Measurement · Google Tag Manager

A Google Tag Manager audit for containers nobody fully owns anymore.

An independent senior review of your GTM container — tags, triggers, variables, duplication and consent — so you know what’s firing, what isn’t, and what’s quietly corrupting the numbers you report.

  • Find tags firing twice, firing late, or not firing at all
  • See what years of accumulated changes are actually doing
  • Get a container you or anyone else can safely work in

Toronto consultancy since 2006 · Read-only — nothing is published to your container

Most containers aren’t badly built. They’re well built, then changed forty times by people who have since left.

Why containers drift

Sound familiar?

Nobody set out to build it this way. It accumulated.

The container has tags nobody can account for and nobody is willing to delete.

Several people and agencies have had access over the years, with no change log.

Conversions fire more than once and the count has quietly inflated.

Tags broke after a site change and nobody noticed for weeks.

Consent handling was added later, bolted onto logic that assumed it wasn’t there.

Publishing anything feels risky because nobody is sure what depends on what.

What the audit covers

Six areas reviewed. One prioritized document.

Reviewed personally by a senior consultant, against how your site actually behaves — not exported from a container scanning tool.

01

Container inventory

Every tag, trigger and variable accounted for, including what’s live, what’s paused, and what’s orphaned.

02

Tag & trigger logic

Whether tags fire where they should, once, and in an order that produces correct data.

03

Duplicate & conflicting events

Where the same action is counted more than once, and what that is doing to your conversion totals.

04

Consent handling

Whether consent state is respected correctly, and what that means for what you are allowed to collect.

05

Data layer quality

Whether the data layer gives tags what they need, or whether tags are compensating with fragile selectors.

06

Access & governance

Who has access, how changes are reviewed, and what should change so the container doesn’t drift again.

What changes

A container you can safely change.

You know what’s actually live

An accounted-for container means publishing stops being a risk somebody has to absorb.

Conversion counts stop inflating

Removing duplicate firing usually changes the reported numbers, which is the point of checking.

The next person inherits something documented

Access, logic and dependencies written down rather than carried in one person’s memory.

How it works

Four steps. About a week. No obligation at the end.

01

Request

Two minutes on the form. We confirm fit before anything else happens.

02

Read-only access

View access to Google Ads, and ideally GA4. Never edit rights. Revoke any time.

03

Senior review

About five business days, reviewed personally — not run through an automated audit score.

04

Findings walkthrough

A 30-minute session and a prioritized document. Act on it yourself, with your agency, or with us.

Before you ask

The questions everyone asks first.

A full container inventory, tag and trigger logic review, duplicate event detection, consent handling, data layer quality and access governance — delivered as a prioritized document.
Yes, and there is no obligation. The findings are yours regardless, including to hand straight to your current agency or developer.
Read permission on the container, plus GA4 and Google Ads if you have them, so a tag can be checked against the data it is supposed to produce rather than against its own settings.
No, and it is rarely anyone’s fault. Containers drift because people and agencies change and the person who knew why a tag existed has usually moved on. Accumulated turnover, not negligence.
Nothing at all. No version is published and no tag, trigger or variable is edited. Everything found is written up instead, and any build work is quoted separately.
Around a week of working days once permission comes through, plus thirty minutes at the end to talk through what matters and what can wait.
Yes. Read permission only, scoped to this audit, and withdrawn by you whenever you like. Nothing about a client is published, including on this page.
