About Tealium

Tealium is the leader in enterprise tag management, serving some of the most demanding customers in the world. Tealium’s web-based services make it easy for digital marketers to deploy and manage their third-party vendor tags, and then correlate the data those tags generate into an actionable source. Using Tealium, organizations can streamline their digital marketing operations, improve web site performance, cut costs, and power their big data initiatives.

Select clients include Petco, A+E Networks, Fox Networks Group, Urban Outfitters, and many more! More than ever, today’s marketers are turning to digital solutions to improve efficiency and results.

Tags – commonly known as tracking pixels – are becoming the data collection mechanism of choice, leaving marketers reliant on them to gather the right data about visitor activity and take action to improve their experience. But the process of deploying and managing vendor tags can be a nightmare for marketers, due to the technical nature associated with tagging, heavy costs, impact on site performance, and the dependence of IT resources to make changes. Tealium puts digital marketers in control of their online solutions, making it easy to add, edit, or remove any vendor without requesting assistance from IT. In addition, Tealium provides a rich source of all of an organization’s digital data to help marketers improve the effectiveness of their customer acquisition campaigns.

Screenshots

  • The Tealium plugin allows your Tealium tag to be added straight to your site from your WordPress dashboard.
  • A data object is added to your site containing basic post or page data.
  • The plugin also takes categories and tags…
  • …and rolls them into the data object.
  • Custom fields and other meta data is also supported.
  • Many existing WordPress plugins make use of meta data, so your data object should be rich with potential variables.
  • Advanced settings allow a number of options to be configured and features enabled.
  • The bulk export feature allows you to quickly import your WordPress variables into Tealium.

Installation

To install:

  • Install from the WordPress plugin repository, or copy to your wp-content/plugins folder.
  • Enable through the plugins section within WordPress.
  • Enter your account/profile/environment settings into ‘Tealium Settings’ under Settings in the admin menu.
  • That’s it!

Optional steps:

  • The position of the Tealium tag can be selected.
  • If there are items you wish to exclude from your data object, add the keys as a comma separated list.
  • A cache buster can be enabled for content editors.
  • Use the variable bulk export to quickly import your WordPress custom fields into Tealium.
  • Choose between sync/async deployments.

  • Site description
  • Post ID
  • Post date
  • Post categories
  • Post tags

Is WooCommerce supported?

WooCommerce stores product information as meta data, so by default your data object will be rich with data on product pages.

Version 1.3 adds basic support for cart contents information in the data object.

Can I add to the data layer dynamically using PHP code?

This can be achieved calling the ‘tealium_addToDataObject’ action from your themes functions.php file or a separate plugin.

For more information see the action examples on GitHub.

Can I automatically switch between Tealium environments on my dev/live website?

This can be achieved by conditionally modifying the Tealium tag code by calling the ‘tealium_tagCode’ action from your themes functions.php file or a separate plugin.

For more information see the action examples on GitHub.
