If you've followed the installation instructions correctly and Google tags are still not working on your Webflow site, there may be a few troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue. Here's what you can do:

Validate your installation: First, ensure that the Google tag installation is correct. Double-check that you have placed the scripts in the right place on your Webflow site. The tags should be placed in the <head> or <body> tags, as specified in the installation instructions. Make sure there are no typos or missing elements in the code.
Check for conflicts: It's possible that there may be conflicts with other scripts or elements on your Webflow site that are preventing the Google tags from working. Inspect your site using the browser's developer tools (right-click and select "Inspect Element") and look for any error messages or conflicts in the console tab. Resolve these conflicts by either removing or adjusting the conflicting elements/scripts.
Clear cache and cookies: Sometimes, caching issues can interfere with the functioning of Google tags. Clear your browser's cache and cookies and reload your Webflow site. This will ensure that you're viewing the most up-to-date version of your site and that any cached elements are refreshed.
Test on different devices and browsers: Test the Google tags functionality on different devices and browsers. This can help determine if the issue is specific to a particular device or browser. If the tags work on some devices/browsers but not others, it may be necessary to troubleshoot further for compatibility issues.
Check Google Analytics tracking: If you are troubleshooting Google Analytics tracking tags specifically, use the Google Analytics Debugger Chrome extension or Google Tag Assistant to check if the tags are firing correctly. These tools will provide you with detailed information about the tagged events and any issues that may be affecting them.
Reach out to Webflow support: If all else fails, it's beneficial to reach out to Webflow support for assistance. They can provide additional guidance and troubleshoot the issue more thoroughly, as they have access to the backend of the platform.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve any issues you are facing with Google tags not working on Webflow.
