Search Google from another country

Use the free tool at the top of this page. Pick the country, optionally a city and language, type your query, and press search. The real results page for that location opens on that country’s Google domain in a new tab. No VPN, no app, no account.

Set the country in the tool above, pick a city and language if you want them, and press search. The results page opens on that country's own Google domain, so the rankings, ads, and local pack are the ones a person there actually sees. No VPN, browser setting, or account is involved.

No. The tool runs in the browser you already have, on desktop and on any phone. A VPN changes your IP address, which is a slower way to get a similar result; the comparison further up this page covers when a VPN is actually worth it.

Yes. The location search on this page is free and unlimited, with no trial and no card. It is the free utility the site started as, and the paid products are separate tools you can ignore.

No. Type a query, pick a country, and the results open. Nothing is saved to a profile because there is no profile.

Close, but not identical. Country, city, language, and the local Google domain are the biggest factors and the tool sets all four. Your IP address still comes from where you are, which can shift a few local results and some ad targeting.

You will see ads on the results page, and they are usually the ones targeted at that country. Treat them as a strong signal rather than proof, since advertisers can also target by IP address and by audience. For ad checks you can rely on, use the ad tracker or a search from a real in country IP.

It is the encoded location Google reads to decide which city a search comes from. The tool builds it from the city you pick, which is why the map pack and the near me results move with your selection.

This free tool opens the search in your own browser, so the device is whatever you are using. To compare desktop and mobile results side by side, use Proxy Search, where the device is a setting.

Two usual causes. You are signed in to a Google account that keeps a strong location preference, or Google redirected you to your own domain. Try the search in a private window, and check that the address bar still shows the country domain you picked.

This page covers Google, which is where almost all of the location differences show up. Other engines, plus AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity, are covered by the tracking products.
