We all want to provide users with the best experience possible. Whether we’re building a website or mobile app, serving up relevant content and features is vital to long-term success.
However, this is virtually impossible to achieve without actionable information. If we don’t know who our users are, we can’t create a truly customized experience.
This is what makes Geolocation data so important. By knowing where a user is located, along with other associated details, we’re able to tailor things to better meet their needs.
And with the free, open-source IP Geolocation API, accessing this data has never been easier or more budget-friendly. Let’s take a look at what this tool does and how you can leverage it to improve UX.
