How search engines personalize results

Location

Google uses your location to personalize the results for searches with local intent. That’s why all results for “italian restaurant” are from or about local restaurants. Google knows you’re unlikely to fly halfway around the world for lunch.

Language

Google knows there’s no point in showing English results to Spanish users. That’s why it ranks localized versions of content (if available) to users who speak different languages.

Google ranks different versions of pages for different languages

Search history

Google saves the things you do and places you go to give you a more personalized search experience. You can opt out of this, but most people probably don’t.
