Based on the assumption that the search results of a query on Google vary from a location to another, I need to test the search results for the website of a shop in a city far from mine. I can find the shop I’m looking for in the first page results if I add the name of the city as a keyword, but I am pretty sure it appears without this if a user from around this city does the search with only the keywords.
How can I test that? I would like to pretend, using Google, that my location is another city than the one it has identified for me.

Google and other service use GEO location API to get more accurate results, since IP(Specially Mobile IP) does not return always correct location.
In chrome dev tool you can put any geo coordinate location for testing/debug purpose, and Google will use it in your local search query.
To do that first open chrome dev tool(CTRL+SHIFT+I) then click on menu(Three vertical dot), then go to more tools, then select sensors and then you can enter your latitude and longitude coordinates.
You can use uule query parameter to emulate a local search.
