Can inferred country be re-determined?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Inferred Country is determined when the cookie is dropped by Munchkin. But the lead could be working on holiday in France, while his office is in Germany. The inferred country would be France. But during is next visit it would still be France right? It would like to store the last 4 visit's inferred country values (in custom fields). This would allow me to see if we have a 'winner', which should be the correct inferred country. Of course I would limit the trigger to once per week. But I first need to know when Inferred Country is determined. Then I would like to know if and how I can force it to be re-determined (jQuery, Munchkin).

Re: Can inferred country be re-determined?

To the best of my knowledge the inferred country, city and other details are obtained through GeoIP.
The IP addresss is queried against the geo database and then populated in Marketo.
You can use JavaScript to obtain that information on subsequent visits.
http://www.geoiptool.com, among many others, is a good place to start.

Re: Can inferred country be re-determined?

Hi,

Thanks fo rthe reply. I want to know when the value is set for Inferred Country. Is it updated on every visit? Or only on form fills. Or once set the first time never updated again?

Hey Guys,

According to Marketo's List of Standard Field explanation (List of Standard Fields » Marketo Developers ), Inferred Country is created upon the visitors first visit and not updated thereafter.

Re: Can inferred country be re-determined?

Diederik,

Did you get your question answered?  I've been curious if the inferred information is based on first visit or if it continues to be updated too.  I can't find much documentation on how the function works.

Thanks,
Carrie
