WP Engine GeoTarget integrates with the variables on your WP Engine site to display content catered to the visitor’s location. With the ability to access variables from as broad as country to as specific as latitude and longitude, your website can now display geographically relevant content.

Geo-Marketing

• Create marketing campaigns targeted only at certain locations.

Localization

• Redirect incoming traffic to content in the local language or currency.
• Businesses with local branches can direct customers to a relevant physical location or local microsite.

Ecommerce

• Filter out merchandise or services that are not available in a certain locale.
• Display country-specific shipping, tax, or sales information.

Legal Requirements

• Filter required legal notices from countries for whom those notices may not be relevant.

* Please Note *

Customers on Premium and Enterprise plans can use this plugin at no additional cost. If you are on another plan type and would like to use GeoTarget on one of your sites, you can add it to your plan here. This will not function outside of the WP Engine environment.

1) Will this work outside of the WP Engine hosting account?

No, this will only work within the WP Engine environment. This will not work for sites hosted on other web hosts.

2) Are there any other restrictions to using this plugin?

Yes. On Startup, Growth, and Scale plans the GeoTarget feature is available as an add-on. For Business and Premium plans or once you have added the GeoTarget add-on you will need to reach out to the Support Team to fully enable GeoTarget for your site.

You can read our full GeoTarget activation guide here.

3) What variables do I have access to?

Continent, country, state, city, zip, latitude, longitude.

4) How do I sign up for a WP Engine Account?:

That’s easy! Signup here.

5) I installed the plugin and used a shortcode or API call and it isn’t working.
