1. Install Google Tag Assistant 
2. We typically use only one data container on our sites. Ensure that only one Google Tag is installed. The following is a wrong example as multiple tags are found on the site.
3. Coordinate with the task creator to ensure that we use the correct tag. Remove unnecessary or incorrect tags. Incorrect or duplicate tags may have been added to the following.
