Google Tag Manager Integration
Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a popular enterprise-grade tag management system. It allows you to manage all your website tags efficiently to understand critical metrics such as conversions and help you streamline your site.
With integration support for various third-party tags, you also get complete control over how your tags are defined and used.
What you can do with Google Tag Manager
Get the most out of the asynchronous tag firing so that they do not slow down your website
Leverage their intuitive UI designed especially for marketers with ease of use and security in mind
Use ready-made templates for Google as well as third-party marketing and performance measurement tags
Use custom JavaScript code and HTML tags for complete flexibility and control over your dynamic data
Fire specific tags for certain on-site events without needing any additional tracking code

In order to install GTM on your website, you need to embed the Google Tag Manager container snippet in your web pages. This snippet allows GTM to fire tags by inserting the gtm.js into the page. On the other hand, for mobile devices, you need to install the Firebase SDK for both Android and iOS apps, as per your requirement.
