## 1. Create your organization

When you first log into Tag Insight, you'll need to create an organization. This is the top-level container for all your projects.

## 2. Create your first project

Projects in Tag Insight represent individual tracking implementations. Each project gets its own unique pixel.

## 3. Install the Tag Insight pixel

The Tag Insight pixel is a lightweight JavaScript tag that monitors your data layers in real-time.

### Installation via Google Tag Manager

```javascript theme={null}
<script>
(function() {
  var script = document.createElement('script');
  script.src = 'https://cdn.taginsight.com/pixel/YOUR_PROJECT_ID.js';
  script.async = true;
  document.head.appendChild(script);
})();
</script>

<Warning>
  Replace `YOUR_PROJECT_ID` with your actual project ID from the Tag Insight dashboard.
