Google uses a combination of methods to determine your location and customize your search results:
- IP address: Google can approximate your location based on your IP address.
- GPS: If you are using a mobile device with GPS enabled, Google can pinpoint your exact location.
- Wi-Fi: Google also considers nearby Wi-Fi networks to determine your location.
Once Google has your location, it can show you local search results, maps, and other location-based information. This customization is especially helpful when looking for nearby restaurants, stores, or services.
