Google Optimize

Set up an Optimize tag with Tag Manager.

Google Optimize allows you to test variants of web pages and see how they perform against an objective that you specify. It monitors the performance of your experiment, and tells you which variant is best.

Before you begin this configuration in Tag Manager, ensure that your web page code is ready to handle Google Optimize tags:

  • For best results, implement the JavaScript portion of your Tag Manager container snippet as high in the <head> of the page as possible. Learn more.

  • Install the Optimize anti-flicker snippet on pages where Optimize will be deployed.

  • Ensure that any dataLayer declarations appear before the Optimize page-hiding snippet and Tag Manager container snippet. Learn more.
