How Do I Replicate a Search in a Different Location?

Since we have clients with customers all over the world, we need to audit keyword phrases in different locations.  And I bet you would like to also see how your top keyword phrases are ranking in geo-targeted markets!  In November, 2015 Google deleted the location search filter which wasn’t cool.  However, there are easy workarounds.

1:  Use Google AdPreview (you don’t have to be logged in to adwords)

2:  ISearchFrom.com

3:  Location Emulation in Google Chrome

FYI: Google’s line is that the location search filter wasn’t getting much use so they removed it.  Hmmmm.  What you can do is change the auto-detected search location to a more precise location they select for you.  But this isn’t going to help you see how your keyword phrase is ranking in a different market than you happen to be hanging out at or where your IP address is.

Happy content marketing SEO and now you CAN replicate a search in a different location!
