Frequently Asked Questions
A "tel:" click occurs when a user clicks a phone link on a mobile device to initiate a direct call to your business, representing a highly valuable lead interaction.
I use GTM Element Visibility triggers or listener scripts to track when a form success confirmation message appears on screen.
Usually, I can install GTM directly via your CMS dashboard (WordPress/Shopify) or provide a simple code snippet for your developer.
