The answer is false.
An Explicit location is a new concept that Google uses when a searcher is performing a local search and includes the location as well. For instance, instead of searching for “hotel”, the searcher could specify the location and search for Washington Hotel. Searching locations in this way clearly shows that you are looking for something in a specific location. An explicit location is treated as the dominant location of the query and may not be the actual location intent of the query.
