Four geo redirect WordPress plugins and a no-plugin route compared from their own listings: location source, redirect types, caching and how each bills.

Bottom line: The four plugin listings read here split by where location data comes from and what each limits: a paid vendor account (Geo Targetly), geo sessions (If-So), a free country-only database with a Pro tier (Advanced GeoIP Redirect) or an API with a daily free allowance (Geo Controller). Page caching decides whether any of them works.

Step by step: give each country its own URL, choose a tool or rule, set the redirect status, redirect once and check crawler handling and accuracy.

Bottom line: Give each country version its own URL and hreflang tags first, add a visible country selector, then redirect by IP only if you still need to. Use a temporary status, redirect on the first visit only and test from several locations. A hosted tool, a Cloudflare rule or a server module can do the redirect.
