Geo Blocking (Geolocation Based Content Control)

Powerful Geo Blocking ways to control your content by location

1. Block visitors from the entire site or from selected pages using client-side geolocation blocking for full control over access.
2. Prevent spam, signups, and malicious traffic by filtering or blocking unwanted regions.
3. Create a seamless experience for blocked visitors with clear messages or redirects to custom pages.
4. Target by geographic location (continent, country, state, city, or time zone) to display different content.
5. Deliver personalized offers, promotions, and messages tailored to the visitor’s location.
6. Change any type of content, including headlines, text, images, buttons, and calls to action.
7. Stay compliant by showing disclaimers or restricting access for specific regions.
8. Flexible redirects – Choose between 301, 302, or JavaScript and control redirect frequency.

Ways to Create Geo Blocking Using If-So

There are several ways you can control access to your content and tailor the user experience with If-So’s Geo Blocker:

Single-page Redirect – Send users from specific locations to another page or external URL.

Useful when you want to guide them toward localized content or block access completely.

Site-wide redirect (redirect templates) – Send visitors from any page on your site to the matching page on another version of your website.

Links removal – Hide or disable links to certain pages so visitors from blocked locations can’t access them.

Prevent confusion and keeps the site navigation clean.

Replace page content – Use one page to show different versions of content by visitor location.

You can also hide or block specific elements in certain regions.

Display a cover layer – Show an overlay with a custom message above restricted content.

Keeps the experience clear and user-friendly.
