Google Tag Manager - Add Code Behind <Body> Tags

Store Builder Questions
1

Hello, I have decided to use Google Tag Manager on one of our sites that we do a lot of marketing for to consolidate all of the scripts that are needed to be run.


  1. First of all, if you think this is a bad idea, I'd like to hear your opinion …
  2. I would like to know the best way to implement it. GTM is placed behind the opening tag … Should we make a hook, or edit a template?



    Either way, I need someone to be kind enough to show me how to do this … any helpers out there?



    Thanks in advance!

For our clients, we use a “content.pre.tpl” hook and put the iframe code there. It's a few lines below the body tag, but it does come before any real content that you would want to track.
