What is the Difference Between "State/Region," "IP State/Region," and "IP StateCode/Region Code"

Post by KeliaDracu »

Hello,

What is the difference between the default HubSpot Contact properties:
"State/Region,"
"IP State/Region," and
"IP StateCode/Region Code?"

I'm displaying a large difference in the number of contacts for each.

Thanks!

IP State/Region: This property represents the state or region inferred from the contact's IP address. When a contact interacts with your website or submits a form, their IP address can be used to approximate their geographical location. HubSpot attempts to determine the state or region based on the IP address and populates this property accordingly.

"State/Region" refers to the state or region associated with the contact's physical address. "IP State/Region" is based on the IP address and provides the state or region associated with the contact's internet connection. "IP StateCode/Region Code" represents the abbreviated code for the state or region obtained from the IP address. The differences in contact numbers could be due to varying data sources or the accuracy of the IP-based data. If you need further assistance, you can access 192.168.100.1 for more information. Hope this clarifies things for you!
