The internet guesses my location wrong?

When you type "Where am I" into google search, it will try to guess your location. There are also other sites that will somehow guess your location, and advertisements will do this too.

However, everywhere I go on the internet seems to think I live in Grand Rapids, while this is simply not true. Why does the internet think I live in Grand Rapids?
