Hi,

Thank you for your message.

In order to accomplish this you need to create a custom macro as per: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/types_of_macros.htm?zoom_highlightsub=types%2Bof%2Bmacros

Then in macro you can get the geolocation object of the current user with:

CMS.WebAnalytics.GeoLocation myLocation = CMS.WebAnalytics.GeoIPHelper.GetCurrentGeoLocation();
string myCountry = myLocation.CountryName.ToString();

And then you can work with that and return whatever result you need.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek
