If you've searched "website developer near me," Google is using your device's actual location, GPS on mobile, IP address on desktop, to surface businesses genuinely close to you, ranked by a combination of proximity, relevance and review signals. It's a genuinely useful search when you specifically want someone local, but it's worth being honest that proximity itself doesn't guarantee quality.
This page is here to help you think through what actually matters in that decision, and to be upfront about where we genuinely fit, and don't, depending on where you're searching from.
