How can I use GTM to add GA4 tags without editing site code?

Asked on Sep 27, 2025

Answer

Google Tag Manager (GTM) allows you to add Google Analytics 4 (GA4) tags to your website without directly editing the site's code. This is done by configuring tags within the GTM interface, which then injects the necessary tracking code into your site.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    1. Sign in to your Google Tag Manager account.
    2. Click on "Add a new tag" and select "Google Analytics: GA4 Configuration".
    3. Enter your Measurement ID from GA4.
    4. Set the trigger to "All Pages" to track page views across your site.
    5. Save the tag and publish your container.
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Ensure your GTM container is already installed on your website.
You can create additional GA4 event tags for specific user interactions.
Test your setup using GTM's Preview mode to verify data is being sent correctly.
Regularly check your GA4 reports to ensure data accuracy and completeness.
