Limitations of default Magento

With the default Magento 2, it is impossible to integrate Google Tag Manager and other tools such as Google Analytics, Google Adwords, and Facebook Pixel to your store. In addition, there are also more limitations:

  • Requires lots of effort to add and edit tags: The workload will be overwhelming, together with a requirement to be savvy in technology
  • Cannot track a wide variety of data: Each store owner demands a different data to better manage the business. However, it is impossible to track various data at the same time.
  • Cannot comply with GDPR and other data regulations: You cannot opt out of Google Analytics to protect customer privacy.
  • Need to take remarketing actions manually: The data cannot be shared with Google Adwords to be used for future remarketing plans.
  • No visualized reports: The results are not displayed and compared in an easy-to-understand report …and many more drawbacks.

Now let’s see how these Magento 2 Google Tag Manager solutions by multiple vendors can assist your data measurement and management:
