Questions to Ask Yourself Before Starting the Implementation

1. What events and conversions do I want to set up?

Think about the events and conversions you want to track. These events and conversions can have both marketing and analytical purposes. Carefully consider what you want to see in your analytical reports, which conversions you want to advertise on, and which events you want to retarget.

Events

Events refer to different interactions on your website that are triggered by specific actions. For example, when someone fills out a form, clicks on an important call-to-action button, or watches a particular video. These steps are part of the customer journey and are important to track. For WooCommerce sites, DataLayer events are already available for all eCommerce steps like view_item, add_to_cart, etc.

Conversions

Conversions refer to events that are seen as the end point of the customer journey. This could be a purchase or scheduling an appointment. On an eCommerce site, this is the ‘purchase’ conversion, but it could also be a ‘generate_lead’ conversion after filling out a contact or newsletter form on standard WordPress sites.

1. Which CMP (cookie banner) will I use or set up?

To ensure GDPR compliance and respect the consent given by visitors, you need to handle their consent settings in Google Tag Manager. We’ve also written a blog article on this if you want more information: https://www.adpage.io/post/cmp-instellen-via-gtm-icm-sst.

If you haven’t yet decided which CMP to set up, we recommend Cookiebot.
