Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a valuable tool that helps website owners consolidate their multiple tracking services into one, and gives a user one simple dashboard for all their analytics scripts.
1. Implemention of GTM
First, you need to create a Tag manager (Container ID) :
Create the Google Tag Manager container at:
https://tagmanager.google.com
Then you should create separate containers for the standard WordPress site and the AMP version.
creating the AMP container then you must choose container type= “AMP”
When creating the container for use with the NON-AMP then you should create a container type= “Web”
This means there will be different “container” / “container type” and different tags for the AMP and the non-AMP version of the site.
Follow the steps below to Add Google Tag Manager ( GTM ) in AMP for WP:
- From your WordPress dashboard, go to your sidebar. Head on over to AMP option panel -> Click on Settings -> Analytics -> Google Tag Manager
- Google Tag Manager: If you enable Google Tag Manager we can track particular tags on websites.
- Tag Manager ID (Container ID): In this field, you can enter the Tag Manager ID (Container ID).
- Advanced Google Analytics: If you enable this option you can Enter your Advanced Analytics code here inside this code you have to write account number for ex :(“account”: “UA-xxxxxxx-x”).
- IP Anonymization: By default, this option enables it will show the IP address
