GeoSearch™
Search Google as if you were somewhere else.
A local search emulator solves a real problem that many Google users do not even know they have. That is why we built GeoSearch™, a free Chrome extension: it shows you the Google results page as it appears in locations of your choice, with no proxy server or VPN. Try it right here.
Opens the Google results page as it appears in that city, in a new tab. No proxy server, no VPN. The same tool as the free GeoSearch™ Chrome extension.
Google results vary depending on where the searcher is.
Search engines are designed to provide the most relevant information possible to satisfy a query. In many cases, relevance depends on where the searcher is located and in what language they are searching. Google uses your IP address, and sometimes your device’s GPS, to record your most probable location.
Search “aquarium” in Baltimore and Google assumes you want the National Aquarium downtown. The same search in Los Angeles surfaces the Santa Monica, Monterey, and Long Beach aquariums instead.
The same is true for brands and individuals. Google will often serve locally relevant results: job openings in a specific location, content in a local language, depending on where the searcher is.
For businesses and brands with stakeholders in many different locations, being able to see how you look in multiple places at once is crucial.
A reputation challenge in one market can be invisible from where you sit.
If you have a reputation challenge in a specific location, you may not be aware of it from searching Google in your current location. For a brand or individual with audiences spread across markets, that blind spot is the whole risk.
In Chrome: enter a keyword, a city, and a language. GeoSearch™ does the rest.
Install the free GeoSearch™ Chrome extension and it sits in your browser toolbar. It shows you the Google results page as it appears in locations of your choice, with no proxy server or VPN. All you do is enter the keyword, the city, and the language.

GeoSearch™ was built by Five Blocks, the digital reputation management firm, to answer a question our clients live with every day: what does the results page look like to the people who matter, wherever they are?
It sits alongside our other proprietary instruments. IMPACT™ tracks the branded Google results page over time and against peers; AIQ tracks how your story surfaces across AI engines; WikiAlerts™ flags Wikipedia edits as they happen. GeoSearch™ adds the dimension the others assume: location.
