    Note: The Container ID will start with GTM — followed by a random combination of letters and numbers, e.g. GTM-AB12C3D.

Now you're ready to proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Paste Your GTM Container ID in Sitebeat

Creating a Google Tag Manager Account & Container ID

If you don't have a Google Tag Manager account yet, you will need to sign up for an account, create a Container ID, and then connect it to your Sitebeat website with the instructions under Step 2 above.

To sign up for a Google Tag Manager account and create a Container ID, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Google Tag Manager webpage.
  2. Click Sign in to Tag Manager at the top right-hand corner of the page, and then select Create Account.
    You can also simply click on the Start for free button beside it.

    Note: If you haven't signed in to your Google or Gmail account yet, you will be prompted to log in. Enter your account's username and click Next, and then enter your password and click Next, to continue with the Google Tag Manager signup process.

  3. In Account Setup, enter a new Account Name in the field provided, and then select your Country from the drop-down list.
  4. In Container Setup, enter a Container Name in the field provided, e.g., www.myadvertisement.com
  5. Select the applicable Target Platform, and then click Create.
  6. Review the Google Tag Manager Terms of Service Agreement, and then click Yes.
  7. A pop-up window will appear with codes that you can copy and paste onto every page of your website. Since you only need your Container ID to connect your Google Tag Manager account to Sitebeat, ignore this, then click OK.
  8. Manually take note of the Container ID found at the top right-hand section of the page beside Workspace Changes. The Container ID will start with GTM — followed by a random combination of letters and numbers, e.g. GTM-AB12C3D.

You've just created a Google Tag Manager account and a Container ID. Now you're ready to link it to your Sitebeat website using the steps above.
