How To Assign Pricing Based On User Location (Traffic Coming From Adwords)
-
Hi Mozzers, this may be more of a web development/analytics question than SEO, but hopefully someone has the experience to help me out.
My company is currently conducting an Adwords campaign targeting B2B clients for products and services across Canada. Ideally each customer is registered as a client in our system when they make purchases, but this limits our customer base to those willing to create an account with us and wastes our Adwords budget.
Now we are moving towards a "walk-up" e-commerce platform which would allow non-members to make purchases without setting up an account first. However, pricing for our products and services differs based on province (different taxes, transportation costs, etc.) and the system currently requires a user to login in using their postal code (zip code) to help the platform generate products, services and pricing specific to their area.
This has caused an enormous bounce rate and I am looking for a way to generate said product/service/pricing lists based on some form of automated system which identifies their location and reacts accordingly. In other words, I want our system to recognize where a user is searching from and provide them with the relevant information without them having to input any data (in this case, their postal code).
I had thought that using a Google Geolocator API might do the trick, but I'm unsure as to whether it is useful for what I have in mind.
Has anyone had this experience before and if so, what solutions did you come up with?
Looking forward to any insights and suggestions!

Hey Roman,
Thanks very much for your response - our issue is not so much with multiple currencies within the same website (we're only selling in $CAD). The issue is that our products ship out from various warehouses located across the country.
Promos and special deals are available, but they can be different in different provinces.Since we want to reduce shipping costs and it's important that customers see deals that are relevant to their regions (provinces), we need their postal (zip) code in order to give them relevant products and promos.
The problem is that asking someone for their postal code reduces our conversion rate and lowers our sales, so we are looking for a way to geographically locate a visitor to the site without them having to fill in their postal code.
Hope this helps to clarify!
Thanks,
Rob

This is just an example of the code that you are looking for, Keep in mind that you have to prepare your website as multilingual and multi currency website.

Basically you need to use a Geolocation script to determinate which version of your website
Example you sell on 3 different regions, so you have 3 version of your website Cananian Dolar, American Dolar and Mexican Pesos
1. Mexico
2. Canada
3. USASo your script will dertimate firts what kind of user is getting into the website and the will show the right version
This is one of the sites that I manage and as you can see.
https://www.phen375.com/
and as you can see has multiple languages and multiples currencies ( 6 currencies and 7 languages availables) so if we have a client coming from Mexico, the browser will show the spanish version or if the client is from France the browser will show the French Version with Euros as Currency.Hope this information would help you

I've 'lost' my Google Referral Traffic
We recently re-launched our website on a new platform, PrestaShop. Up until that launch,our website, based on the DNN platform, received several thousand clicks per month from what Google Analytics classified as 'Google/referral', and several thousand more clicks collectively from international Google/referrals, i.e. Canada, Germany, UK and France. When the re-launched site went live, these clicks all went to zero on Google Analytics. My question is: Did we actually lose this Referral traffic through an improper setting on our new platform, or is this Referral simply being re-categorized in some other Source category like Organic Search?

Hi - I have 2 sites in a clients adwords account which are based on the same subject, with unique content on the same subject. We're using 2 unique ads, each using the same keywords, 1 bidding fractionally lower than the other, and are trying to do is get them appearing 1 & 2, but at the moment I I can't even get them to appear on the same page. Are we competing against ourselves or is Google seeing the content as too similar to show both?

Adwords keyword vs exact match kw
Hi guys, I have been using an excellent script that showed me the keywords I was bidding on and the keywords they were matched on by Adwords. I was using the following script: http://www.getelastic.com/exact-keywords-google-analytics/ But I'm under the impression Google changed the way these data can be matched. I now have multiple questions: Does anyone have another script that gives me the same results? Has anyone seen an announcement on why Google has changed this? Might this js solution still be working? http://www.roirevolution.com/blog/2008/02/exact_keyword_tracking_with_gajs.php Cheers and thanks for all the suggestions! Arnout

Redirecting AdWords Display URLs
I feel it's a best practice (from a user experience POV) to create a 301redirect when using a fictitious display URL in your PPC ads. And according to the AdWords help page (http://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=175906&rd=2) Google doesn't have an issue using a redirect. "Redirects used for tracking purposes are fine as long as the final landing page has the same domain as the display URL." I'm curious if there is ad score penalty if one does not ionclude a redirect - i.e. the user types in your display URL and gets a 404. Has anyone seen an evidence of this?

Adwords Bulk Discount
Had a few calls recently from agencies offering bulk discount on Google Adwords spends if we pass management over to them and spend more than £5,000 ($7,500) a month, they claim they can offer a 5% discount over what we're currently paying... Can't find anything about this, does Google offer such a deal to agencies?
