Geo Targeting
It's easy to find out the city and state from which your website visitor is coming
from. Your IP address can be used to find out your city, state, country and a few
other pieces of information about you.
What can do you do with this information? Well that depends on what you are aiming
to do with your website, for e.g. if you're a restaurant chain and someone came
to your website from a city in which you have a restaurant then it would be extremely
useful to show them the phone number and address for that location instead of making
them find a page to type in their details to find the nearest restaurant. I personally
hate typing in Raleigh and selecting NC from a drop down on every single form I
fill up on web sites when I know they can have that filled for me when I get to
the form.
Anything you can do to help your website visitors get what they need faster would
give you better chances of a conversion. Figuring out where they are from and
how you can use that information to make their visit more useful would definitely
increase your chances of success.
