How GTM Enhances Custom Reporting
- Event-Scoped Custom Dimensions and Metrics:
- GTM allows you to capture granular data points (e.g., lead score, product variant, user role) as custom dimensions and metrics.
- This data can then be used to create highly specific reports in GA4.
- Example: Track the “lead score” of form submissions or the “product size” of items added to cart.
- Codeless Event Tracking:
- GTM enables you to track events without modifying website code.
- This makes it easy to capture user interactions (e.g., button clicks, form submissions, video views) and send them to GA4.
- This is especially useful for tracking complex user behaviors that require custom event tracking.
- Enhanced E-commerce Tracking:
- GTM simplifies the implementation of GA4’s enhanced e-commerce tracking, ensuring accurate and comprehensive e-commerce data.
- This includes tracking product impressions, adds to cart, checkout steps, and purchases.
- PPC Campaign Data:
- GTM can be used to capture and send detailed PPC campaign data (e.g., ad group, keyword, creative) to GA4.
- This allows you to analyze PPC performance and calculate ROI with precision.
- Audiences:
- GTM can send data to GA4 that can be used to create very specific audiences.
- Example: An audience of users that have viewed a specific product page, and have a lead score higher than a specific number.
