On zingfit, you can choose either Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager for tracking customer journeys. If you are not familiar with the differences between these 2 options, the following information will help you decide.

Google Analytics

For a basic understanding of where your website visitors are coming from, which pages are the most popular, and overall website conversion rates, Google Analytics is sufficient.

Pros:

  • Free

  • Relatively easy to set up

Cons:

  • Does not track your logged-in customers individually

  • Not possible to track custom events

  • Difficult to build advanced data integrations

Google Tag Manager

If you or your staff have a more advanced understanding of marketing analytics, Google Tag Manager allows you to segment your data more effectively. It’s a better choice for larger, more complex businesses.

Pros:

  • Free

  • Offers the ability to track your logged-in customers individually

  • Includes customizable events and advanced data handling

Cons:

  • Relatively difficult to set up, if you have not used it before

  • Usually requires an on-staff or 3rd-party expert to maximize and maintain
