How to Track Almost Anything with Google Tag Manager and WordPress

One of the advantages for businesses operating in the digital space is the sheer amount of data available, from search data to help you identify the types of keywords your target market is using or the topics and news your users are sharing on social media.

While you can collect this type of data from third parties, there is also a wealth of data that you can collect yourselves.

For many years now, Google Analytics (GA) has been the standard platform for on-site data collection and tracking. By default, it collects a significant amount of information, such as where visitors come from, the countries they are in, how long they spend on a web page, etc. However, if you want to get more specific information, such as individual links users are clicking or how long they view a video, then this would often require the assistance of a developer to add some JavaScript to the page. This would often slow down or completely prevent the tracking of some very useful data due to a lack of development resources.

With the advent of Google Tag Manager (GTM), this is no longer the case. This is an incredibly simple platform to set up on your site and from the admin interface you can track a significant amount of on-site user actions. For example, you can track all clicks on external links, mailto: links and clicks on downloadable files such as PDFs. You can even get as granular as to track the number of times visitors play, pause and watch your YouTube video embeds to the end.

Once the Google Tag Manager script is setup on your site you will very rarely, if ever, have to change the code on your site to set up tracking.

Here's how to set it up.

Signing up to Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

Firstly, if you don't have a Google Analytics account set up you'll need to sign up for that (it's free). It's fairly straightforward so I won't guide you through that. Once that is set up, visit Google Tag Manager.

Create a Google Tag Manager Account & Container

In Google Tag Manager, you will need to create an account before you do anything else. If this is the first time you are using GTM, then you should already be presented with an Add a New Account screen.

Add your account name, such as your business name

Type your business website address for the container name

Select Web for Where to use container

Accept the terms and conditions (if you agree, of course!)

Installing Google Tag Manager in a WordPress Theme

Once you have created you Google Tag Manager account, you will be presented with a snippet of code.

Installing Google Tag Manager into a WordPress theme is really easy. You can use a plugin; however, I still think it is best to paste the code snippet into your theme. Please note that if you are using a theme created by somebody else, then it is recommended to create a child theme to make edits such as this. If you don't, then you risk losing any changes you have made if the theme gets updated.

Open up your header.php file and copy and paste the code snippet from Google Tag Manager just after the opening tag as shown below:

https://gist.github.com/raewrites/b8702d8b021d9085adf5284a4f551ae3

The code above is an example of a Google Tag Manager snippet. Replace GTM-XXXXXX with your tracking ID.

Easy done! You now have Google Tag Manager Installed on your WordPress site.

Google Tag Manager Interface

The Google Tag Manager interface can be a little confusing if you haven't used it before. Here is a breakdown of each of the sections.

Accounts

This is where you just set up your account and container. Here you can add more accounts if you manage multiple websites and you can also create new containers. For example, if you also have a mobile app.

Container

This is where all of the fun stuff happens. Here you can see a dashboard with an overview of your tag manager activity and you can also navigate to tags, triggers, variables and folders.

Triggers

These are conditions that are either true or false depending on how variables compare with values you set when defining the trigger. Triggers are then used to fire tags.

Variables

Variables can be virtually any value and some are predefined. For example, the “url” variable always contains the URL of the page that is currently loaded.

Folders

These are simply a way for you to organise your tags, triggers and variables. You can create whichever folders you like and organise them how you see fit.

Versions

For those that have used any service like Git, this is essentially GTM's version control. Imagine you make some changes to Google Tag Manager and you end up breaking something, but you aren't sure what. Here you can re-publish one of the prior, working versions of GTM.

Admin

This section is what you would expect it to be. Here you can manage which users have access to your account, import containers, export containers as well as find your Google Tag Manager code snippet.

Your changes will go live when you hit the “Publish” button.

The Publish Button

One of the most important parts of the interface. None of the changes you make to your tags will be live until you press the “Publish” button.

Set up Google Analytics with Google Tag Manager

Now you know what each of the interface elements are, let's set up Google Tag Manager so Google Analytics will track visits to your site.

Setting up Google Analytics with Google Tag Manager to track standard pageviews is easy:

Open up your GTM dashboard

Click on Create Tag and select the Google Analytics template

Name your tag something like “GA Pageview” as this will be tracking pageviews and you can set up other tags for GA. Don't call it just “GA.”

Add your Google Analytics property ID, e.g. UA-XXXXXXXX-X

Select the track type Page Views

Choose your firing triggers, which generally will be “All Pages” for this tag, but feel free to select something else if you don't want to track pageviews with GA on every page

Now onto the fun stuff!

Event Tracking with Google Tag Manager

Event tracking in GA is a really useful feature for tracking user actions on your site. It can provide insights that will help you to make UX, UI and marketing decisions. You can track all manner of events, including external link clicks, video play button clicks and form submissions.

Events are made up of four fields: eventCategory, eventAction, eventLabel and eventValue. The first three fields are text and the eventValue field is an integer.

eventCategory – this is required and is generally the object that has been interacted with, i.e. a video

eventAction – this is required and should be how the user interacted, i.e. a click

eventLabel – this is optional and can be used as a form of categorising, i.e. the name of a video

eventValue – this is optional and is an integer used to represent some form of value, i.e. each lead gen enquiry on average is worth £50

Tracking mailto: Link Clicks

Let's get into our first event to track.

We'll track clicks on all email links, i.e. all links that contain “mailto:” within the “href” attribute. Why would we want to track email clicks? Well, we can't be certain an email is actually sent, but we can at least track which users have made an intention to send an email.

Setting this up is pretty easy and allows us to get some practice creating triggers and tags:

Create the VariableNavigate to “Variables” within your container

Navigate to Variables within your container

Ensure that Click URL (within Clicks) is checked

Create the Trigger

Navigate to Triggers

Click New

Name your trigger, i.e. Email Click Trigger

Under Choose event, select Click

Under Configure Trigger select Just Links

Leave Wait for tags checked and with a value of 2000 milliseconds

Leave Check Validation checked

Under Enable When select “Page URL” “matches RegEx” “.*”

Under Fire On select 'Click URL” contains “mailto:”

Click Save Trigger

Create the Tag

Navigate to Tags

Click New

Name this new tag, i.e. Email Click Tag

Under Choose Product select Google Analytics

Under Choose Tag Type select Universal Analytics if that is how you have set up your GA
1. Under Configure Tag choose/type the following:
2. Tracking ID is your GA tracking ID
3. Track Type select Event
4. Category can be anything you like but I would recommend something like “Email”
5. Action can be anything but I would recommend “Click”
6. Label should be {{Click URL}} but can be anything you like
7. Value – If you have an idea of how much value you would attribute to each email enquiry that you receive, then you can add that here
8. Leave the other settings as they are

Click Continue and under Fire On select the trigger that we have just created for mailto: links

Click Create Tag

That's it! It seems like a lot of steps but it's actually really quick.

Quick tip: You can track telephone number clicks the same way. Simply set up a new trigger for clicks on links that contain tel: and then create a tag to track the event in Google Analytics.

SITE MANAGEMENT

Manage multiple WordPress websites with The Hub

The Hub is your mission control for monitoring the vital stats of all your sites, including uptime, performance and security. Add as many sites as you want – including Multisite networks – and receive instant security alerts, run performance scans, and get notifications when any of your plugins or themes need to be updated.

Tracking Internal Link Clicks

We can track whether people are clicking on mailto: or tel: links, but what if we want to know whether people are clicking on a banner or whether they are clicking on a text link within an article? We can do that really easy within WordPress, GA and GTM.

There are actually a number of ways that we can set this up, but a really easy way is to make use of either class or id attributes. Before we set up anything in GTM, we need to make sure that the link we want to track either has a unique ID attribute or if it is multiple links of the same type, e.g. all footer links, then they should all have a class that is specific to them as a group (recommended) or each one would require a unique ID.

Depending on how your theme is built will determine the next step. If you can edit the links you want to track with the WordPress text editor, then it is an easy process to add an id attribute or class to your links. If you can't edit the link in the WordPress text editor then you may need to edit your actual template files to add the id or class attributes. Remember to create a child theme when editing your theme template files.

Create the Variable

In your GTM container dashboard, navigate to Variables

Make sure that you have Click Classes and/or Click ID checked

Creating a variable for internal link clicks.

Create the Trigger

Navigate to Triggers

Click New

Type in a name for this trigger, i.e Banner Click Trigger

Under Choose Event select Click

Under Configure Trigger select Just Links and leave Wait for tags and Check Validation checked

Under Enable When select “Page URL” “matches RegEx” “.*”

Under Fire On click Some Links

Select either Click ID or Click Classes (depending on whether you used ID or class attributes)

Select equals if using IDs or contains if using classes (sometimes you may want contains or matches RegEx for IDs as well)

Add either the ID or class of the link that you want to track into the text box

Click Create Trigger

Creating a trigger for internal link clicks.

Create the Tag

Navigate to Tags

Click New

Name this new tag, i.e. Banner Click Tag

Under Choose Product select Google Analytics

Under Choose Tag Type select Universal Analytics if that is how you have set up your GA

Under Configure Tag choose/type the following:
1. Tracking ID is your GA tracking ID
2. Track Type select Event
3. Category can be anything you like but I would recommend something like “Banner”
4. Action can be anything but I would recommend “Click”
5. Label should be {{Click URL}} but can be anything you like
6. Value – If you have an idea of how much value you would attribute to each banner click, then you can add that here
7. Leave the other setting as they are

Click Continue and under Fire On select the trigger that we have just created for clicks with the specified ID attribute

Click Create Tag

Finally, creating a tag for internal link clicks.

Easy. We now have events being fired whenever our specified banner is being clicked.

Quick tip: Click events can be tracked on any element, not just links. When choosing the options for Configure Trigger, select All Elements instead of Just Links.

Tracking External Link Clicks

What if we want to track all clicks on external links? Well, this requires a slightly different approach as we will need to create a new variable, but it's still very simple to set up.

Create the Variable

Go to your GTM container dashboard

Navigate to Variables

Within User-Defined Variables, click New

Name your variable, i.e. Click URL Host Name

Select Auto-Event Variable

Within Configure Variable select Element URL

Select Host Name from Component Type

Click Create Variable

Tracking external links needs to be set up slightly differently.

Create the Trigger

Navigate to Triggers

Click New

Name your variable, i.e. External Link Click Trigger

Under Choose Event select Click

Under Configure Trigger and Targets select Just Links

Leave Wait for Tags and Check Validation checked

Click Continue

Under Enable When select “Page URL” “matches RegEx” “.*”

Under Fires On select the Click URL Host Name variable that you had created previously

Select does not contain and then enter your website's domain name, i.e. example.com

Click Save Trigger

Next, you need to create a trigger... — Next, you need to create a trigger…

Create the Tag

Navigate to Tags

Click New

Name your tag, i.e. External Link Click Tag

Under Choose Product select Google Analytics

Under Choose Tag Type select whether you set up GA with Universal Analytics or Classic Google Analytics

Under Configure Tag choose/type the following:
1. Tracking ID is your GA tracking ID
2. Track Type select Event
3. Category can be anything you like but I would recommend something like 'External Link''
4. Action can be anything but I would recommend 'Click'
5. Label should be {{Click URL}} but can be anything you like
6. Value – If you have an idea of how much value you would attribute to each click (if any), then you can add that here
7. Leave the other setting as they are

Click Continue and under Fire On select the trigger that you have just created

Click Save Tag

And – you guessed it – you next to create a tag, too.

Easy. Google Analytics will now track every time someone clicks on an external link as an event.

Tracking YouTube Video Events

Tracking embedded YouTube events can provide useful information regarding which videos are actually engaging your visitors. Setting up YouTube embed event tracking is a little more complex than any of the GTM examples so far, but luckily there is a great repository on GitHub which solves many of our problems.

There are actually two ways to get event tracking working with YouTube video embeds using this repo. We will set this up using the more manual approach so that we can understand each of the steps involved. If you would like to use the other method, which involves importing a container into GTM, then please follow the guidelines in this repository's readme.

Create the Custom HTML Tag

Navigate to Tags

Click New and name your tag, i.e. YouTube Embed API Tag

Under Choose Product click Custom HTML Tag

Under Configure Tag copy and paste everything from this GitHub file into the HTML text input box (make sure you wrap this code with tags)

Click Continue

Under Fire On select All Pages

Click Create Tag

Creating a custom YouTube embed API tag.

Create the videoUrl Variable

Navigate to Variables

Click New and give this variable the name “videoUrl”

Under Choose Type select Data Layer Variable and click Continue

Under Configure Variable in the Data Layer Variable Name text input, type “attributes.videoUrl”

Click Create Variable

Create the videoAction Variable

Navigate to Variables again, unless you are already there

Click New and give this variable the name “videoAction”

Under Choose Type select Data Layer Variable and click Continue

Under Configure Variable in the Data Layer Variable Name text input, type “attributes.videoAction”

Click Create Variable

Create the Trigger

Navigate to Triggers

Click New and name the trigger “YouTube Video Event”

Under Choose Event click Custom Event and click Continue

Under Fire On in the Event Name text input type “youTubeTrack”

Click Add Filters

Enter “videoAction” “matches RegEx” “Play|Pause|Watch to End|25%|50%|75%”

Click Create Trigger

Create the Event Tag

Navigate to Tags

Click New and name your tag, i.e. YouTube Embed Event Tag

Under Choose Product select Google Analytics

Under Choose a Tag Type select whichever yours is

Under Configure Tag choose/type the following:
1. Tracking ID is your GA tracking ID
2. Track Type select Event
3. Category can be anything you like but I would recommend something like 'Video''
4. Action must be {{videoAction}}
5. Label must be {{videoUrl}}
6. Value – If you have an idea of how much value you would attribute to each video event (if any), then you can add that here

Click Continue

Under Fire On select All Pages

Click Create Tag

That's it! Publish your changes and then go to any page on your website that has a YouTube video embed. Play the video, pause and watch it to the end, then check your Google Analytics Real-Time events and you should see those events being recorded straight away.

Virtual Pageviews and Goal Tracking

Did you know that you can track virtual pageviews with GA? What are virtual pageviews? Well, the “standard” GA pageview is generally triggered when a web page initially loads; however, it is possible to create a virtual pageview in Google Analytics. This is tracked in GA as a pageview and you can set the URL path as whatever you would like.

You may be wondering why you would want to create virtual pageviews. Imagine you have a single page application (SPA) and a lot of the content is loaded dynamically via AJAX, then you are unlikely to be able to track this with a standard GA pageview. Virtual pageviews could be used to track AJAX content generation in this instance.

Virtual pageviews are also great for tracking GA goals that are set up for destination URLs. It is possible to set up GA goals for events, but you cannot set up funnels for them. Funnels can only be used with destination goals and sometimes a goal may not result in the visitor loading a new page.

A great example would be PDF files that visitors can download. In this instance you would have to set up virtual pageviews to track this download as a goal if you wanted to use a funnel. Let's take a look at how we would set that up.

Create Click URL Path Variable

Navigate to Variables

Click New and name this variable Click URL Path

Select Auto-Event Variable

Within Configure Variable' select Element URL

Select Path from Component Type

Click Create Variable

Create PDF Download Trigger

Navigate to Triggers

Click New and name this trigger, i.e. PDF Download Trigger

Under Configure Trigger choose Just Links for Target

Click Continue

Under Enable When select “Page URL” “matches RegEx” and type “.*”

Click Continue

Under Fire On click Some Clicks

Select “Click URL” “matches RegEx” and type “\.pdf$”

Click Create Trigger

Create PDF Download Tag

Navigate to Tags

Click New and name your tag, i.e. PDF Download Tag

Under Choose Product select Google Analytics and click Continue

Under Choose a Tag Type select the type of GA tag you are using and click Continue

Under Configure Tag, “Tracking ID” is your GA tracking ID
1. Track Type select Page View
2. Click More Settings
3. Click Fields to Set
4. Select “Page” as the Field Name and {{Click URL Path}} as the Value
5. You can optionally set campaignMedium; however, if you don't set this, “medium” will display as “none” in GA
6. You can optionally set campaignSource; however, if you don't set this “source” will display as “direct” in GA
7. You can optionally set title; however, if you don't set this the title in GA will be set to the title of the page the PDF download link is on
8. Value – If you have an idea of how much value you would attribute to each PDF download (if any), then you can add that here

Under Fire On click More and select the trigger we have just created

Click Create Tag

Publish your changes and you're finished.

If you click on any links to PDF files on your site, then these will trigger virtual page views that you can use to set up GA goals with funnels.

Wrapping Up

Google Tag Manager is a fantastic tool for tracking user actions on your site. Hopefully, this post has made it clear just how easy it is to collect a variety of data without needing much development, if any.
