Understand & manage your location when you search on Google

When you use Google, like with Maps, Search or Google Assistant, your current location is used to give you more helpful results. For example, if you search for coffee shops, you’re likely searching for coffee shops near you. Your location helps to show you nearby results, even if you didn't include a location in your search.

Your location comes from a variety of sources, which are used together to estimate where you are. You can update your location settings as you use Google services to get the search results you want and control your privacy in a way that's right for you.

If you want to learn more about how location works before changing your settings, below you’ll find info on how Google determines location when you search.

Update your location to get better local results

If you’re searching for something nearby and not finding local search results, try these fixes:

  • Add your current location to your search, like coffee shops in Chelsea.
  • Check that your device sends location to Google when you search. Follow the steps below to manage your device location settings.

You can help Google give you better results from your home or work when you set:

Manage your device location settings

Most computers can send location information to websites, even if they don’t have GPS. You can control whether location is sent from your device to a website, like google.com, by changing the location permissions in your browser.

Important: You might need to check your computer’s location settings or system preferences.

Manage location permissions for google.com

  1. On your computer, open your browser and go to google.com.
  2. At the top left, in the address bar, click Lock Lock and then Site settings and then Location. In some browsers you may need to right-click the address bar or check the settings menu.
  3. Select Allow or Block for google.com.

Important: It can sometimes take a long time for your browser to get your current device location. To give you search results quickly, google.com might use your device's location from the last time you used Google. This location is stored in a cookie set to expire after 6 hours.

How Google determines your location when you search

When you use Google, like with Maps, Search or Google Assistant, your current location is estimated from several sources, depending on their availability.

Important: Most of these sources of location can be controlled using either your device's permissions, your account preferences, or other settings. Learn more below about how your choices affect your privacy and location.

Sources for determining location when you search

When you use Google, you can find out how your location was estimated at the bottom of the results page.

Location controls & your privacy

When you search on Google, Google will always estimate the general area that you’re searching from. Estimating the general area that you’re in means that Google can give you relevant results, and keep your account safe by detecting unusual activity, such as signing in from a new city.

A general area is larger than 1 sq mi, and has at least 1000 users so that the general area of your search does not identify you, helping to protect your privacy. This means that a general area is typically much larger than 1 sq mi outside of cities. The estimated general area comes from the location sources described in this article.

If you grant location permissions to google.com or Google apps on your device, then when you search, your precise location will be used by Google to show you the best search results. Precise location means exactly where you are, such as a particular address.

If you set your home or work addresses, and Google estimates that you’re at home or work, then the exact address will be used for your search.
