I guess the long term answer to this is going to be RFC8805 and RFC9092.

You stick a CSV file on the web matching your IP blocks to a city and state,
then add a comment on your IP Blocks with ARIN which contains a URL to the
geofeed CSV.

 

The geolocation providers who support this will periodically check ARIN
WHOIS for those URL's and then once they have it they'll refresh multiple
times per day.  

If they have other data they think is more accurate they can use that, but
it lets you prime them with at least the right city and state.

Which services do you need to update when you move IP blocks or get new
blocks?

 

I can't believe they all have their own separate databases.  There must be
smaller ones that key off of larger ones.
