How do you think IP Geolocation services can be better and more useful?

Question

According to my experience in Greip.io and according to customers feedback, I found that this kind of services is one of the main steps of launching a new website or service that should be protected from fraud (in general).

So, I asked myself about the next step to make it even better 🤔. Then, I created this discussion to be as a reference for us and any other service provider that need to listen to users with experience in this kind of services.

Accepted Answer

IP geolocation services can be improved in several ways. For example, the accuracy and precision of the location information provided by these services can be increased by using more sophisticated algorithms and data sources. In addition, the services can be made more user-friendly by providing clear and concise explanations of how the location information is determined and what it can be used for. Finally, it would be useful for these services to provide additional information, such as time zone, local currency, and language, to help users better understand the context of the location information.

I agree with you, relying on data sources only is not enough. Machine Learning is required in this case to improve the results the user get 🙌🏻
