1What is the unified Google tag (gtag.js) in 2026?

A.A legacy script

B.A single snippet that sends data to Google Ads, GA4, Floodlight, and other Google products

C.Only for Search

D.YouTube only

Explanation: The Google tag (gtag.js) is the unified tagging snippet for all Google measurement products — Google Ads (conversions/remarketing), GA4 (events), Campaign Manager 360 (Floodlight), with consent and Enhanced Conversions support. Replaces legacy analytics.js + separate Ads pixels.

2Which is the proper installation location for the Google tag?

A.Only in <body>

B.In the <head> of every page, as early as possible

C.Only on checkout page

D.In robots.txt

Explanation: The Google tag should be installed in <head> as early as possible on every page. Early placement ensures events fire even if users navigate away quickly. GTM container snippets similarly belong in <head> (and a noscript copy at the top of <body>).

3What is the difference between 'Google tag' and 'Google Tag Manager'?

A.They're the same

B.Google tag (gtag.js) is a direct tagging snippet; Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a container that loads multiple tags (gtag + others) via a UI without code changes

C.GTM is for Shopping only

D.gtag is GA only

Explanation: Google tag = direct snippet embedding one-ID tracking (Google Ads/GA4/Floodlight). GTM = a dashboard-managed container that loads multiple tags (including gtag, third-party tags like Facebook, custom HTML) via triggers/variables — no code changes for new tags. Most organizations use GTM.

4In GTM, which three core concepts define tag behavior?

A.Keywords, bids, budgets

B.Tags, Triggers, Variables

C.HTML, CSS, JS

D.Only tags

Explanation: GTM architecture: TAGS (what to fire — gtag, Facebook pixel, etc.), TRIGGERS (when to fire — page view, click, form submit), VARIABLES (data pulled from page/dataLayer — URL, click element, custom data). Learn these to master GTM.

5Which GTM feature lets you safely test tag changes before publishing?

A.Immediate publish

B.Preview mode (also called Debug mode) — loads your changes only in your session for validation

C.Version history

D.Only publish

Explanation: GTM Preview mode (gtm.start debug session) lets you test changes in real time without affecting live traffic. Combine with Tag Assistant for validation. Always preview-test before publishing to avoid breaking live measurement.

6What is required to set up a Google Ads conversion action?

A.Nothing

B.A conversion action in Google Ads + the gtag event snippet (or GTM tag) firing when the action completes

C.Only a button

D.Only email

Explanation: Setup: (1) Create a conversion action in Google Ads (e.g., 'Purchase', 'Lead') with category, value type, attribution settings; (2) Place the event snippet (gtag or GTM conversion tag with conversion ID and label) on the page where action completes (thank-you, success). Validate with Tag Assistant.

7Which conversion attribution model is the default for new Google Ads conversion actions in 2026?

A.Last click

B.Data-driven attribution (DDA)

C.First click

D.Linear

Explanation: Data-driven attribution became default for new Google Ads conversion actions in 2023. DDA uses ML to distribute credit across touchpoints based on incremental contribution. Rule-based models (first click, linear, position-based, time decay) are being deprecated in Google Ads.

8In 2026, which rule-based attribution models are deprecated in Google Ads?

A.Only first click

B.First click, linear, time decay, position-based are being phased out — only DDA and last click remain

C.Only DDA

D.None

Explanation: Google is phasing out first-click, linear, time-decay, position-based attribution models. By 2024+, only Data-driven attribution (default) and Last click (limited) remain. Simplifies attribution choices and aligns with AI-driven measurement.

9Enhanced Conversions improves measurement by:

A.Removing PII

B.Hashing first-party data (email/phone) from conversion pages and sending with conversions; Google matches to signed-in users

C.Disabling tracking

D.Only desktop

Explanation: Enhanced Conversions captures hashed (SHA-256) first-party identifiers (email most commonly) on conversion events and sends them to Google alongside standard conversion data. Google matches hashes to signed-in Google users to recover attribution lost to cookie/consent restrictions.

10Enhanced Conversions for Leads (ECL) is specifically for:

A.Ecommerce

B.Capturing lead form submissions — typically email hash from the form submission — for later offline conversion attribution

C.Display only

D.Video only

Explanation: Enhanced Conversions for Leads hashes the email (and optionally phone) submitted on a lead form, sends with the Lead conversion. Later, when the lead closes offline (deal won), the CRM uploads the hashed email via Offline Conversion Import — Google matches and attributes back to the original click.
