This was helpful to me. I know GTM but your explanations and tips are going to save me some time and frustration. Thank you.

You are creating a fantastic channel. Someone like me, with an intermediate level of knowledge on the subject, finds plenty of valuable information here. I used to use a competing plugin, but after watching your videos—and I'm almost through all of them—I will be testing your plugin. Thank you, and please share more information.

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

[Lunar.cipher]

Wow! This is a lot of information at once and video is pretty fast. I got lost and confused and have so many questions. Will just have to rewatch over an over which ends up defeating the purpose. But thanks for the video. It helped upto a certain point then booom, confusion kicked in. 😢

[uday]

Very precise. It clears couple of my doubts.

This is very simple and super good tutorial. Thank you Jack.. i have a question, what if i want to track Hotel’s Booking Button where it goes to another URL after we click it? Sample: Almost local hotel’s website in every country they use third party booking system, if we click reserve / book on official hotel website then it goes to another URL which is a booking engine system URL.. can we track our G.ads campaign if the user has complete make a booking through other URL? Not our Thanking page URL?

The Google Site Kit plugin is another easy way, and it would be more helpful in some cases, as you've shown in your Google Analytics tutorial.

Anyways, thanks a lot for the walkthrough!

[BreatheThruRecovery]

Great video! Thank you. This will help me as I'm tightening up my website and learning more about tracking for both organic and paid advertising. Focusing on organic first, hahaha...

[lstephen]

Very useful! Thank you, subed and liked! However following your instruction, getting 'could not connect to my site' error. does the second code need to go into footer? actually even placing in the footer resulting the same error... I'm using free version of Astra theme WP.

[SkincealStudio]

[KaziZangu-xiyk]

Hello jack,

[imranzahid]

Is there any Google Analytics Tutorial from your end. BTW, Great Stuff.

[mind-blowing-facts-central]

For the newsletter submission form, if I dont add my details to the form but clicked the submit button, would GTM count it as a successful submission since I have already clicked the button, or the form submission needs to be successful for it to count and show up in GA4?

[ZMb]

Hi guys, thers a reason why he is using the google tag manager unofficial plugin instead o the Google Site Kit? Thanks

[jimmyfal]

One this confuses me. To avoid pasting code from GA4, and Tag Manager, AND Search Console etc. etc. on and on, if we are a WordPress site, shoudn't we FIRST install Google Site Kit, and then let Site Kit deploy Tag Manager, which will then setup GA4, Search Console etc. etc.? It seems like there should be more of an order to all this.

Although its nice to have GA4 inside Rank Math wouldn't it be cleaner to have Google Site Kit take care of all this code placement? What order do we do all this in to avoid code all over the place?

[BrendanWilliams-rvpo]

How do you set this up for a form that is embedded via an iframe? Do you have to have a 'thank you' page where it tracks page view instead?
