Geo-Targeted Landers with PHP Code (15)

Hey guys,

I've been trying to figure out how to make lander headlines and images change based on a user's GEO location. I would very much like to be able to change them based on the state they live in. I use Wordpress or ClickFunnels for all my landers. From what I've researched, it has something to do with changing the PHP code for the lander. Could anyone assist? I would greatly appreciate it.

Nice nick you have
Well, you could add the states to the lander URL, grab the values with PHP $_GET["value"] and then use if/else statements to display different headlines based on the state.

Thanks twinaxe! In the lander URL, what format would I be adding the states? Something like ?value=Oregon if I wanted Oregon inserted into my headline and then add the PHP $ GET["value"] code into the lander headline where I want the state added?

You can also do this with the help of some trackers, I assume you are using some. Most of them have pretty good GEO detection and most offer the option to pass this info into the lander URL by using the custom tokens. And from there, it only takes a simple php script to grab that info. My coder is doing this for me all the time.

Sweet, thanks for the tip matuloo. I use Binom so I suppose I could just pass the GEO location using their custom tokens. Only thing I need to figure out still is the actual PHP script lol. Can't be anything too cosmic at all but I'm a novice at code as of now.

That's awesome! Thank you so much, Amy! Much obliged

Here's a tutorial for a no code method built into Prosper202 http://prosper.tracking202.com/blog/...s-huge-results

To dynamically display the country you would do the following

Welcome I see you are reading this from <span name="t202Country" t202Default='Your Country'>Your Country</span>

Just use dynamic tokens from your tracker.

Then you can do it even in pure JavaScript, there is no need to use server resources and PHP.

Here is how you do it in Voluum for example:

<script type="text/javascript">function getURLParameter(r){for(var t=window.location.search.substring(1).split("&"),n=0;n<t.length;n++){var e=t[n].split("=");if(e[0]===r)return e[1]}return""}</script>

<script>document.write(getURLParameter('country'))</script>

<?php echo $_GET['country']; ?>

Sure you can let the tracker attach the values but mostly trackers only support country and city and I supposed he meant the different states in USA.

And when the only change in the headline should be to display the name of the state then for sure the JS works.
But when he wants to use completely different headlines based on the state then I think PHP would be easier, I thought he would like to use PHP anyway as he mentioned PHP files.

Yeah, the solution I showed above works with states as well (in Voluum as they have this DB available)

Thank you all for the help! Very much appreciated as I am still learning coding. Still having some issues getting this to work properly. I originally had code from caurmen from this thread (https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...ing-Parameters). Below is the code I used with span id="city">your city</span> utilized in place of city name in my Wordpress post headline. I added the code in the Footer Code section. Should I maybe put it in the "text" section of the post or upload it as a .js file to my server?

<script type="text/javascript">
function getParameterByName(name) {
name = name.replace(/[[]/, "[").replace(/[]]/, "]");
var regex = new RegExp("[?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results === null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/+/g, " "));
}
document.getElementById('city').innerHTML = getParameterByName("city") ;
</script>

Does Wordpress not pick up the JS when I add it to their post Footer Code section? I also tried the above code from erikgyepes, but couldn't get it to work either.

Thanks again all of you for the help!
