Setting up Google Tag Manager for Beginners
If you are interested in using Goals in Google Analytics to track where your leads and other conversions are coming from, chances are you are going to need to set up and use Google Tag Manager (GTM). This tutorial provides a step by step guide for beginners.

Google Tag Manager is a free tool from Google that makes it easier to manage your analytics tracking codes. It also makes it easier to set up event tracking, which in combination with Google Analytics Goals, is used to track leads generated on your website. Once Google Tag Manager is set up and installed, anyone on your team can add tracking code blocks (e.g. tracking pixels) to the site or set up event tracking without the help of your website development team.
