How to See Google Results From Another Country
See Google results from another country or city: why they differ, how gl, hl and UULE work, when a VPN is enough and when a local proxy is the better tool.
Read article →How it works
- Open the page. The check runs on its own, because there is nothing to type: the address is read from your connection to our server.
- The address is looked up in a live IP database for its location, provider (ISP), network (ASN) and connection type.
- Your request is inspected for headers a proxy adds, such as
ViaorX-Forwarded-For. - Your browser then compares its own time zone with the IP location and runs a WebRTC test to see whether a second address is exposed.
What it shows
- Public IP — the IPv4 or IPv6 address sites see, with a copy button.
- Location — city, region and country as the IP database records them.
- Provider and ASN — the company that owns the address block.
- Connection type — home or office ISP, mobile carrier, datacenter or known VPN, proxy or Tor exit.
- Proxy header leaks — whether a proxy in your path announces itself or forwards your real address.
- WebRTC leak — whether the browser reveals another public address, a common VPN gap.
- Time zone match — whether your browser clock agrees with the IP location.
Why it matters for SEO work
Google personalises and localises results by the searcher’s IP. When you check your own rankings, the map pack, “near me” results, prices and ads are picked for the city this tool shows, not for your customers’ city. Knowing that explains most cases of “I rank first but my client can’t find us”. The connection type matters too: datacenter and VPN addresses get CAPTCHAs and thinner results far more often, so a search made from one is not a fair view of a normal visitor’s page.
How to use the results
- Checking another market — add
&gl=(country) and&hl=(language) to a Google search URL, or turn on a VPN for that country, then reload this page to confirm the new location. - Fixing a WebRTC leak — enable the WebRTC protection in your VPN app or a browser setting that limits WebRTC to the proxied connection.
- Proxy headers present — a corporate or ISP proxy may be adding them. If you rely on a proxy for privacy, test it with the Proxy Checker first.
- Looking up someone else’s IP or a website’s server — use the IP & Geolocation Lookup instead.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the tool show a city I am not in?
IP databases record where an address block is registered or routed, not where your device is. Mobile networks and some ISPs route traffic through a regional hub, so a city an hour away, or the capital, is common. Country-level location is usually right.
Does a VPN hide my IP from every website?
It replaces your IP with the VPN server’s for the sites you visit, but the VPN provider still sees your real address, and a WebRTC leak can expose it to a page. Run this check with the VPN on: the IP, location and WebRTC rows should all show the VPN server.
Is my IP stored when I use this page?
The page reads the address to show it to you. Like any website, our server logs requests for security and abuse protection; the result itself is not published or shared.
