Meta-Geo
This signal marks the presence of geographic metadata tags (geo.position, geo.placename, ICBM) that declare a page’s physical location. ScanMalware records them from the page’s meta tags.
Geo meta tags are informational and mostly used for local SEO. They are self-declared, so they can be inaccurate or deliberately misleading and should not be treated as authoritative.
