In Webflow, is there an easy way to install a Google tag script on the body of every page, rather than just the head or before body tag?

In Webflow, there is a straightforward way to install a Google tag script on the body of every page. By default, Webflow places code snippets in the head or before the body tag. However, with a little bit of customization, you can achieve the desired result. Here's how:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and open the project you want to work on.
  2. Navigate to the Project Settings by clicking on the gear icon located at the top right corner of the Designer interface.
  3. In the Project Settings panel, select the Custom Code tab.
  4. Under the Custom Code tab, you will see options to add code to the Head Code, Before <body> Tag, and After <body> Tag sections.
  5. To insert the Google tag script on the body of every page, locate the Before <body> Tag section and click on the </> icon to access the code editor.
  6. In the editor, enter the desired Google tag script. For instance, to install Google Analytics, you would add the Google Analytics tracking code provided by Google.
  7. Once you have entered the script, click Save to save your changes.

By adding the Google tag script to the Before <body> Tag section, Webflow will insert the script immediately after the opening <body> tag on every page of your website. This ensures that the script is executed early in the page's rendering process and minimizes potential tracking delays.

With this method, you can easily install a Google tag script on the body of every page in Webflow without the need for complex workarounds or manual placement. By tracking user interactions and behavior, you can gain valuable insights into your website's performance and make data-driven decisions to improve its effectiveness.
