Pods Cerebro

See which tags and GA4 events fire on any page, catch double counting, and plan your Google Tag Manager setup.

Pods Cerebro shows you what your tracking really does, on the page in front of you. Inspect any page Which Google Tag Manager containers and GA4 measurement IDs load. Every event the page sends to its dataLayer, live, as you click around. The GA4 requests the page makes, and which event each one names. Problems worth fixing first: page views counted twice, GA4 loading twice, the same event firing twice, two consent defaults racing each other, and events nobody is listening for. Whether your consent banner's no really means no. Pods Cerebro reads the consent codes Google puts on every GA4 hit, so it can tell you when hits leave before your banner says no, and when every hit is marked denied. Press Reject All, open another page, and read the verdict. Check your events Pick the kind of site you run: a bit of everything, an online shop, services and enquiries, content, video and audio, or downloads. Pods Cerebro ticks off the recommended GA4 events it has seen fire and lists the ones still missing, with the exact code each one needs. Plan your container Enter your GA4 measurement ID and download a Google Tag Manager container file to import with Merge, built from Google's recommended events. Events GA4 already counts by itself start unticked, so nothing is counted twice. Build it for you (coming in an update) An update will connect Pods Cerebro to your own Google account, read what is already live in your container, build only the tags that are missing in a new workspace, and stop there. It will not publish: you review and press Publish yourself. It is not switched on yet. Until then, the Plan tab makes the same tags as a file you import yourself. Private by design Pods Cerebro reads a page only after you press Inspect this page and allow that one site. What it sees stays in your browser. There is no account, no tracking and no server of ours in between. Pods Cerebro is made by Planet Social Marketing.
