What is the primary purpose of Google Tag Manager (GTM)?
Answer: To deploy and manage marketing and analytics tags on your website without editing code
Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that lets marketers add, update, and manage website tags (tracking codes) without requiring developer involvement.
In Google Tag Manager, what is a 'trigger'?
Answer: A rule that fires a tag when specified conditions are met
A trigger in GTM is a condition or event that determines when a tag should fire, such as a page view, button click, or form submission.
What is a 'dataLayer' in Google Tag Manager?
Answer: A JavaScript object that stores information about the page and user interactions, making it available to GTM
The dataLayer is a JavaScript array that acts as a communication bridge between your website and GTM, storing custom data that tags and variables can access.
What does 'publishing' a container in Google Tag Manager do?
Answer: Makes all tag, trigger, and variable changes live on your website
Publishing in GTM creates a new container version and deploys all saved changes to your live website, making them active for all visitors.
What is 'Preview Mode' in Google Tag Manager used for?
Answer: To test tags and triggers on your website before publishing changes live
Preview Mode lets you test your GTM container on your website in real-time, showing which tags fire and which triggers activated without publishing to production.
What is a 'built-in variable' in Google Tag Manager?
Answer: A pre-configured variable provided by GTM that captures common data like page URL, referrer, or click text
Built-in variables are pre-defined GTM variables that automatically capture common web data like page URL, click element, form ID, and scroll depth without custom setup.
