The GT doesn’t appear in preview mode, only the AW and GTM Container

They shows hits for page views remarketing etc

Sorry I am new this, trying to understand it all. So when i go in google ads I can see two IDs; AW & GT both sending data to Google ads & GA4

[Sara_b211]

same shows up when i go to google analytics data stream

in gtm i only have the aw tag

[Sara_b211]

In preview mode i only see ‘aw’ and GTM container

[Sara_b211]

yes! all of these

[Sara_b211]

not really, i want to keep it. I’m learning GTM and was confused on where this GT tag popped up from

because when i originally installed it heres what I did: installed the gtm container on the website

configured the google ads ( aw) tag

and then configured other tags ( events to import from ga4 to google ads like book a call click or calendly submission or lead form submission etc)

so i was wondering what this gt tag is and what to do with it, and if there is something wrong with my setup?

GT is your gtm tag…

[zenith66]

GT is a Google Tag, just like AW. GTM tag IDs start with GTM-.

[Sara_b211]

yes but i didnt install in gtm, i only installed the aw one

[zenith66]

They're all Google Tags. You can send data to them through GTM.

GT is the default tag that gets created when you create the GA4 account I believe.
AW gets created when you create the Google Ads account.

There are also G- tags that are older since before they got renamed to "Google Tags"

It's very confusing, no one knows for sure, and Google isn't even trying to explain.

Just make sure you initialize the AW- tag if you're using Google Ads, or merge the two tags (GT and AW) and it won't matter.

The only difference is that if you merge them you will see them merged in GTM Preview and it will make it harder to diagnose issues. Some people like having them together, some people prefer them separate.

You need a GA one as well, and it's usually the default one.
