Delivery roadmapHow we deliver Google Tag Manager Audit.
Access and export
We request read access to your container.
Element inventory
Every tag, trigger, and variable is catalogued with its firing conditions, current status, and purpose, including any that appear orphaned or redundant.
Custom code review
All custom HTML and JavaScript is reviewed for edge cases, redundant logic, and anything that could break in production.
Performance and consent check
We measure each tag's contribution to page load and verify that consent signals are respected correctly across all GTM elements.
Report and walkthrough
Findings are documented in a prioritised PDF report. We walk through every issue with your team on a call so nothing gets lost in translation.
Overview
How to know if you need a GTM Audit
- You inherited a container from a previous agency or employee and are not confident in what it actually does.
- Tags appear to fire correctly but you have never verified this systematically across all consent states.
- Your site has slowed down and you suspect tag load is a contributing factor.
- Multiple teams or agencies have added tags over time with no consistent naming or governance.
- You have made Google or Microsoft consent mode or other compliance changes but have not confirmed whether tags still fire before consent is given.
What the GTM Audit covers
- Programmatic export analysis of the full container JSON: every tag, trigger, and variable.
- Naming convention review and identification of elements that do not follow any consistent pattern.
- Performance impact per tag: which tags contribute most to page load.
- Broken references: variables that point to deleted elements, triggers that fire no tags, orphaned sequences.
- Unused elements: tags, triggers, and variables that are paused or never fired.
- Consent compliance: which tags lack consent checks and which consent signals are incorrectly configured.
GTM Audit outcomes
- A prioritised findings report with a specific fix for every issue identified, not just a list of problems.
- A tag inventory spreadsheet showing the status and purpose of every element in the container.
- A walkthrough call to go through the findings together so nothing gets lost in the documentation.
GTM Audit scope and hours
- 4-12 hours across one or multiple similar containers.
- Read-only access to the GTM container is required.
- Delivery is typically within 1-2 weeks after access is granted.
What makes our GTM Audit different
- Every element is assessed, not just the obvious issues at the top of the container.
- Every finding includes a specific remediation step. You don't receive a list of problems without a path to fixing them.
- You don't pay for learning time. We know what to look for in a GTM container and where the common failure points are.
