Depending on the geotargeting method used, you can find out which zip/post code, city, region, country, & continent your website visitors are from, along with their latitude and longitude coordinates.
Geotargeting can also be used to determine if your visitor is using a VPN (Virtual Private Network)or which ISP (Internet Service Provider) they are using.
That’s quite a variety of location information, which can be used to help deliver location specific content, redirect visitors to specific websites or show location based adverts.
