How does it work

To detect the user’s location, If-So uses an up-to-date geolocation API to pair between the IP address and the geographical location.

Which content can be customized using the geolocation condition?

As with any of If-So’s dynamic triggers, the choice is yours. Any content on your website can be customized. That includes titles, texts, images, calls to action, buttons, and more.

How accurate is the location detection?

The accuracy of a location depends on many factors, most importantly, the ISP of the address. For some providers, there is street-level accuracy, and for most, city-level accuracy. In the least specific and rare cases, only country-level accuracy is available. Generally, accuracy is higher for fixed lines as opposed to cellular networks.

Geolocation DKI (Dynamic Keyword Insertion)

The geolocation Dynamic Keyword Insertion lets you display the user’s location using a simple shortcode.

The available shortcodes are:

Display the user’s country

[ifsoDKI type="geo" show="country"] 

Display the user’s state

[ifsoDKI type="geo" show="state"] 

Display the user’s city

[ifsoDKI type="geo" show="city"]  

Display the user’s continent

[ifsoDKI type="geo" show="continent"] 

Display the user’s timezone

[ifsoDKI type="geo" show="timezone"]

How to set up geolocation-based content?

*Elementor or Gutenberg user? This condition can be used to set up a conditional element or block (Learn more: Gutenberg | Elementor).

  1. On your WordPress dashboard, go to “If-So → Add New Trigger”.
  2. Click on “Select a condition” and select “Geolocation“.
  3. Start typing a continent, country, state, or city name and use the autocomplete list to select a location. You can choose as many locations as you like. Press the “x” button to remove an entry from the chosen targeted locations.
  4. In the content field, type the content to be displayed if the visitors’ location matches your criteria.
  5. In the default content field, type content to be displayed if the visitors’ location does not match your targeting (this is optional and can be left blank).
  6. Press “Publish” and paste the shortcode generated by If-So on your website wherever you want it to be.

Monthly Session Limit

Geolocation usage is limited by the number of monthly sessions (it’s the only If-So condition that is limited). The beginning of a session is defined as when a visitor first visits a page with a geolocation trigger. The end of a session is when either a visitor closes the browser, or there have been more than 25 minutes of inactivity (it may vary slightly between browsers).

FAQs

  • Does If-So work with server-side and WordPress caching solutions?

    Yes.

    Whether you are using a caching plugin or server caching, you can navigate to the plugin settings and enable the “Page Caching Compatibility” option. With the option enabled, dynamic triggers will be rendered in a separate request that will take place after the loading of the cached version.

  • Is it possible to set up conditional redirects ( redirecting users to different pages based on conditions)?
