Sometimes, it can be Google search results for a different location. Sometimes you will be directed to webpages designed for another country, or you may experience websites that constantly get your location wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will explain the various settings that control how Google and other websites see your location on iPhone, iPad and Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-google-search-or-website-location-is-wrong\">Google search or website location is wrong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Google uses several sources to decide what region it uses to give you search results. If your internet location is wrong in Safari, you may need to check each of these settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-you-using-a-vpn\">Are you using a VPN?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using a VPN, your real IP address is not being used. A VPN will replace your IP address with a different one which makes it appear as though you are in another location. If you use a VPN and are having trouble with searches giving you wrong results or if you are getting webpages for another country, you can turn off the VPN or possibly change some of the settings. Consult your VPN software&#8217;s website for more information on your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-change-your-google-region-setting\">Change your Google Region Setting <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, Google will provide you with results based on your current location. This is so you can get what should be the most relevant results for your searches. However, if you are getting results for the wrong location, or if you want to change your search region because you are traveling and don&#8217;t really want the local results (in the local language), you can <strong>change your Region Setting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Google page for the country you want to use. This will look like <em>google <\/em>followed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Country_code_top-level_domain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">country domain<\/a>. For example, <em>google.us<\/em> for the U.S., <em>google.de<\/em> for Germany, <em>google.tr<\/em> for Turkey, etc. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-settigns-search-settings.png\" alt=\"google search settings\" class=\"wp-image-44695\" width=\"881\" height=\"676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-settigns-search-settings.png 1762w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-settigns-search-settings-400x307.png 400w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-settigns-search-settings-1024x786.png 1024w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-settigns-search-settings-768x589.png 768w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-settigns-search-settings-1536x1179.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 881px) 100vw, 881px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Click on <strong>Settings<\/strong> in the bottom-right corner of the page, then select <strong>Search settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-region-settings.png\" alt=\"google region settings\" class=\"wp-image-44696\" width=\"572\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-region-settings.png 1144w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-region-settings-400x219.png 400w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-region-settings-1024x561.png 1024w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/google-region-settings-768x421.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Scroll down to the <strong>Region Settings<\/strong> section.

Google will also use your IP address to determine your location. Apple offers a feature called <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT212614\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iCloud Private Relay<\/a> for its iCloud+ subscribers. This feature hides your IP address. So if you enable Private Relay, Google won&#8217;t know your location, right? Not necessarily. With Private Relay, your IP address is hidden from Google, but a new, generic one is created that contains information about your general location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you can change the Private Relay settings to use a broader location if you don&#8217;t want your approximate location to be used. If you do want local results based on your location, you can use the narrower region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-change-private-relay-settings\">Change Private Relay settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-on-mac\">On Mac<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/private-relay-on-Mac.png\" alt=\" private relay in Mac iCloud settings\" class=\"wp-image-44691\" width=\"827\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/private-relay-on-Mac.png 1654w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/private-relay-on-Mac-400x281.png 400w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/private-relay-on-Mac-1024x721.png 1024w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/private-relay-on-Mac-768x540.png 768w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/private-relay-on-Mac-1536x1081.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>System Settings<\/strong> (System Preferences) on your Mac.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on your Apple ID name at the top of the left sidebar, or if you are using System Preferences, click the Apple ID icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>iCloud<\/strong>, then under the<strong> iCloud+<\/strong> section, click on <strong>Private Relay<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn Private Relay on if it is off.
