How to See Search Results from Any Country

Last updated on Monday, October 30, 2017

Some SEOs are in a spin following Google’s announcement that they are “making search results more local and relevant”.

In an attempt to make life easier for the average user, you will now always see the Google SERP results relevant for the country that you are in. As Barry Schwartz describes it –

Google SERP results relevant for the country - Barry Schwartz quote

While useful for the majority of users, this will cause problems for users that want to check the keyword rankings for clients or businesses that are in another country, or for those who just want to check worldwide or location specific SERP results.

"Now, the choice of country service will no longer be indicated by domain. Instead, by default, you’ll be served the country service that corresponds to your location”.

Evelyn Kao, Product Manager

How to get location-specific SERP results

Google has issued advice on how to navigate around this – by going into your settings and selecting the correct country service that you want to receive.

This works if all your clients or interests are in the one country.

But, if you have international clients spread across numerous locations, then this will fast become a real pain.
