GEO location issue with google

Mon Feb 10 13:11:59 UTC 2014

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.

But Google thinks we are from Saudi Arabia and we redirected to www.google.com.sa<http://www.google.com.sa><http://www.google.com.sa> instead of googlw.co.uk<http://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.
