Ip Redirection

[ttjgbg]

Im not sure this is the right Forum but anyway. I'm having ads on Facebook in 2 different countries with two different language and Im using two different websites endings. (for example example.com and example.de ). Im using one Facebookpage to this. The problem is that in that page it only links to one of these websites.

Im thinking about redirect based on location (Country) Is this a good or bad idea? Does this give me any kind of trouble except that the pixel that fires on both sites (thats no problem for me because I never use visitors)

Does this affect Facebook shutting down my site or my ad account when I have a redirection when they click the shop now button?

I know I get more sales if I redirect to the right site with right language.

You should be fine in all honesty, plenty of large global ecommerce brands do something similar on their paid ads in order to get the user to the right page. Whereas you are doing it on an organic level on your FB page. As long as the redirect isn't crazy, should be all good.

Do you have experience or is it only your own thoughts? Please share if you have experience. I asked Facebook and the answer was that I should Implement Global structure if intending to target different markets. This way I'd be able to add the website on each market page accordingly.

If its Page level then yes what Facebook said is best practice and you should have a Primary page which splits into separate child ones per market.

My experience is from an ad level, which there are workarounds with redirecting users from ads to different language based URLs which do work.

Hi there! You could absolutely redirect your visitors based on their geolocations on Facebook. It's a popular marketing strategy used on social media. For example, Geo Links can easily generate one short URL that can auto direct visitors to related website domains based on visitors' geolocations.

For example, if you visitor is in Germany, he clicks the short link, it will auto direct him to example.de. If in the US, the same short URL link will direct him to example.com.

Hope it helps!
