I’d be happy to help you with GA4 Troubleshoot & Assist with Google Tag Manager. Here are some additional tips and best practices that may be helpful:

  1. Test your implementation: It’s important to test your GA4 and GTM implementation to ensure that data is being collected and reported accurately. Use the Google Tag Assistant Chrome extension or the GA4 DebugView to check if your tags are firing correctly and if data is being sent to GA4.

2. Use descriptive names: When creating tags, triggers, and variables in GTM, use descriptive names that clearly indicate what they are used for. This can make it easier to identify issues and troubleshoot your implementation.

3. Use the data layer: The data layer is a JavaScript object that stores information about user behavior, such as pageviews, clicks, and form submissions. Use the data layer to send this information to GTM and GA4, rather than relying on DOM events or other methods of data collection.

4. Set up error tracking: Use GTM to track errors and exceptions that occur on your website or app, such as 404 errors or JavaScript errors. This can help you identify issues that may be affecting your user experience and website performance.
