Google Analytics collects information about your visitors using tracking codes. If you implement them incorrectly, or an error occurs, the data may not be collected accurately. However, there are several tools that can help you check that everything is correct or detect an error.

Google Tag Assistant

Google Chrome browser extension – Tag Assistant – is a simple tool useful for implementing tracking codes used in Google Analytics or Google Ads. This plugin will check if they are properly implemented and if there is an error that prevents the data from being collected. If there is a problem and your tracking code is not functioning correctly, the data about the customer journey won’t be accurate. So it’s worth having everything under control with Google Tag Assistant.

Google Analytics Debugger

URLs that you want to track should be constructed on the basis of already existing addresses and additional parameters that will provide information on the traffic sources. After defining the campaign source, medium, and its name, the link is generated automatically and you can be sure that it’s structured correctly.
