Website Tracking Pixel – “Photon”

Step 1: Add photon to the head element of every page

<script async src="https://searchlight.partners/photon/photon-3p.js"></script>

Google Tag Manager:

While our photon tag will work in Google Tag Manager, our ability to track phone number swapping may degrade slightly moving the Photon tag out of the original head element source and into GTM. However, our ability to track number swapping is a safe-guard measure that we have not needed to employ for certain call trackers. You can reach out to our team if you have further questions.

Step 2: Troubleshoot

When using Google Tag Manager

  • Check for Multiple Instances
  • Search Elements Tab in Dev Tools for GTM
  • Look for GTM id e.g. ?id=GTM-NC6W76Z
  • Search Sources Tab in Dev Tools for photon

WordPress / Nitro Pack

You will have to clear the Nitro Pack cache to see the following changes. When NitroPack is in use add nitro-exclude to the photon tag:

<script async nitro-exclude src="https://searchlight.partners/photon/photon-3p.js"></script>

Duda Content Management System

  • Photon tag must go at the top of the Body element
  • Must save both header and body text-area elements in CMS
  • Must publish to see changes
