ZoomInfo is a great tool for B2B marketers. We’ve previously discussed why we love ZoomInfo as an intelligence tool and how to effectively use ZoomInfo for account-based marketing. Now we’re breaking down how to make the most of the data from WebSights through the ZoomInfo Google Analytics integration.

2. Click WebSights at the top of the page. 

3. Select Management

4. Enter the site URL in the Add New Domain box.

Once you have completed these steps it’s time to ensure that WebSights is firing on your site to capture the information that will help improve your retargeting strategies. For this you will need a Google Tag Manager container. Even if you’re not very familiar with GTM, these steps will help guide you through the ZoomInfo tag creation process. 

1. Open your Google Tag Manager container and select Tags from the left menu. 

2. Click New to create a new tag and name it something like “ZoomInfo HTML Tag” or “ZoomInfo WebSights Tag.” 

3. Choose Custom HTML as your tag type.

Google Analytics ZoomInfo Implementation

Now that WebSights is gathering visitor data on your site you can create custom dimensions for tracking the information in Google Analytics.

1. Open your Google Analytics account and click the Admin gear at the bottom.
