How to Fix Region or Language Settings on Google

When using a VPN and visiting Google or YouTube, Google can sometimes incorrectly detect your region. This can result in search results and advertisements from that region that may not be relevant to you. In some cases, it may even cause search results and advertisements to appear in a different language.

If you are experiencing this issues and suspect Google has incorrectly detected your region, you've come to the right place. Fixing your Google region setting is a quick and easy process.

Step 4

Scroll down to the "Region Settings" section and click "Show more" to see a full list of countries.

Step 5

Select the correct region and press the "Save" button. Your region will now be saved to the proper setting.
