Easily Track Button Clicks in Google Analytics 4

[@JohnFrazier]

I've created several banners on my website and wanted to see how many of each ad were seen, and how many were clicked. I used this tutorial to set it up. Thank you!

[@jimsowter]

I have watched many tutorials recently on GTM and this has been hands down the best so far! Many thanks!

[@vora8491]

good stuff dude made it really clear to understand, good pace, clear and articulate thank you very much

[@juliaf9503]

The first clear GTM tutorial I see, thank you!!!

[@contentmastery-io]

The best tutorial channel for GTM & GA4, thanks so much!!

[@jchambo86]

This tutorial was great. Thank you for this series!

[@MarielleReyes-c9o]

So helpful! By far the easiest GTM tutorial I've watched. Thank you!

[@ColeConsulting]

Thank-you so MUCH! You are the BEST at this! Easy to follow, concise, logical, and thorough. Mahalonuiloa! :)

Hi, i am on 8:00 and i do not see that measurement ID you chosed on my Site, or anything similar to it.

[@atifmahmood85]

you need to define GA4 as constant, and it will start appearing!

[@jpg_6]

Thank you for an easy to follow tutorial!

[@PPCAdEditor]

Thanks for simplifying the process and making it accessible for all levels of expertise.

[@SilverMuseGaming]

Thank you so much for this. It helped a lot ^^

[@atifmahmood85]

you're the best mate!

[@chaseoconnor9020]

I don't have a GA4 Measurement ID variable to choose from.

[@Leaderzikos]

go to google analytics you will find yours

[@HippoMod]

Very helpful!

[@DustinStingl-e4q]

Like some others - I don't see the event passing through correctly to Google analytics in the bugger. The tag fired correctly, with event name of "click_button_prelaunch_offer", but when looking on the Google Analytics Tab in the debugger, the click event just says "click". I was able to set up the correct GA4 Measurement ID constant variable - but it seems to not register the correct event to Google Analytics in the debugger. Any help is appreciated! :)

[@davidjuhasz7245]

Does it work even when the data.layer is not sending any data and we only have a popup with a button on it? - like "Sign up" or whatever?

[@virathedon]

Hey! Love your videos! For this video, in the MEASUREMENT ID, where can we create one ? I watched 3 of your videos but none of them included this. Maybe you can point it out? Thanks!!!

[@juancortes-mf7pj]

Need help with this too!

[@RoseGamilton]

Hey! Can you please advice if I track the same button but on different pages?

[@ryanjd2826]

What should I do if the click tag fired did not sent hits on GA4? Shall I use different variable instead?

[@gbeinl]

Hi Benjamin, Why would you disable the not used built-in variables afterwards? For speed reasons or why? Can I just leave them activated or even just activate all the built-in variables once and leave it at that?

[@RetroedicolaVideoludicaClub]

Grazie mille del tutorial veramente chiaro, avrei una richiesta di chiarimento: il sistema funziona male generalmente con wordpress+elementor, non vengono rilevati gli ID inseriti (o ID Button o ID Class), avrebbe qualche suggerimento in proposito?

[@BradWillnospace]

How come we choose Form Classes instead of Click Classes?

[@hafifrahmanjd]

it's only for search button? if many button to track, for example to button "subs" di pricing page how to do? please helps.. thank you

[@kasamap.3671]

My event does not show in user engagement section. Maybe I have to wait for a while 😅 Thanks for your VDO!

[@JasmaMody]

Hello what is the reason GA4 reports lesser clicks than actual sign ups (form submission) on our CRM?

[@precilaahmed4981]

What if we have similar name button on multiple pages on the website? For example multiple “Apply Now” button on various short course pages. How will wr differentiate them?

[@KayroValero]

You simply need to assign a unique ID or css Class to each button in the code to distinguish them effectively.

[@PPCAdsdigital]

We don't have Thank You Page & don't have GTM too, then how we can create event in GA4. our form is created in Jobber.

[@Adam-vq1zz]

Thanks for the video! One thing I'm struggling with: I have followed all the steps but the output of my tag is not firing anything (the buttons I did this for). Do you have a fix for this?

[@justinsouthwick2050]

This helped me tremendously, Thanks. I have a plugin installed that adds mobile buttons for mobile viewing (these buttons open the default email, sms and call functions on a mobile phone) but when I click on one of the buttons eg. call, sms, or email it does not send any events to GTM. Have you any ideas of how I can find these events or somewhere I can learn more about this type of tracking?

[@jaymarshall365]

As always great info. Thanks for sharing.

[@LovesData]

Glad you like it!

[@ivannamatsyupa3162]

HI, I followed your guide, however it did not work in my case. Do you have any tips on troubleshooting?

[@alexanderfunck3392]

Thanks a lot!

[@LovesData]

You're welcome!

[@jaymarshall365]

'd love to see a video explaining how to set up conversion tracking for button clicks within Google Ads. Would you be able to create one?

[@LovesData]

You can use exactly the same technique from this video to create your trigger. Then just create a Google Ads conversion tag instead of a GA4 event tag.

[@sergiolisias9330]

Awesome!

[@MeghanCreative]

Thank you for this! Question-is there a reason you wouldn't just leave all the variables enabled?

[@YassineAakam]

Benjamin is the best!👍

[@LovesData]

That’s very kind. Thank you!

[@JohnRichardHewittFineArt]

Excellent :)

[@mugiirakimathi6299]

How do I now make that action a key event? Great tutorial btw!

[@panosalp]

Hello, I cannot find the initial menu for triggers on Google Tag Manager. I am actually viewing a different UI. Any idea why? - I actually had to create a new tag from scratch, my existing tags did not provide such functionality. Will try the solution, thanks a lot anyway!

[@mhdhs25]

Hi Benjamin . I have tried more then 30 times to connect google tag , the connection is ok , but when I want to see preview , I get message : Google Tag XXXXXXXXX not found , Please verify that the tag: Is installed on this page Is not being blocked (by a browser extension or a consent dialog). please can you help me . thanks

[@FlashGame28]

Hello Guys, here for help... I followed step by step the tutorial, but can't find my "click button" on GA4 analytics on explore, any idea? thank you for the tutorial btw!

[@madatala-mahesh-reddy]

Thanks guru

[@michaelfoster4479]

It makes me giddy to know you probably saw me googling this about 2 weeks ago, (amongst others) and created content around it. I might be assuming, but I think I'm right.

[@dipeshlodhari5286]

Hi Ban, I hope you are fine. I've noticed an issue on the Contact Us page. When I click the "Get Directions" button, the WhatsApp button is also triggered. Could you please look into this and provide a solution? I don't want whatsapp Button click to fire. How can I solve this?

[@ShrinivasNaik]

Hey Benjamin, thanks for the great tutorial, I just have a doubt, suppose if we want to track 3 button clicks (with different classes) then we would need to create 3 triggers and 3 tags in GTM right? Thank you

[@zhanbolatmukan2049]

Hello, did you find an answer? this is my case now too :)

[@ShrinivasNaik]

@zhanbolatmukan2049 i created individual tags and triggers to track 3 button clicks 🙂

[@mostafakatongo9602]

Thanks Benjamin

[@leoxlibra]

Thank you

[@ErwanCorre]

Merci ! ;-)

[@GiorgosSidiropoulos-l1h]

But why track Form Classes instead of Click Classes? You want to track clicks, right..?>

[@LovesData]

We’re still using a click trigger, but listening for the button click within the form. You can also use the click class if you like though - you can see it in the variables tab when we review the options in Tag Assistant.

[@GiorgosSidiropoulos-l1h]

@@LovesData Thank you!!
