channel. Please create a tutorial for tracking calls on website both through call-only ads and calls made through calling the number on site.

[@Surfsideppc]

Thank you, I'm planning on creating more content around phone calls and call tracking in the future.

[@BrewtifulBeans]

Thanks for the info guides. I just follow all your instructions and Viola! It works! I'm a beginner with this. 🙂

[@terezaobrusnikova3402]

Thanks for the video, helped a lot to get started with GTM

[@umenakid]

Thank you guys a lot! It helped me 100%. Great video!

[@hoover440]

Thanks for the Video, can I ask why you would add the ads conversion to Tag Manager and not just use a Goal in Google Analytics, IS it ok to have both?

[@chrisneighbors3661]

This was really helpful, thanks a lot. You got a new subscriber :)

[@ahmedhejles6015]

Thank you for the great tutorial .. I could follow it easily and everything is working as expected

[@misterasnard622]

This was extremely helpful, thank you very much!

[@victoriaberman6653]

Why do you have a tag for both Tag Manager and Google Analytics? When I set up my account that way, it was double-counting visits. Do you need both? A big thank you for all these videos. They are incredibly well-organized and insightful, plus you get right to the point. One of the few channels with zero fluff and 100% knowledge..... that's not easy to do!

[@abythomas2836]

Probably because you have Conversion actions set up which would be tracking conversions both from analytics and ads together. In the video it's just two different tags set up in the tag manager, one for analytics and one for ads.

[@sandeepgodiyal1210]

Thank you very much. I was looking for this video.

[@TheJ11a]

Very helpful video. Thank You. I have a question: can we track purchases from Display campaigns with Conversion Tracking? Does Conversion Tracking work only for search campaigns?

[@Surfsideppc]

Thank you! It will work for your Display, Video, and Shopping campaigns in addition to search. Once you import or create your conversions in Google Ads, it will track them for each campaign type.

[@hitreviews3832]

If you have multiple thank you pages. How do we create tags and triggers. Can we add 2 triggers under one tag and if so how would google ads know which thankyou page conversion it is if there are different campaigns with different thank you pages. Please reply. Thanks

[@RohitSharma-hd3kv]

Hi Sir, Conversion code is already added on the landing page manually, but I want to set it up via GTM. So should I remove the first one or simply add the same conversion code on GTM. Will it record the same conversion twice if I add it via GTM, Or if I remove the already inserted conversion code will the previously recorded conversions be deleted?

[@sapnajohar2994]

Your Video really helped me. Thank you so much.

[@boondate]

thank you

[@the-morning-show]

thanks !

[@xKerilynn]

Hi there ! Can I set a the conversion tracking tag before actually publishing my very first google ads campaign ? I wanted to test ibeforehand and the tag doesn’t fire on my thank you page..

[@petwizard9697]

hello, if someone who is not coming through google ads goes into the confirmation page, will gtm post the conversion back to google ads?

[@Surfsideppc]

No, it will only count a conversion in Google Ads if someone clicks on one of your advertisements.

[@frootbottles7147]

Great!

[@gideonmicdare]

Thank you

[@Kevin-kj5th]

Great video. I have one question. The new google ads conversion tag will pick up all form submissions though correct? What I mean is how do we know if that lead came from running the ad and not just organic traffic for instance.

[@Surfsideppc]

Thank you! In Google Ads, the lead will tie back to your campaign and in Google Analytics, it will show the source of your conversions when you go to 'Acquisition > Google Ads' and when you go to the 'Conversions' tab it will show the sources of your conversions as well.

[@rakeshgarg127]

thanks for the information that's really useful for me ..

[@colinjohnson2560]

Do you have any videos setting up the tag when the tag category is "Purchase" and there is a dynamic value to each conversion? The product being sold is a computer which is a set price, but customers can also choose add ons when they buy this computer, such as a monitor or keyboard. So we want to track every purchase and know the exact value it brought in, which could be different with each purchase because of the add ons.

[@evacsog]

Hello, great video, thank you a lot. It might be a stupid question, but how many conversion linkers should i create, if i am using 2 tags for google ads: one for the form and another one for phone calls? I managed to fire the one for the form, created for all pages, but the second tag, for the phone call is not firing, nor the conversion linker no2. Here are some other variables: the trigger for the phone call is on link clicks equaling the phone number on the site and also the email. Or should i use css selector? I do not see how... Funny thing that i asked the Google support and they wrote that there is no support for the tags :))) Thank you.

[@wmafendi]

Good enough. I wan to ask, for testing Google Ads conversion, it must be from ads running actions??

[@peterwong612]

Hi, you guy said the trigger should be fired in some page, like /confirm/ page and when a user views this page, the trigger would be fired and send the data to Google Ads. But I have some confusions if this user comes from a organic source and fired this trigger, finally this conversion would also be sent to Google Ads? Through this is not a paid traffic? Thanks so much!

[@Surfsideppc]

The conversion will only be sent to Google Ads if the person clicked on a Google ad before they landed on the /confirm/ page. The way I have it set up is people will not find the page unless they go fill out my form or go directly to that page, and I've found that people rarely go to my confirmation or thank you pages directly.

[@peterwong612]

Surfside PPC Get it! Thanks so much! I have this confusion because after the GTM setting, you guy as a buyer purchase a product in your website, and we could see the purchase - GAds tag is fired, so I think no matter this conversion is a paid traffic or not, they would be always sent to GAds. Now, I know it is just a test.

[@evam.6465]

Can you please do a video like this for shopify?

[@zenitasdigital6313]

Hi. I need to track conversion for two separate campaigns on one Adwords account using tag manager. I have two thanks you page for each landing page on my ads. How do I set up conversion tracking for my two thanks you page so that conversion is track individually for each campaign? Thanks

[@yogatoday]

How much would you charge to handle this for us?

[@cheangaroo]

Quick question...Can we set it to trigger either when the user signs up for a "free trial" OR "signs up for a demo?"

[@e-reviews3658]

hey great content! :) what about if we wanted to track a conversion activity outside of our website, such as an affiliate sale, for example - someone has visited the affiliate sales page, how would we go on about tracking this? :)

[@consolecoast7897]

Hey man, good video. Do you have a tutorial on this but for forms that don't use a thank you page, e.g. contact form 7?

[@Surfsideppc]

Not yet, but I plan on updating my conversion tracking videos this year, so I will make sure I cover that topic in the future.

[@user-fb6dz2dx1z]

if you mean, using AJAX you need to set up a custom event. it's quite hard, it took me 3 days to figure out. I'll try to type what i did but it's hard: I have no experience with contact form 7, i use WP form. You need to make a custom event that triggers on an event that you need to script into your "thank you" message. The script looks like this : window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; window.dataLayer.push({ 'event': 'wpFormSubmit', 'formID': 'Simple Contact Form' }); Basically what it does is it triggers your custom event (which you will call "wpFormSubmit") when they get the thank you message. Try to search the script on google and you might find the article explaining this in detail since i cannot find it anymore. I'm quite sure there are other methods but this worked well for me

[@consolecoast7897]

Nicholas Mariani thank you that’s most helpful

[@rishikeshbharti499]

Sir, can you please make a video about how to set up Google ads conversion tracking for amp page. Because there is no video on KZbin on it and i am looking for it for so many days.

[@critiquestudios7741]

This worked great for me, except google analyitics didnt fire on my confirmation test. Could that be because I dont have google analytics installed on my back office yet? If so whats the best way to do this

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

Of the two snippets of code provided in the tag manager, one goes in the and one goes in the . When I paste them into those locations the tag assistant extension does NOT see anything. However, when I put the snippet of code into the it works just fine. WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN??

[@itenablersglobal8148]

When I click on "preview" in tag manager and reload my landing page it does not shows the tracking codes like yours. it says connecting and then never connects.

[@drewflynn6602]

Having this exact same problem. Getting stuck here

[@alessandroventuridd9159]

Hello! Apparently the user interface as changed, I am stuck in a step that is not present in your guide and cannot get the GTM choice. Are you planning to update the video? Thanks!

[@Gluxable]

So the tag fires every time someone visits the confirmation page? Not when the Google ad led to that page? Whats the point?

[@vikhyatpuri3850]

Hey what about if we want to track a different landing page, do we need to create the conversion tracking again?

[@aleksandrkarev9835]

Hi there! What if my website consists of several separate landing pages (8 landing pages, and each of this pages is also available in two languages: Russian and Latvian, making it 16 pages in total). On each landing page I have at least one Lead Generation form and some pages have two forms (at the beginning of the page and somewhere in the middle with different call to action buttons). So, my questions is - shall I create a separate Thank You page for each of my 16 landing pages or shall I create two Thank You pages (one in Russian and another one in Latvian language) and use them for all of my different landing pages - i.e no matter which form a person fills in, he or she will be re-directed to one of two Thank You pages. Thank you very much in advance!

[@JeremiahJens]

I followed your training exactly and when I hit publish I get 2 tags and 1 trigger every time. It seems to be missing 1 tag and 1 variable and I cannot figure out why. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I know I have Google tag manager installed properly on my capture page. So, I do not know what the problem could be? Thank you

[@PeterPetrakis]

I've done this and Ads still says the goal is unverified. I can reference the same tag from google analytics and I see those hits under the new goal I added there. I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working.

[@docdaven]

Where did the variable come from? It showed you set up a variable.

[@stefsterCA]

Let me ask you. On adding the confirmation URL. Can you add multiple confirm pages? I have a client that has 12 different forms and 12 different confirmation pages. Don't ask me why I didn't build the site, but man oh man it's not working and I'm wondering if that's why. Right now I have 12 pages added to GTM like so /your-offer-has-been-submitted/ /your-form-was-submitted/ /registration-was-submitted/ And so on. Are we not allowed to add every single one like that? Thanks in advance.

Hello great vid! I subscribed

[@Surfsideppc]

Thank you! My apologies for the late response. Do you have Tag Assistant installed? I would use that plugin first to make sure everything is installed properly (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tag-assistant-by-google/kejbdjndbnbjgmefkgdddjlbokphdefk?hl=en). If they are recording correctly in Google Analytics, they should record in Google Ads as well. You can try to set-up your Events as a Goal in Google Analytics and import them that way into your Google Ads account. Sometimes I will do a test conversion myself by clicking on one of my Google Ads and completing the conversion on my website if I can't get them to track into G Ads.

[@user-fb6dz2dx1z]

@@Surfsideppc yeah I do have tag assistant, and tags are firing, I simply don't get why they don't get tracked on Google ads. I might re-do the whole process, even though it bothers me
