Google Tag Manager
-
Has anyone used Google Tag Manager and do you feel it is worth it?
-
I'm lucky, my business partner is a developer and he is fantastic with code.
Hence why I have such a good content manager system, especially for SEO purposes.
I'm not a fan of WordPress or Drupal so Google's Tag Manager will come in handy if and when I have to deal with a website using those systems again.

Hi Christina,
When I compare it with generic CMSs, like WordPress and Drupal, the advantage that Tag Manager gives is the way it streamlines all the tags. When dealing with multiple scripts, I find it very convenient. Secondly, you get the scripts of all the clients from one account.
I believe, it has been setup for organizations, where marketers are different from developers. So, with Google Tag Manager, marketers will not have to contact developers or site administrators for adding scripts.

Thanks Mayank
I've had a good look at it today and it does the same as our content manager, but it will be handy to use on any client who does not use our cms.

Hi Christina,
Have been using Google Tag Manager since its launch. It is completely focused on making marketers's tasks free from the involvement of developers. It achieves the objective to a great extent.
I like it for the following reasons:
1. Once you have added Tag Manager script to the site, you do not need to go again to the HTML source for adding a script. It's pretty smooth at that function
2. It's a long term approach and can prove a great time saver for teams working on active campaigns.
3. Account management is easier - more like Google Analytics. You can handle scripts for different sites or campaign from a single platform

Google serving wrong page...
Hi, When you Google: "Los Angeles divorce attorney", you will see this site on the 5th page of the SERPS: www.berenjifamilylaw.com/blog/. For some reason, Google is serving the BLOG page as opposed to the homepage. This has been going on now for several weeks. Any tips on how to fix this? Obviously, the Homepage is more relevant and has more links going to it, so not sure why it's happening. Would you just leave it alone? Would you use robots.txt to block Google from crawling the BLOG post page? Thanks.

Taking Back Google+ Page Managed By Advertiser
The Google+ Page that appears under local listings in Google for a company I work for, was setup by an advertiser, such as Yellow Pages. I'm not sure how they got control of it, but apparently somebody at this agency set it up, and verified the url. The G+ page is now outdated, and needs to be updated. More importantly, I have to manage the page, and not this third party. I sent a request to Google to transfer ownership. My question is, has anybody had any luck in getting control of a Google+ page which was setup by the wrong party, back? As a backup, I've initiated a plan of creating a new Google+ page with the account info from the WMT's account of the url. I figure, that might have more authority than a page erroneously setup by a third party. My hope is it would eventually replace the Google+ page the currently shows in local returns. Any thoughts or comment would be appreciated.

Multiple Google+ Local (Google Place) under one email address
As a automotive dealership group, we have 15+ business listings set up under one Google+ local account. Google+ Local (Google Places) offers the ability to upload a data file for 10+ listings, so we've kept all listings under one login for efficiency. Is there any specific local SEO benefit or any general benefit at all to having each business listing set up under their own separate email address?

Title tag showing in Google that we are not setting
Hello, We've noticed that when we do a specific search (print screen attached), that the business name and/or a completely different title is getting indexed into the search engine that we are not setting.
