Location Analytics

Discover where your visitors come from with country, region, and city-level geographic data.

Overview

Location analytics helps you understand the geographic distribution of your audience. This data is invaluable for international marketing, content localization, and understanding your global reach.

Geographic Breakdown

Invoker provides location data at multiple levels:

Countries

See which countries your visitors come from with visitor counts and percentages.

Regions/States

Drill down into specific regions, states, or provinces within countries.

Cities

View city-level data to understand local audience concentrations.

How We Determine Location

Location data is derived from visitors' IP addresses using a geolocation database. Here's how it works:

  1. When a visitor loads your page, their IP address is briefly processed
  2. We look up the geographic location associated with that IP
  3. The IP address is then immediately discarded - we only keep the location data
  4. Location is stored at the country, region, and city level

Location Accuracy

Location accuracy varies based on several factors:

  • Country: Highly accurate (99%+)
  • Region/State: Very accurate (95%+)
  • City: Good accuracy (80-90%)

Some factors that can affect accuracy:

  • VPN and proxy users may show incorrect locations
  • Corporate networks may show the company headquarters location
  • Mobile users may show the carrier's network center

Using Location Data

Understanding where your visitors come from helps you:

  • Decide which languages to support

Filtering by Location

You can use the date filter in combination with location data to:

  • Identify geographic trends in your audience growth
  • See how marketing campaigns perform in specific regions

Blocking Countries

If you want to exclude traffic from certain countries (e.g., to reduce spam or focus on specific markets), you can set up country blocking in your Traffic Filtering settings.
