Fire GA4 through Google Tag Manager — without double-counting
— handled for you.
Firing GA4 through GTM is the foundation of every modern analytics stack. Done right, it's one tag and a clean event map. Done wrong, you double-count every event and pollute six months of reports. This is the right way. You don't have to figure this out yourself. Hand it to an EverestX Google Tag Manager specialist and get it done right the first time.
