With the integration of Google tag with Google Ads and Google Analytics, it will become more accessible to utilize Google Tag all over the website. The Sitewide tag is a code that produces cookies when visitors to your website execute an activity. These information pieces are kept on the same domain as your website and are first-party data because you and the user are the only parties involved in the interaction.
The Google tag is the simplest way to gain visibility into paid media conversions. The Google tag (gtag. js) is a single tag that is added to your website to enable the use of various Google goods and services. You may use the Google tag throughout your website and link it to many destinations instead of maintaining individual tags for different Google product accounts. It is compatible with Google Ads, Marketing Platforms, and Analytics.
Importance of Sitewide Tagging
Digital marketing relies heavily on measurement. As the holidays approach, ensuring proper tracking of your online purchases, reservations, and leads is more critical than ever. To that end, we wanted to bring your attention to an important update: the recent addition of Intelligent Tracking Prevention impacts conversion measurement on Safari. It is critical to update your website tags as soon as possible to enable conversion measurement from Safari. Website tags are consistent with Apple’s ad attribution recommendations.
It will be impossible to assess the effectiveness of your marketing initiatives unless your tags are updated.
- Site-wide tagging keeps your content visible
There are several methods for measuring the effectiveness of your internet advertising. If Google Integrates the Google Tag with Google Ads and Google Analytics, the best strategies rely on site-wide tagging, applied to all pages on your website. Using the tag on each page of your site maintains your measurement up to date and allows you to track conversions more precisely, even in Safari’s ITP environment.
In DoubleClick Search, there are two possibilities for measuring total conversions from Safari:
Option 1: Install the global site tag (gtag.js) throughout your website
The global site tag is a new online tagging toolkit that works across Google’s site and conversion measurement tools, offering you more flexibility while simplifying implementation. The new tag by Google Integrates will be the single tag for Google Ads and Google Analytics, with DoubleClick Search support coming in mid-November. The global site tag will convey conversion data whenever an event call occurs if it is set on every site page and includes event snippets on your active conversion pages.
Option 2: Make use of Google Tag Manager
Customers using Google Tag Manager don’t need to modify their sites—add the Conversion Linker tag to the Tag Manager interface and configure it to fire on all pages. You may start right now if you aren’t already using Google Tag Manager. Alternatively, you may begin with the global site tag (option 1) and upgrade to Tag Manager later.

- Using DoubleClick Search to estimate untracked conversions
DoubleClick Search employs statistical modeling to assist you in correctly measuring and acting on your conversion statistics. Statistical modeling collects website conversions for non-Safari visitors and puts them in your DoubleClick Search analytics. Where site-wide measurement is not used, we will continue to apply statistical modeling in DoubleClick Search. On the other hand, site-wide tagging will allow you better to analyze your marketing effectiveness across all DoubleClick products.

Google Tag Manager is available now, and the new global site tag will be available mid-November. Customers employing these two measurement solutions in Campaign Manager and Bid Manager will witness improvement in measurement coverage over the coming several months.
