How Does the Google Ads Remarketing Tag Work?<\/h2>\n

The Google Remarketing Tag helps you to more easily create remarketing lists by allowing you to place one tag across all pages on your site. Once your tag is in place, you can launch remarketing campaigns in your Google Ads<\/a> account. Google tag manager helps to configure the user behaviors on your site or app. You can define triggers, <\/em>which are user actions that alert GTM so it can capture valuable data.<\/p>\n

For example, any time a user loads a page, clicks on specific buttons or submits a form. This event will trigger GTM to collect the data and send it to Google Analytics.<\/p>\n
