What Is the New Google Gtag.js & What Does It Do?
Google has just announced that they’ll be launching a new google tag that will apparently “unlock new capabilities to help you do more, improve data quality and adopt new features — without requiring more code."
So what exactly does this new tag do? Well, this tag will allow users to use a variety of google products and services without needing to connect individual Tags for each piece of software.
Here are some statements about the new tag from Google.
“Starting today and rolling out over the next week, the Google tag will unlock new capabilities to help you do more, improve data quality and adopt new features — without requiring more code.”
The new google tag will allow owners, managers, marketers and consultants to combine data from multiple google sources, localising them under the ‘Tag Manager’ dashboard. These changes should increase efficiency, reporting and data sharing between teams and contributors.
“Since it’ll be easier to set up sitewide tagging and combine or reuse tags, you can easily increase the number of tagged pages with consistent configuration. This helps improve measurement, leading to better-quality customer insights. You can also now manage user access to your tag settings across products in one dedicated place, giving you more control over who has access to critical measurement settings.”
According to Google, your current tags will be changed into the new Gtag.js. So users won’t need to remove their old tags and add the new ones manually.
How should you use the new google tag?
All marketers, owners and merchants must have google tags connected to their assets for tracking and reporting, this helps you and your team further streamline your funnels while giving you insights to improve your customers’ experience.
