Location-based content personalization involves tailoring the content displayed on a website to match the user’s geographical location. This can include regional promotions, local events, relevant news, and market-specific products.
Features
Show content by location
Display different content to users from countries around the world, enabling you to show pricing, delivery times or offers based on where they are
How does it work?
When a visitor arrives on your site, the plugin will perform a Geo-IP lookup to determine which country they are accessing from.
Using this information you can then use location-based rules to show and hide content that is relevant and contextual to them.
We add starter rules for you, but you can create as many as you want or need.
Create your own custom location rule
You may want to show visitors from the USA different information regarding delivery or offers than you show visitors from the UK.
If you create a rule for ‘Visitors from USA’, then you can show a different content block on your Delivery Information page to those from the UK.
And if you’re creating a rule that covers a wider area than just one country (for instance, Europe or Asia), you can use the +Add option to add as many countries as you wish.
Examples of how you might target users
Targeting users by location and showing different content blocks based on their geographical area can significantly enhance conversion rates for several reasons:
Enhance relevance and engagement
Localising content can mean showing information about regional events, local support groups, and area-specific news or initiatives.
Target for marketing campaigns
Tailoring marketing campaigns to specific regions or featuring region-specific success stories, makes campaigns more compelling.
Maximise product discovery
For a retail business, showing products that are popular in the user’s region increases the likelihood that users will find and purchase relevant products.
Show or hide any block
You can use PersonalizeWP to show or hide any block on your page, meaning that you can get creative with the content that you show to your site visitors and only show them what they need to see.
Choose from one of our preset rules, or setup your own using our flexible rules editor.
Works even with cached sites
Unlike other solutions PersonalizeWP works on cached sites, meaning that you can continue to use your caching plugins to speed up your site, whilst still personalizing your content for your visitors.
And block content isn’t downloaded on the site until it’s passed all the conditions set for it, meaning that content is not just hidden on a page but is not even sent to users that shouldn’t be shown it.
