SEO fixes for site with many redirection

Hello warriors,

I'm working on this project and seems like it need quite some fixes. Please check the problems I noticed as well as proposed fixes as below, and feels free to comment if the plan is viable.

This site got quite some redirection:

(A) GeoIP redirection: Based on the visitors / bots IP, it'll redirect them to specific country's sub-domain if available, e.g.

HK visitors will be redirected to: hk.theproject .com
SG visitors will be redirected to: sg.theproject .com
Else, it'll remains at www.theproject .com

And all these country site and global site are 99% identical. And of course, customer will like to show the country site in corresponding search engine, e.g. hk.theproject .com to show in google.com.hk

Fix: To build links to each country site from websites hosted in each country

(B) Splash greeting page. Customer will like to show a splash greeting page, furthermore we got 3 versions of these for different times in a days, namely: /splash-morning, /splash-afternoon, /splash-night

Combine these 3 splash page into one single URL, e.g. /splash-greeting which I'll then write some server side script to show the contents different, instead of redirecting to different URL at different times as current set up

(C) After seeing these splash greeting page for few seconds, visitors will be redirected to a questionnaire page. Filling it is optional as they can click on the "skip this". Then only, a visitor can be landed at the intended landing page.

Well, I'm headaching with this one. Loading the forms in a pop-up lightbox may be, but I'm having difficulties in doing so as it's written by another vendor located in another server and getting them to works together is hard. Still looking for best possible fix for this

That's all I'm looking into right now, is there any things you'll advise me to do differently, or is there any aspects that I shall pay more attention to?

Thanks in advance!
