It does appear to be going too far at the moment.

As you will know there are 10 quality websites that focus on widgets. Widgets are international things, and there's no important difference between US and UK widgets.

A useful set of search results would have the 10 quality widget sites in the top 10 places. The order of those 10 places might change when the results are geotargeted.

Instead the top US widget site is way down the results in the UK, and the top UK site is way down in the US, and in both cases there's a lot of junk in the results from sites that seem to rank just for mentioning the widget sites above them in the list, and these rank above quality sites from further away.

For buying widgets that doesn't even work. Why have the closest widget site and a whole number of other sites that mention it? You could find that info with a link: command. For people looking for information on widgets it makes for poor search results.
