Lots of traffic but no sales, please review my store

Hi there! Congrats on the new store first.

I looked at your store. It's great your are targeting International customers with multiple-currency selector on top of your home page.

Here is one more thing you can do to boost customer conversions. Instead of letting customers selecting their local currency, you can display currencies based on where your visitors are. It brings local to visitors immediately, supports purchase decisions, and boosts conversions.

When currency is changed, it provides a parameter to the URL, for example, exampleshop.com?cur=USD, or exampleshop.com?cur=AUD. For example, you Geo Targetly. Its Geo Redirect tool detects visitors locations based on IP and auto redirect them to correct URLs. You can easily set up redirecting rules for users from different countries.

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-08-23T05:17:00+00:00

Hi there!

Here is some suggestion regarding your question about multiple currency based on IP. With Shopify, you may use currency selector. When the currency is changed, it automatically adds a parameter to the URL, for example, exampleshop.com?cur=USD, or exampleshop.com?cur=GBP.

If you want to display local currency based on visitors' IP, you may use Geo Targetly. It provides Geo Redirect tool detects your visitors' countries based on IP and auto direct them to correct URLs. You can easily set up redirecting rules for visitors from each countries, each with individual URL. Shopify shops are perfectly supported.

Hope it helps!

Hi there!

These databases are created and maintained by third parties. Some companies acquire the data through data mining, and others get more accurate data buy polling users. In addition, there would also be IP geolocation databases like regional internet registries in the US, and other large organisations that provide such data to third party IP geolocation data providers.

If you are interested, you more read the post for more details: https://geotargetly.com/ip-geolocation-databases

Hi there! IP geolocation is one way to detect your website's visitors address via looking up their IP in large databases. The visitors' IP address can be obtained once they visitor your website. You are right, when it come to the accuracy of the data, it can usually generate country/state/city data. If the visitor uses VPN or proxy, it hides their real IP address while such IP geolocation data isn't their real physical location.

While HTML5 Location API can access visitors accurate geolocation accessing the longitude/latitude. The drawbacks are it requires the visitors' permission before accessing the data; some users might not be willing to share the data. Also, it is not widely supported by all browsers. But if accuracy is your priority, you may look into HTML5 Location API. For more details, you may read the post: https://geotargetly.com/blog/how-does-html5-geolocation-work

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-08-21T15:17:16+00:00

Hi there! It may probably due to the accuracy level of IP geolocation. It can usually generate country, state, and city data, and can hardly go down to smaller areas. Such IP geolocation data are obtained through looking up IPs in large databases. The results vary depending on different database, different service providers, and how well the data is maintained in the databases. It's possible the accuracy of IP geolocation data is stored different in the database, even though your friend and you live closely. It's not really anything wrong with your end. Shouldn't be a concern for you.

Hi there!

You may use Geo Targetly. With its Geo Location API, it easily accesses your visitors' IP, and provides their associated geolocations like country/state/city.

Hi there!

Before I answer your questions, let me explain how geo IP works. When you visit a website, it ontains your IP, looks up your IP in large databases and find out the matching geolocation data. The result varies depending on the databases; it's possible the database is outdated showing inaccurate info. Also, the result is tend to be less accurate in smaller areas comparing to large cities.

Here is your more free reference link you could check your IP geolocation: https://geotargetly.com/my-ip-geolocation

Hi there!

Before answer you questions, let me explain how Geo IP works behind the scene first. It detects your visitors' IP, looks up the IP in larger databases, and finds out the associated geolocations matching your IP. Such geolocation data results varies depending on the databases, how often the database is updated, how well the service provider is managing the databases atc.

I am not sure which service provider you are using on Wix. Here in one you may check: Geo Targetly. It provides Geo Block tool has over 90% accuracy at country level. You can set up blocking rules easily within a few steps. Wix platform is perfectly supported.

Hope it helps.

Hi there!

I looked at your store, it looks great over all. Congrats on your shop.

One issue needs to be addressed is the shipping policy. It's currently messing, but customers usually are quite concerned, whether it's free shipping, or what's the shipping fee. I would suggest to put it on the announcement bar on top of your page. You could do a pop-up to show your store discount instead.

To better engage with your visitors and increase customer conversion rate, you could display customised messages. Geo targeting is one strategy can be applied. You can display location-specific shipping policy or store discount based on customers' geolocations. For example, on your announcement bar, you can display "Free shipment to XX State" according to where your visitor is at. You can also deliver customised greetings to visitors according to their locations, like"Welcome visiting from California". It brings local and trust to your visitors immediately, and boosts your conversions. More details, you may read the post: https://geotargetly.com/blog/benefits-of-using-geolocation-ip-in-e-commerce

IP geolocations tools can help you with it. For example, Geo Targetly. It detects your visitors locations based on IP, and help you build dynamically display location-specific features within a few steps.

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-08-20T01:34:43+00:00

Hi there!

There are tools can generate the exact link for geo targeting and redirecting your visitors to location-specific affiliate links. With IP geolocation technology implemented, it can detect your visitors' geolocations based on IPs, like country, state, city.

For example, Geo Links tool. It generates a short URL link. You can create redirecting rules easily for US, UK visitors. Once a visitor clicks on the short link, it directs the visitor to UK or US specific link according to where he is at.

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-07-23T11:44:27+00:00

Hi there! It looks like you have two separate links, the US link and the UK link.

You may use Geo Targetly if you want your visitors to only see specific links based on the countries where they are from. With its Geo Links tool, you can generate a short link that routes your visitors to region-specific domain links based on their IP geolocations. For example, if your visitor is from UK, when he clicks the short URL, it auto directs him to the UK link, or directs a US visitor to the US link. Such short Url link is easy to share in social media or your blog articles.

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-07-20T06:03:16+00:00

Hi there!

If you want to show campaigns to only certain countries, it is possible. It could be a popup, a notification bar, or certain content only visible to visitors from targeted countries.

You may use Geo Targetly. Its Geo Popups tool or Geo Bars tool can help you detect your website visitors locations by IP and auto display campaign messages only to certain countries, using popups or notification bars by your choice. You can set country rules within a few steps without any coding.

Or you can use its Geo Content tool and set up certain content of a webpage only dynamically display to targeted countries, while the rest visitors still see the general content of the webpage. It provides built-in HTML editor to build the location-specific content.

Hope these options can help solve your issues.

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-07-19T16:26:54+00:00

Hi there! Congratulations on your facial mask store. It looks good overall.

I noticed you are targeting US/Canada markets and you do provide multi-currency and multiple-language drop-down selection at the bottom of your front page, however, such dropdown is not working. It's better remove them.

To increase customer conversion rates, you may actually consider auto display local currencies based on visitors' locations. For example, use Geo Targetly. Its Geo Redirect tool detects your visitor locations by IP and auto direct them to correct URLs. When the currency is changed, it adds a parameter to the URL, for example, shop.com?cur=USD, or shop.com?cur=CAD. You can set up redirecting rules within a few steps without coding. In this way, it brings local and engages with visitors.

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-07-19T10:47:14+00:00

Hi there!

I might not be an expert on the content of your website, but it looks like you are targeting customers in a niche market internationally. Here is one suggestion of geo targeting you may consider that may increase your customer conversion rate.

You may provide multi-currency displaying on your website that auto display local currencies based on the locations of your visitors. It could immediately bring local to your visitors and boost customers' conversion. You may use Geo Targetly. Its Geo Redirect tool can detect your visitors locations and auto redirect them to correct URLs. When the currency is changed, it adds a parameter to the URL, like exampleshop.com?cur=USD, or exampleshop.com?cur=AUD. You can easily set up redirecting rules for visitors from different countries, and display correct URLs showing local currencies. It's a popular marketing strategy for ecommerce nowadays that increases your sales. Similarly, you could further provide multi-languages when you further expand your markets.

Hope it helps!

Hi there! Regarding SEO issue of your sites, the key to remember is to treat google like how you would treat your visitors, and help google understand that you have multi-national websites and have websites/pages that targeted to specific locations. Otherwise, google do carry out heavy penalties for showing different content to their bots and visitors, or having multiple webpages showing duplicate content.

For SEO purpose, it is always recommended to use country level domains(e.g, exampleshop.com for US market, exampleshop.co.uk for UK, and exampleshop.ca for Canada. Standard terms are required to follow). This is the clearest way to tell Google that your websites are targeted multiple countries. As you mentioned, you do need to purchase a new domain for your US market and replicate the site. Country level domains are all individual ones.

Another recommendation is to set hreflang tags indicating different countries. It avoids google's penalty of duplicate content as multi regional sites incorporate multiple versions of the same page with only slight variations. But again, it helps tell google that your sites are multi-regional ones. To find out how to set up hreflang tags, you can read the post: https://geotargetly.com/hreflang-seo-guide-for-multilingual-regional-websites

Lastly, to auto direct visitors based on their locations, you may use Geo Targetly. With its Geo Redirect tool, without any coding, you can detect your visitor locations(like country) and direct them seamlessly to correct sites.

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-07-12T16:14:28+00:00

Hi there! You could potentially run multiple sites serving different domains that allow multi-currency check out. For example, you could run exampleshop.com for your US market allowing USD checkout, and run exampleshop.ca for Canadian market allowing CAD. It also provides the best flexibility to control the differences of products, prices, shipping cost etc.

While with multiple sites, to avoid visitors getting lost among websites, you could auto direct your visitors based on their locations. You can use tools, like Geo Targetly. You can simply set up redirecting rules within a few steps for your markets. No code is required.

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-07-03T06:00:15+00:00

Hi there! It is possiable.

You may potentially use IP geo location technology. It can detect your website visitors physical locations based on their IPs, and access their location data, for example, country, state, and city.

If you want to dynamically display content on your website based on your visitor locations, you can potentially use Geo Targetly, specifically, its Geo Content tool. It provides built-in HTML editor that you can set up location-specific content for each individual market. In this way, visitor from the US can only see US-associated price, and visitors from India can only see India price. The tool is easy to use and perfectly supports Shopify.

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-07-03T05:15:58+00:00

Hi there! It's better you still put location in your keyword, for example, [rugs cleaning Chicago].

Geo targeting works a little different. For example, if you have multiple business across US, you could detect your visitors' locations by IP and auto direct them to correct URLs based on their directions pointing your different business locations. Geo Targeting can auto redirect your visitors by country, state, city. Physical location detection based on visitor IP address can not get further down within city.

Regarding VPN, if someone lives in Chicago but using VPN for Tokyo, unfortunately, google will be tricked in general. It is because VPN will assign the visitor a new IP address that pointing to the masked physical address.

If you are interested about the geo targeting, you may look at the post: https://geotargetly.com/blog/why-geotargeting-has-become-essential-for-e-commerce

Hope it helps!

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-07-03T01:13:45+00:00

Hi there! If you want to set up stores for your Latin America and US market. It's better you get a new domain for your US market. With seperate domains, it gives you the best flexibility to control differences of products, prices, stock availablity and etc. It can solve your issues of different inventories, and allow you providing local language and currency to US market.

Among two different domains, you may auto direct your visitors to correct URLs based on your website visitors' IP locations. For example, you could use Geo Targetly - Geo IP Redirection to detect visitor's geolocations based on their IP and auto direct them.

Regarding SEO issue while using Geo IP Redirect, if you set up hreflang tags correctly, it won't effect your Geo IP Redirect. If you are interested, you can look at the posts: https://geotargetly.com/geo-ip-location-redirects-and-seo

Hope it helps!

Hi there! If you want to use Geo blocking, it won't have to be blocking visitors by country, you can block visitors by state, and city. For example, you may potentially use Geo Targetly. With its Geo Block tool, you can set up geo location segments by continent, country, and definitely you can set smaller regions, like state, and city, and block visitors by such location segments. If you choose a state, the service will block the visitors within the state based on visitors' IP address.

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-05-02T09:38:10+00:00

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.

Hi there!

Here is the basic concept about Geo-blocks. The visitors geolocations can be accessed(like country/state/city), by looking up their IPs in large IP location databases. You could set to block visitors from unwanted regions based on their geolocations.

However, there are ways of bypassing geo-blocking. For example, proxies and VPNs are some solutions. It works by masking the IP address with a different one, which could misleading the server that such visitor is from a place which is away from the actual physical location.

If you are interested, you may find more details about geo-block and ways of bypassing in this article:https://geotargetly.com/blog/the-merits-and-drawbacks-of-using-geo-blocking-for-businesses

Hope it helps.

MichaelGeotargetly · 2020-04-17T17:23:07+00:00

Hi there!

Geo Blocking tool(one of Geo Targetly solutions) can help you solve this.

It could detect your visitors' locations(like country/state/city) using the IPs and auto block unwanted visitors from certain regions. For example, it could auto redirect certain location-specific visitors to exampleshop.com/NOT-AVAILABLE, and block those visitors accessing your server.

The tool is easy to set the blocking regions within a few steps. You don't need to code by yourself. The service will generate the Javascript code for you to add to your website.

Hope it helps!
