i'm constantly experiencing issues with them showing incorrect geolocations, like the IP address location is way off.That's a common headache for marketers! Your proxy's IP location accuracy is often off due to using data center IPs registered to their headquarters rather than the actual exit node, or because of outdated IP geolocation databases. For better geo-targeting precision, opt for high-quality residential proxies and regularly verify their location to account for varying IP database refresh rates. Hope this helps your conversions!

Answered 2 weeks agoAh, the data center vs. exit node thing really explains a lot, thanks for breaking that down. I'm def gonna switch to residential proxies and be super strict about verifying the location before using 'em. Will report back here once I've had a chance to test it out properly.
