You can look here https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/ You can code you a small plugin which parse your text on your site and replace a placeholder like {city} with the corresponding City of the user.

I think you need some DB installed on your server for it to work, maxmind that patmue mentioned would be one choice.
Or you can use a premium WP plugin such as :
https://geotargetingwp.com/pricing But their prices are kinda high.
This plugin looks like it could be able to pull the info from cloudfare for example, in case you are using it :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/geotargeting/
The best would be to talk with your host and ask about the possibilities to get a GEO DB installed and find a plugin that would work with it.
