Adding Goodreviews widget to your website through Google Tag Manager (GTM)

This guide explains how to integrate a Goodreviews floating widget onto your website using Google Tag Manager (GTM). Please note that due to the constraints of GTM, inline widgets cannot be installed through this method and must be implemented directly on your specific Content Management System (CMS).

However, you can easily add a floating widget either to your entire website or to specific pages using Google Tag Manager.
