He says “ Geo-location is not a spam “, as long as “you’re showing, if someone’s coming from a French IP address, let’s redirect them to the French version of my page or the French domain for my business that’s totally fine”. The thing that I would do is make sure that you don’t treat search engines any differently than a regular user.

Hence if Google bot comes in, you check the IP address, imagine that we’re coming from the United States, just redirect Google Bot to the United States version of your page or the .com-whatever that you would serve to regular United States Users.

The last part of the question he says, is cloaking and is something he would be “very careful about”. The point is, just treat Google bot like every other user and you should be fine
