Google result shows a country name (which is an error)

    why does Google shows a country name (in green font) right in front of domain result? open Google.ca and search domain greatsol-seo.com and see the word "Afghanistan" written against it.

    This is very interesting issue. I researched a bit earlier today and I saw Afghanistan, but now it's without that in SERP. Did you made some change today?

    Sorry, I searched on Google.com later. It's still on Google.ca (and Google.rs btw, and probably some more local).
    I'm very intrigated so I'll do more research regarding this

    The only relation with Afghanistan I see is that your hosting is softhof.com, Pakistanian firm. And Pakistan and Afghanistan are neighbour countries, and country codes are next to each other (92 and 93). So maybe Google.ca (and few others) mixed up that 2 and that's why it shows Afghanistan.

    Thank you so much for your precious time.. i really appreciate that :) but i don't think hosting service has something to do with the issue... i decided to write Google to fix the issue. what do you think? isn't it the best way to resolve things?

    Yeah, well, contacting Google seams as a good move.
    And you could add phisical address in footer on all pages, with word "Canada" on it. That could make good change, too.

    Btw, why Afghanistan, that's still the question. I'm still with hosting in my head, as closest possible solution. Of course not shore.
