Scroll Tracking with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4

[@Nat-cn3bx]

Thank you!!! I took a Google Analytics course / certification to figure this out and was left without an answer and you’ve provided a way in less than 10min! This GA4 transition has been a pain so I’m glad I came across your channel! I’ll definitely be using it as a resource for the rest of my set up

[@siyichen3437]

That's amazing. So clear and understandable. I was thinking it was complicated and difficult to implement scroll down tracking, but now so easy. Thx a lot!!!!!!

Fast pace analytics by Analytics Mania :D. The whole channel is quite useful, thank you Julius.

[@mana2k1]

I like the GTM scroll trigger combined with the timer trigger of say 60 seconds to track engagement. Thanks

Hi Julius, many thanks, helped a lot! Martin

[@簡Wendy-q8d]

so detailed! This helps me on GA4 a lot!!

[@baryflawless]

Thanks for this video. I set up scroll tracking. Something weird that I'm noticing is that the 90% scroll gets more hits than the 25%. Shouldn't the 25% scroll always have more hits than 90%? Any pointers here? Cheers.

[@Schmedium]

Hi! just set it up. 24 hours for it to show data from it, does that include even showing the event under reports and path exploration? as of now i dont even see the event. Best regards

[@LeoBallester]

thanks teacher very good class!

[@LeicaBLK]

Does this event count towards engagement on the page? for example if a user scrolls 10% are they now an "engaged session"? Our engagement rate is quite high and I suspect this might be the issue

[@puvadirakesh]

I like scroll values 25%, 50%, 75% and 90% is the best option to track the pages 10:13

[@vincentl5483]

My developer created a website, kind of like a slider, where it loads all pages in one load. Therefore, in GTM debug mode, it's showing 4 scroll depths as soon as I just reload the page in GTM debug mode. How can I fix GTM to only show 1 scroll depth at a time? Do I need to have my web developer to modify how they program the website? Please advise.

[@KidsBee_TV]

I have the same issue. All the time I open a page on debug mode (WordPress website), even if I don't do any scroll, all the percentage tags events are fired. :( Can you please give a help here Julius?

[@hozifatarek]

Thanks you so much ♥

[@dejanmobile]

Hi, super video. 1. For this Event, when the user scrolls, does the G4 record all scroll values 25% 50% 90% or only the scroll value to which the user max scrolls on page ? 2. how to make an event that records max scroll before leaving the page?

[@iljazabavin8557]

Hey Julius! Thank you for your helpful content! Might you be able to tell, is it possible to track single slide scrolling (i have vertical slider on my front page installed with couple horizontal slides as well)? Both vertical and horizontal slides moves forward with downside scrolling . Thanks forwardly for your answer and best regards!

[@aleksandra_privalova]

Julius, thanks a lot! 😊

[@TudoPraCabelo]

Aciu Julius!

[@Smallwebsupport]

Great video but is there a way to exclude links to anchored text on a page, which is a scroll on the page?

[@janniskuhrt2859]

Great video, thanks! I can't find the report in GA4 where the different percentages of scroll tracking are listed in a table, only in real time mode!?

[@AnalyticsMania]

You will need to build a custom report/exploration

[@GhostfireGaming]

Hello, All done, but under Custom Dimensions in GA there is no longer the option Scope "Event" in GA4 or GA. So, how can I add the scroll Custom Dimension?

[@AnalyticsMania]

1. There is still the Event scope in GA4. If you can't see it, maybe you are missing some permissions or something. But I just checked it and they are there. 2. The dimension for scroll percentage is now available by default in GA. Use it in Exploration reports

[@bobbykotick1163]

I'm having an issue where the tags are firing correctly in gtm and in the ga4 debug mode, but when create a table in ga4 of page title, scroll depth and sessions, the scroll depth values all display zeros. Please can you help me with this? Thanks

[@shalamajackson]

Love your videos and have implemented several things but scroll depth doesn't work for me. It's a trigger but when I hit preview debugger and come back it's not listed even after adding the trigger variables. Wish i knew what i did wrong.

[@summusmarketing6510]

have you submitted before testing?

[@enesvatansever7429]

Hi Julius, thanks for your video. I have a question. Maybe i don't understand, if like this, please send me the time in video about this. I want to track scroll depths in GA4 like conversions but i don't want to do this in "real time". For example i want to see how many people scrolled %75 in last 30 days in GA4. I hope i can tell my problem. Thanks a lot.

[@dormiredaghepa4824]

i had insert scroll event - in GA4 if i insert payment traffic i see percent of scroll correctly but if i insert campaign too i see NOT SET why? example: ROW (NO SET) SCROLL 25%:200 - SCROLL 50%: 160 etc... BUT ROW CAMPAIGN GENERIC SCROLL 25%: 0 - SCROLL50%:0... and so on why?

[@SmallBizGeekUK]

Did you actually publish the container? I saw you preview but not submit it. I read of people not seeing their events show up under. “All events” in GA4 and it seems it may be because they forget to click “submit” on the container in tag manager.

[@AnalyticsMania]

After everything is done, the container should be published again

[@AnaïsSCHNEIDER-l8v]

Question : is this method will be tracking the scrolls on each and every page of the website please ?

[@AnalyticsMania]

Yes, as long as GTM is installed on all pages

[@anaisschneider2344]

Thanks a lot for your quick answer ! ✨

[@alexanderyashyn8588]

Hey Julius Please tell me which Google Analitics report can be used later to find and analyse this data (for the first method) 😅 Best regards!

[@AnalyticsMania]

Events report or free form exploration

[@alexanderyashyn8588]

very informative video

[@MondayFeelings]

Hey Julius, thanks for the content. I have one issue with my site though. I have been trying to come up with a solution to differentiate scroll tags on my pages because of my comments. Basically, I set 80% for full post scroll. However, when I have many comments, full post scroll would actually be 50%, but others page it will roughly be at 80%. Is there another calculation to resolve that? Thanks

[@vishallondhe8946]

@Michael Tech Ninja where is some page option ❓❓❓❓

[@salufnascimentoPNL]

Hey Man!! Very good video. but I have doubts, I tried to do it a few times, but when I go to check the TAG preview, the Scrools are already loaded. And I didn't even move my page. What can be going wrong. Could you help me, please.

[@AnalyticsMania]

Some websites are built in a way that it prematurely fires all scroll events. In that case, you should use some custom solution like this www.bounteous.com/insights/2017/09/27/scroll-tracking-recipe-gtm/ and then delay the moment when the custom html tag fires (e.g. several seconds after the window loaded).

[@MDMEHEDIHASAN-fo8oi]

Thank you

[@pcbb8037]

Great video. All is working correctly, except: "not set" is one of the percent_scrolled values being reported, and is by far the largest. How can this value be accounted for? Event is set up for 25, 50, 75, 90. Could "not set" be 0%?

[@AnalyticsMania]

Hard to tell. This would require lookkng at the setup. Maybe something is missing.

[@AnalyticsMania]

Or maybe you haven't filtered to show only scroll events in your reports.

[@MondoCrypto]

Super Julius

[@santiagoortizceballos8256]

This just work for static pages or also for dynamics ones?

If you mean "single page applications", then this works only for static pages
