Metronet Tag Manager

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 35% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   My go to when getting Google Tag Manager set up on a clients site. Very simple and have had no problems setting it up on any of my wordpress sites. I prefer this plugin over similar plugins due to its simplicity and has been more secure than others. While it is simple, don’t assume it can’t handle the bigger projects. It allows the more robust tracking methods and practices some clients need that other plugins simply don’t offer. Just be sure to follow the installation instructions and you will be good to go!

   The plugin is helpful with installing Google Tag Manager. Works on WordPress multisite websites. The plugin is simple, straightforward, and more secure than a simple “insert headers or footers” plugin.

   I could not verifie the search console via tag manager using this plugin. It places the code in the wrong place. Maybe i did something wrong, but it’s something you should look in to.

   Okay, so I wrote the plugin, but the plugin is still awesome. It makes adding dataLayer variables a lot easier compared to other Google Tag Manager plugins. I hope this plugin can help you!
