What is Google Tag Manager?

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a free Google tool that allows you to manage marketing and analytics tags without adding code to your website.


Operations such as ad conversions, analytics codes, remarketing pixels, and event tracking can be managed centrally through GTM.


Why is it Vital for E-commerce Websites?

In e-commerce websites, data equals money.


If accurate measurement is not done:


It is unknown which ad generated sales


It is impossible to analyze which products are being clicked


The cart abandonment rate cannot be measured


WhatsApp/phone clicks cannot be tracked


Thanks to GTM, all this data is collected systematically.


Most Critical GTM Use Cases in E-commerce Websites

Add to Cart

If these events are not set up correctly, ad optimization cannot be done.

Conversion transfer is done with Google Ads.
