Hi, We are an ISP based in UK. We have got an ip block from RIPE which is 5.250.176.0/20. All the main search engines like yahoo shows we are based in UK. But Google thinks we are from Saudi Arabia and we redirected to www.google.com.sa<http://www.google.com.sa> instead of googlw.co.uk. I have sent lot of emails to google but no luck. All the information from google are in Arabic and youtube shows some weird videos as well. Could anyone please help me to sort this out? Would be much appreciated for your time.

I have had my best luck with getting google to correct geo-loc issues by sending it in as a business end user instead of as an ISP. If you have a user who is being affected directly by the incorrect geo-loc data (My store is showing in the wrong country), Google takes that much more seriously than the issue affecting dynamically assigned blocks. Need coffee…perhaps unclear. Message me off list and I can explain a little better. On Feb 10, 2014, at 6:59 AM, Praveen Unnikrishnan <piu@pmgroupuk.com> wrote:

There is a geoloc attribute for the inetnum fields, maybe you could try an set it, just in case someone uses it sometines... Regards, S. Vallerot
I've had similar trouble. Google thought we were in Israel, even months after filling in the form on the page Jonathan linked to, on several occasions. This was years after being allocated the address block by RIPE. We eventually got it sorted dead quick by implementing "Self-published IP Geolocation Data" and asking noc@google.com to use it. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-google-self-published-geofeeds-02 On Friday 07 February 2014 15:20:40 Praveen Unnikrishnan wrote:
