<b>Geo Pulse #47 — This week: why your GEO data lies to you</b>
Theme: the gap between where a user <i>is</i> and where they <i>look like</i> they are. Curated sources of geo-signal noise.
→ <b>VPN/proxy traffic</b> — inflates Tier-1 numbers; a chunk of 'US' visitors are exit nodes. Cross-check IP geo against language and timezone.
→ <b>GeoIP database lag</b> — MaxMind and others update on a cadence; freshly reassigned ranges misattribute for weeks. Refresh your DB.
→ <b>Mobile carrier CGNAT</b> — one carrier IP can front an entire region, collapsing city-level targeting.
→ <b>Roaming & eSIM</b> — a traveler's phone may report a home country it left months ago.
→ <b>Sanity check</b> — language headers + timezone + payment-method choice triangulate better than IP alone.
Good to keep before you trust a clean-looking GEO breakdown.
