To properly implement a script that redirects a website to a specific landing page based on the user's location in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Choose a geolocation service: First, you need to select a geolocation service or API that will provide the user's location information based on their IP address. Some popular options include MaxMind, ipstack, and GeolocationDB. You can choose any service that suits your requirements.

  2. Obtain an API key: Once you have selected a geolocation service, sign up for an account and obtain an API key. This key will be used to authenticate your requests to the service's API.

  3. Implement the script: In Webflow, you can add custom code to your site using the Custom Code section available in the project settings. Here's an example of a script that redirects users based on their location:

<script>  // Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with the actual API key you obtained  var apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';  // Make a request to the geolocation API  fetch('https://api.geolocation-service.com/json/' + apiKey)    .then(response => response.json())    .then(data => {      // Extract the user's country from the API response      var country = data.country_code;      // Define the landing page URLs for different countries      var landingPages = {        'US': 'https://example.com/us-landing-page',        'GB': 'https://example.com/uk-landing-page',        'DE': 'https://example.com/germany-landing-page',        // Add more country-specific landing pages as needed      };      // Check if the user's country has a specific landing page defined      if (country in landingPages) {        // Redirect the user to the country-specific landing page        window.location.replace(landingPages[country]);      }    })    .catch(error => {      console.error('Error:', error);    });</script>

Make sure to replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with the actual API key you obtained from the geolocation service.

  1. Customize the landing pages: Update the landing page URLs and add more country-specific landing pages as needed in the landingPages object. You can also customize the script further based on your specific requirements.

  2. Test and publish: Finally, test the script thoroughly to ensure it is functioning correctly. Publish your Webflow site to make the script live and apply the geolocation-based redirection.

By following these steps, you can implement a script in Webflow that redirects your website visitors to a specific landing page based on their location.
