Introduction

Who Is This Book For?

“What is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?”

—Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Google Analytics is used on millions of websites to measure and understand user behavior. But for many of

those sites, implementation of Google Analytics goes like this:

1� Sign up for an account.

2� Paste the tracking code into your site template according to the simple

instructions.

3� View site data in reports.

That’s certainly better than no data at all! But stopping your planning there misses many of the most

powerful features of Google Analytics (GA): those that customize the data to your organization, your website,

and your audience. This book will show you how to measure special interactions, conversions, and other

types of data, so that you have reports and analysis with real impact.

One of the hurdles in further implementation can be IT resources necessary to deploy and test tracking

code tags on the pages of your website to make additional measurement possible. Google Tag Manager

(GTM) helps you overcome this hurdle by managing and deploying those tags from a web-based tool.

GA and GTM go together like peanut butter and jelly. While you can certainly implement all the things

in this book without GTM, GTM makes the process so much more streamlined and testable that it’s strongly

recommended for all GA implementations. Throughout this book, GTM will be introduced alongside GA

features, and you’ll learn about using GTM to implement them.

Do I Need to Be a Developer?

The title says “for Developers”, but what does that really mean?

Web analytics, by its nature, measures web pages. GA and GTM use JavaScript code to do that

measurement. Because of that, you should be familiar with the basic technologies that make web pages work

in your browser: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

But do you need to be able to sit down at a blank computer screen and code a fully functioning website

from scratch? Certainly not. The majority of work you’ll do involves adding a few lines of code here and there

to existing, functioning pages in order to measure some element of that page. If your job title is “Developer”,

you’ll have no problems, but if you work in marketing, content creation, or some other role, as long as you

have some basic HTML skills you should be able to follow along and implement the examples in this book.

■ IntroduCtIon

How Should I Read This Book?

Especially if you’re just getting started with GA & GTM, Part I: Implementing Google Analytics with Google

Tag Manager covers the basics you need to know about your implementation and getting the foundations of

your website measurement in place, along with the processes for deploying and testing. Even if you have an

existing implementation, Part I may provide a good refresher of basics, especially Chapters 3 and 4 if GTM is

new to you.

Part II: Enhancing Website Data with Google Tag Manager covers a whole variety of additional kinds of

data you’ll want to send to GA from your website, while Part III: Collecting Data from Other Sources provides

information about sending GA data from mobile apps, back-end systems, and more. The chapters of Parts II

and III are collections of topics for growing and enhancing your implementation that you can approach in

any order you like. Pick out the topics that are most valuable or highest priority for you and tackle those first.

Chapter 5 is a good starting point, as it covers a number of the most common kinds of additional tracking in

GA, as well as general approaches to implementation in GA and GTM. From there, feel free to skip around as

your interest or needs dictate.

The Bonus Chapter: Using GA with BigQuery for Big Data Analysis provides an overview of the newest

way of getting at your GA data, through Google’s BigQuery service, enabling deep statistical analysis and

data mining techniques on your website data. The Appendix provides an overview of GA and GTM APIs for

setting up and reporting on your data.

Links to Resources and Code Examples

Throughout this book you’ll find references to the GA and GTM documentation and other resources, as

well as numerous code examples. You can also find these, organized by chapter, at this book’s web page:

http://www.lunametrics.com/gtm-book/. This page includes a number of helpful resources, organized

by chapter:

• Clickable links to resources referenced in the text.

• Code for example tags and variables in GTM that appear in this book, provided in

GTM’s import/export format to easily bring them into your own setup.

• Resources to learn more about ancillary topics touched on in GA and GTM, such as

regular expressions.

• Links to further relevant examples, beyond those included in the text.

Summary

• This book teaches you best practices for Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

implementation.

• You don’t need to be a developer. You should have a basic understanding of HTML

and JavaScript.

• Read Part I for a strong foundation for your implementation, and then pick and

choose from Part II and Part III depending on your interest and needs.
