I’m working on a project that needs basic geo targeting based on a visitor’s IP address—mainly to adjust currency and content by location. I found a service that seems to offer this through a web API, but before I move forward, I’d love to hear from anyone who’s used something like this. How accurate are these geo targeting tools? Are there any that are easy to set up and don’t break the budget? Any recommendations or experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Basic IP-based geotargeting is a powerful tool for marketers to tailor content and advertising to specific regions. However, it's important to consider its limitations and potential privacy issues to effectively utilize this method in today's environment. IP addresses can be dynamic, making it difficult to pinpoint locations. For example, users connected through a VPN can be misidentified so that everything works fine without a VPN.
Geo targeting using IP addresses usually works well to show the right currency and content for visitors.Many services offer easy-to-use APIs that don’t require much setup and are affordable for small projects. You should need to check how accurate they are for the places you want to target.
IP-based geo targeting is mostly good for finding a user’s country and sometimes city. It’s quick to set up, low-cost, and works well for showing the right currency or content. It’s best used for general location adjustments rather than anything too specific.
