Leveraging Metadata with Google Tag Manager

Our APIs expose data to Ritter’s quote engines based on product, marketplace, and url. As a leading FMO (Field Marketing Organization), our agents use these products and urls to service their clients.

How can we better leverage the resulting aggregation of data?

Metadata

Metadata will provide us with richer metrics, and a means to see how our users are consuming the data.
