User reviews

Google Tag Assistant is an important tool for marketers and non-specialists, such as website owners. However, it could provide clearer feedback during debugging. Currently, when consent is not provided (via a cookie banner), the tool usually states that "No tags found," even if tags are present but not firing due to consent requirements. This can mislead marketers and, even more so, non-specialists who might assume that tags are entirely missing or improperly implemented. While technical challenges like blocked script execution or privacy settings may limit detection, improving Tag Assistant to identify such cases in a better way would be invaluable. For instance, it could display: "Tags detected but not firing—possible reason(s): lack of consent OR .... OR .... ." This little improvement would save time and offer clarity, benefiting all users, regardless of their technical expertise.
