What is a Meta Tag?
Meta tags are snippets of text that describe a page's content; the meta tags don't appear on the page itself, but only in the page's source code. Meta tags are essentially little content descriptors that help tell search engines what a web page is about.
Meta tags can also help improve placement (or ranking) of your web pages in search engines like Google. The Meta tag feature within content pages can be used to also exclude pages from appearing in search.
How do I add scripts or Ad Tags to the <head> code site section?
Since the DX platform is a code free platform, content editors do not have to worry about adding codes and tags to the site directly.
Instead agencies are able to add tags and codes using their agency Google Tag Manager account. Google Tag Manager allows us to use and connect different meta tags like google analytics, Ad Meta tags, Acquia Optimize snippet, Qualtrics scripts, etc all in one spot.
Only Agency managers have access to the Site Settings which is where the Third Party Integration is located for the GTM tag to be added.
This helps your site to connect to the google tag manager account where all of the tag codes listed can be added and safely link to the site as well.
