    To help the user make an informed choice about where the business is located ( in case more than one region qualifies as an answer to the searcher's query )

    Are you logged in when you search for the keyphrase? I think this is a good attribute in search result for searchers to know the location of the website, probably local listing has something to do with it...

    I guess Online_Eye might be using an addons that can track locations for a certain sites. That varies sometimes specially if we put any tools in our browser.

    It is about geography location selected via Google webmaster tools and some local listing. Many of my websites are located in United states but never being shown like that because I never chosen nor participated in Google Business Listing neither.

    Hey i tried for the same keyword, even by logging in, but it is not showing up any country after the website name ?!?
    how the search results will be different for each person?
