Google actually does this a lot already. It's a very minor thing, but pay attention to the text when signing up for Google services in various countries (cloud, ads, play, etc...), and who you are actually paying your money to. Much of the time, you aren't paying to Google Inc.

You can poke around this page to see the different companies (at least around taxes for Ads): https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2375370?hl=en

Ex: Australia is "Google Australia Pty Limited". Japan is "Google Japan G.K.".
