This includes data such as approximate geographic location, digital marketing <a href="https://docs.parse.ly/setting-up-campaign-tracking-parsely/">campaigns</a>, or referring URL. Geographic segments are the most common use case from this category.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-geographic-segments">Geographic Segments</h4> <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-we-perform-geographic-segmentation">How we perform geographic segmentation</h5> <p>When you visit a website, your web browser automatically shares certain information with that website to facilitate communication. One key piece of information is your IP address. This information helps websites load correctly on your device and can also provide basic geographic location data, which is often used for things like customizing content to your region or understanding overall website traffic patterns. We leverage your visitors’ IP addresses using MaxMind GeoIP codes and Nielsen US DMA codes to segment your audience.</p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-challenges-to-precise-geographic-segmentation">Challenges to precise geographic segmentation</h5> <p>While we can determine the approximate geographic location of a visitor using their IP address, this may not be accurate if the visitor is using a VPN, proxy server, Tor, or other methods to mask or change their IP address.</p> <p>Additionally, Parse.ly offers privacy tools such as <a href="https://docs.parse.ly/privacy/#h-what-does-disabling-ip-address-tracking-mean">ip anonymization</a> (enabled for new customers, by default). If you’re interested, you may also like to read our <a href="https://docs.parse.ly/privacy/">Privacy Policy</a>. </p> <p>There are limitations to geographic lookups. <a href="https://support.maxmind.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407630607131-Geolocation-Accuracy">The smaller the geographic area, the less accurate the segment will be</a>. And, on occasion, <a href="https://docs.parse.ly/data-pipeline-common-questions/#h-why-is-some-of-the-geolocation-data-missing">pieces of the geographic data could be missing</a>.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="segments-based-on-custom-data">Segments based on custom data</h3> <p>Custom segmentation is often helpful to reveal what your most valued customers are interested in consuming. If there’s anything you know about your reader, you can pass that to Parse.ly. So that means you can see what your paying readers, newsletter subscribers, and/or logged-in users are interested in. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Setting up segments</h2> <p>Regardless of which option you choose, the process of setting up Audience Segments in Parse.ly involves understanding your target audience and mapping them to your business objectives. If you would like assistance with this task, please contact your <a href="mailto:value@parsely.com">Relationship Manager</a> to review successful case studies and to develop a strategy for your team.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-geographic-segmentation-set-up">Geographic segmentation set up</h3> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>Check to see the number of segments that you’ve purchased (usually multiples of 5).</li> <li>Determine how geographic segmentation will help you achieve your business objectives.</li> <li>Select your regions of interest by using the following guidelines and examples: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>The United States is one country and we can track it with one segment</li> <li>The 50 states of the US are 50 places that would require 50 segments.</li> <li>“Springfield and Shelbyville” is a region consisting of two towns that we can track with one segment.</li> <li>Think of the world map as your Venn diagram.

The server uses the user’s Marketo ID (stored in the “_mkto_track” cookie) to look up the user in the Marketo database.</li> <li>If the server finds a user, it will look at the user’s data and see if they are a paid subscriber or not. If they are a paid subscriber, you will create a cookie called “paid_subscriber” and set it to true.</li> <li>When the request returns to the website, the client-side JavaScript checks that cookie. If that cookie exists, it uses the Parse.ly JavaScript library to send a pageview call to Parse.ly with the extra data attached (<a href="#h-sample-code">sample code</a>). </li> <li>Our system will read the pixel with extra data attached and categorize the view appropriately.</li> </ol> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sample-code">Sample code</h4> <p>Here’s an example of what custom segment tracking code might look like for a user that is subscribed to a “basic” plan. This uses the recommended update defaults method:</p> <div class="a8c-docs-note-block general"> <p><strong>Caution</strong></p> <p>Any segmentation code must be placed <em>before</em> your standard Parsely tracking snippet.</p> </div> <div class="wp-block-a8c-docs-syntax-highlighting a8c-docs-syntax"><pre class="line-numbers prism-large" data-start="1"><code class="lang-html"><script> window.PARSELY = window.PARSELY || { autotrack: false, onReady: function() { PARSELY.updateDefaults({ data: { plan: "basic" } }); PARSELY.beacon.trackPageView(); } }; </script>   </code></pre><textarea aria-hidden="true" class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-textarea"><script> window.PARSELY = window.PARSELY || { autotrack: false, onReady: function() { PARSELY.updateDefaults({ data: { plan: "basic" } }); PARSELY.beacon.trackPageView(); } }; </script>   </textarea><button class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button" type="button"><span class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button__before">Copy</span><span class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button__after" aria-hidden="true">Copied</span></button></div> <p>In the example above, note that in the call to <code>PARSELY.updateDefaults, we provide an object like this:</code></p> <div class="wp-block-a8c-docs-syntax-highlighting a8c-docs-syntax"><pre class="line-numbers prism-large" data-start="1"><code class="lang-js">{ data: { plan: "<name of plan>" } }</code></pre><textarea aria-hidden="true" class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-textarea">{ data: { plan: "<name of plan>" } }</textarea><button class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button" type="button"><span class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button__before">Copy</span><span class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button__after" aria-hidden="true">Copied</span></button></div> <p>You <em>must</em> pass a <code>data object that matches this shape. Within the <code>data object, you can use whatever key/value strings best describe your business logic. For example, the following would also be valid:</code></code></p> <div class="wp-block-a8c-docs-syntax-highlighting a8c-docs-syntax"><pre class="line-numbers prism-large" data-start="1"><code class="lang-js">{ data: { user_type: "anonymous", content_type: "free" } }</code></pre><textarea aria-hidden="true" class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-textarea">{ data: { user_type: "anonymous", content_type: "free" } }</textarea><button class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button" type="button"><span class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button__before">Copy</span><span class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button__after" aria-hidden="true">Copied</span></button></div> <p>Booleans may also be used, as in this example:</p> <div class="wp-block-a8c-docs-syntax-highlighting a8c-docs-syntax"><pre class="line-numbers prism-large" data-start="1"><code class="lang-js">{ data: { Logged_in: true, } }</code></pre><textarea aria-hidden="true" class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-textarea">{ data: { Logged_in: true, } }</textarea><button class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button" type="button"><span class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button__before">Copy</span><span class="a8c-docs-syntax__copy-button__after" aria-hidden="true">Copied</span></button></div> <p>In a real integration, the value of each data property will be set by your business logic. This means that any value you intend to use for segmentation must be available client-side by the time the Parse.ly tracker loads. It’s also important to consistently handle <code>null values; in the example above, if a current user isn't subscribed to any plan, you would have to choose between setting <code>data.plan to <code>null or simply skipping the call to <code>PARSELY.updateDefaults.</code></code></code></code></p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Valid values</h4> <p>Value strings are treated as case-sensitive by default.</p> <p>Segmentation values should represent general categories of users. Sending personal information like names or email addresses is ineffective for creating segments, and a violation of our <a href="https://docs.parse.ly/api-terms-of-use/">terms of use</a>.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-custom-audience-segments-integration-using-google-tag-manager-gtm">Custom audience segments integration using Google Tag Manager (GTM)</h4> <p>If you used Google Tag Manager (GTM) to implement the Parse.ly tracker, you can use the same tag to assist with setting up Audience Segments as described <a href="https://docs.parse.ly/google-tag-manager/#h-tracker">here</a>.</p> <div class="a8c-docs-note-block general"> <p><strong>Note</strong></p> <p>If you don’t see the <em>Custom Audience Segments</em> section you may be on an older version of the tag template.
