Geo-targeting / Presenting Unique Content

[lhc67]

A client is debating housing two websites under one URL. The sites would offer similar services at different price points. For example, if a user was coming from a San Fran IP they would be presented with the "high-end" packages while another user coming from Dallas would get the "low budget" content. What are the SEO implications? I know that auto geo-targeting can sometimes be risky. It seems like IP locators aren't accurate all the times (especially from a mobile device).

Advise?  Basically, the client wants to make sure that a Dallas user will be presented with the "right" keywords in the SERPs. What would you recommend?  Thanks!

Just to be sure I understand - the url would be the same, but the content and price point would differ based on the user's IP address? I would not recommend that. For one thing, Google is only going to crawl and index one page at any given url. For another (as you mentioned) geo-targeting is not 100% accurate.

I would recommend two separate pages or sections of your site.

Great, thanks Adam! You confirmed my suspicions. Just wanted a second opinion.
