Currently, the targeting features in Linko are prioritized in a specific order. The list below shows which features have more importance (priority), starting from the top:

  1. IP Targeting

  3. Device Targeting
  4. Geo-Targeting

Example: If you set geo-targeting for New York to go to [abc.xyz] and also set language targeting for English to go to [xyz.abc], the language targeting will take priority.

This means that users in New York who have their browser language set to English will be redirected to [xyz.abc] instead of the geo-targeted link.
