I found most of the developers having a common problem of adding a tag code, snippets, pixels or script tag to their websites by that they can track events, re marketing, conversions, analytics and more. Google Tag Manager (GTM) introduce to resolve developers or publishers this type of issue. Google Tag Manager (GTM) makes you possible to add or update tags without having help of your developer.
Google Tag Manager (GTM) provides a full control to their users over how your tags are defined and when should fire. GTM quite easy to learn and much simple to manage if you understand the basics and flow of using that. If you're an SEO and you are managing tracking codes of multiple clients then its good time to start with GTM without having any delay.
