Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager lets you deploy and manage various tracking scripts and pixels on your site without digging into the backend code.
Tracking

We know this platform is in the spotlight, but the cameras haven’t quite rolled on our official review just yet. We’ve caught glimpses of its feature set—enough to recognize how it might fit into a marketing tech stack—but rather than improvising a shaky first impression, we prefer to spend time doing a thorough review—no early teasers that miss the mark.

If you’re already working with this platform or just considering it, we’re happy to share initial thoughts from similar tools we’ve tested and help you decide if it’s ready for a supporting role or a leading part.

Founder's Take

Google Tag Manager is the default tag manager you see everywhere for good reason—it's free, widely supported, and lets marketing teams manage their tracking without constantly bugging developers. But it’s not perfect; as soon as your setup gets complex, you'll inevitably end up back in Dev's inbox at least a little bit.

Why it's used

Book a 15-min chat

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is essentially a shortcut for marketing teams to manage tracking pixels and code snippets on their websites without constantly looping in engineering. Originally one of the earliest and definitely most adopted tools of its kind, GTM lets marketers add, update, or remove tracking tags (like Google Analytics, Meta pixels, or pretty much any advertising tag) directly through its interface, avoiding tedious code deployments. Because it's free, widely documented, and fairly intuitive for basic needs, it's become the go-to tool. Another strong suit is privacy compliance: it's easier to manage and audit your tracking when everything runs through a single place like GTM, especially paired with cookie consent platforms like OneTrust or TrueVault.
