I absolutely ♥️ the Valentin.app (from

So, here’s a handy little bookmarklet. Set up a folder of these for the locales you frequently check to save time (and memory)! #SEO Here’s an example for Seattle: javascript:(function(){window.location.href=window.location.href+'&near=Seattle';})();

Whoops! I just realized that the bookmarklet I created just keeps appending params without cleaning up. Here’s v. 2, now with RegExp: javascript:(function(){window.location=window.location.toString().replace(/&near=[^&]*/,'')+'&near=Seattle';})()

For more info about the more accurate method used by valentin.app (“uule” parameter), see: Google UULE parameter – a 2020 guide to geolocation valentin.app/uule.html The “near” param is quick-and-dirty, and organic results (non Map Pack) may still be local to you.

valentin.app is an easy way to get localized SERPs at an exact location without any additional tools.

Okay, I’m on id10t. While walking my dog it occurred to me that my stupid bookmarklet was no better than a plain old bookmark. Heh. So I wired it up to take two prompts: the query and the locale. So here’s v.3. github.com/richtatum/rich

📍 Oh, geez, not another post on this thread! Umm. Yeah… Locale Bookmarklet Mark IV. It occurred to me I should test whether the active URL was Google or not. Now if you are already on a Google SERP, then you are only prompted for locale. Et Voilà! github.com/richtatum/rich
