Lead Liaison tests the accuracy of the geolocation data on a periodic basis. In our recent tests, the databases were 99.8% accurate on a country level, 90% accurate on a state level in the US, and 84% accurate for cities in the US within a 31 mile (50 kilometer) radius. Below are additional data points on geolocation accuracy. Accuracy is determined by the location we return falling within the selected distance of the true location of the IP address. In other words, taking the 3rd data point below, 84% of the locations we return are within 31 miles of the actual location of the end-user. Contact
Contact your Lead Liaison representative if you're seeking additional country data points for countries other than the US.
