GeoSurf Review
Our products are shared across different countries with different rules. We use GeoSurf to help log-in in different locations to make tests. It can be used by testers, developers and managers to validate releases or simply check if the apps are working correctly in these locations. The tool is used across all the organisation.
- Easy to use
- Fast and reliable service
- Good range of localizations
- Show the IP after choosing a localisation.
- Set different IP for each tab of the browser. Good to compare different tabs/localizations.
GeoSurf is used by our campaign operations team that manages campaigns for various markets (with multiple advertisers) across the EMEA region. With GeoSurf it's easy to switch your browser to the needed country. This way we were able to tackle geo-settings on creatives, but we also use it for print screens to show the advertiser that the campaign(s) run on preferred inventory.
In addition to adjusting our geo settings, GeoSurf is also used for mobile emulation. With an increasing number of mobile campaigns, it's helpful to easily switch your browser into a 'mobile device' (e.g. Apple iPhone 6).

- Flexibility to switch countries (if you need another country on your GeoSurf account, you can easily send a request to your GeoSurf contact).
- Mobile Emulation.
- Great support!
- Experienced problems with the GeoSurf toolbar in several browsers (it's currently not working in Chrome for example).
- Missing an overview of the contract (can't see how many countries we can add/how many change requests we can send, etc.).

Leave it to GeoSurf
My company has customers around the world, and I lead a team that places and manages content for websites and mobile apps in 10 different languages in countries from Europe to Latin America. My team relies heavily on GeoSurf to monitor the content we place on those sites, as it is important for us to view the sites as they are seen in the countries where our customers are accessing the content.
- GeoSurf is a powerful tool that allows us to switch from the different versions of our websites in country to country very quickly.
- It has a very easy-to-use interface and toolbar which makes changing countries very easy.
- GeoSurf has a mobile view which allows us to see what mobile content looks like in a given country within a web browser.
- Occasionally a country will stop working for periods of time. They usually come back eventually, but can be a bit annoying when you need to see content in that country.
- GeoSurf can interfere with the default browser proxy settings and interfere with loading content when it is turned off.
- It's not really a GeoSurf problem, rather an issue on our company network, but some of my team are unable to access one country in particular, and we are having trouble getting this issue sorted by our IT team.

Geosurf for Analysis
Select teams use Geosurf to reproduce the user experience across the locales supported by our site. It ensures that ads and partners present exactly as they did to the user.
- Geosurf offers the most relevant locales
- Geosurf is very responsive when an IP address stops working or is blocked
- The mobile emulator is particularly helpful
- There doesn't appear to be quality control across IP addresses, at least those supplied to my team. We are the ones that notice when they stop working. Geosurf could be more proactive in finding failing sites.

GeoSurf is easy to use and reliable
Our monetization team uses Geosurf to take screenshots for international advertising campaigns and also for troubleshooting purposes.
- It's very easy and super convenient to use, since it's easily accessible via the toolbar menu of my browser and I can turn it on and off without any issues.
- The additional mobile emulator is a nice feature, it's more reliable than any methods I have to test mobile otherwise.
- It's great at what it does. It does one thing and it does it very well and is very reliable.
- I like the tool, but if I needed to cut costs this is probably the first thing that would go. It's nice to have and it works great, but most things we spend money on have much broader capabilities.
- We had some issues where all of our users we using a single sign on and there were some surprise overage fees. It would be great if there were automated alerts or usage reports to see who is using the tool, and how often (which may also help justify the expense).

Making Geo Testing Websites a Breeze
[It's used for] testing webpages outside of our country of origin for geo-targeted campaigns and sites. We have offices in other countries so it's important certain features and services work, and we always find it useful to have a service that helps us do this remotely.
- It works! Some other services claim they do, but I often find limitations which makes them useless.
- It has a Mobile VPN, again something not all the others do.
- It's safe and secure, and that is very important when dealing with "not so trusting" locations.
- Perhaps have a checkbox to remember password. Since I use long random passwords and a password manager I never remember the password and always have to do a run around to get it.
- Maybe a debugger for when it's not working properly. I have had [issues] before where a country made all sites not work.

- It enables me to surf the internet like a local user, this way I can check that geotargeting is working properly, research new markets, and validate funnels.
- Sometimes there are error messages when I switch to using my browser without a proxy, but clearing cache & cookies (as they recommend on their site) fixes the problem.
