Digital Element Announces NAT Detector — Industry’s New Standard for Accurate IP Geolocation and Risk Intelligence.

The Role Hyperlocal IP Geolocation Technology Plays in Website Optimization

Sixty-three percent of consumers said they’d think more positively of a brand if it gave them content that was more valuable, interesting or relevant. Research such as this shows just how important it is for companies around the world to create the best web experience possible. Today, getting a website up and running isn’t nearly as difficult as it once was. However, optimizing the design and content of a website for improved user experience can be something that marketers struggle with.

Marketers can get help from companies such as Siteimprove, which offers Software as a Service (SaaS) to help more than 5,000 global customers create a better experience for their website visitors, by providing tools to make website management, maintenance, and optimization easier and more affordable. The company’s products remove the manual task of finding website errors while helping teams create a strong content strategy through insightful analytics data.

By incorporating highly accurate hyperlocal IP geolocation technology into its analytics platform, Siteimprove has dramatically improved its ability to accurately track users’ locations for its clients’ websites, all in a privacy-sensitive manner. This enables its clients to make more informed decisions for website optimization and better segment visitors.

“Geolocation data is an important part of our business, and the data we were receiving from our previous provider was outdated and inaccurate,” explained Ivan Bager, director of innovation, Siteimprove.

The deployment of the new, more accurate IP geolocation data has produced some incredible results for Siteimprove’s customers in a short period of time. For example, the number of unknown visitor locations to customers’ sites has dramatically been reduced from 25 percent to less than 1 percent.

How New IP-Based ZIP+4 Geolocation Technology Gives Marketers a More Precise Target

Digital marketers are always looking for a competitive edge when it comes to segmenting and reaching their online audiences with relevant advertising, messages and special promotions. That “edge” typically comes from learning to leverage data to their advantage―and the deeper and more accurate that data the better.

Digital Element is addressing marketers’ needs for more data granularity with the introduction of Pulse Plus, the first IP-based ZIP+4 location targeting solution and the newest edition to its pioneering NetAcuity platform of products.

Pulse Plus combines the device-derived data of NetAcuity Pulse with Digital Element’s proprietary technology that produces reverse-geocoding data feeds. Available for flat-file implementation, Pulse Plus combines this new intelligence with geographic shape and boundary files to produce the next generation of ZIP code targeting within the United States. Additionally, the Pulse Plus ZIP+4 data can be combined with demographics to produce even more granular and precise targeting for marketers.

NetAcuity Pulse Plus is especially beneficial to marketers that want to target very specific audiences concentrated in more pinpointed locations within the United States. The following are just two examples of how different companies can apply this technology to enhance their digital marketing campaigns:

  • Restaurants may drive in more local diners by advertising specials to neighborhoods/businesses with ZIP codes within a 5-mile drive of the establishment.
  • Political campaigns can deliver specific advertising and messages to key constituents in local districts, for example where voter turn-out is low or where candidates want to gain grassroots momentum.
