New tool: KML and Geo sitemap generator
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 | Tools
Today I launched my very new tool: the KML and Geo sitemap generator. However it’s still in beta I think it’s pretty usable right now and it will be a lifesaver for all your local search activities.
When you want your office locations to be showed in Google Maps you’ll need a Geositemap with a KML file attached to that. The KML file contains all the location data, including the needed geocoding information. You have to upload it to your server and point to it from the geo sitemap (which also has to be on that server). This geo sitemap can be added in your Google Webmaster Tools, just like a normal XML sitemap.
So all I can say now: just try the tool, enjoy it and if you have any questions you can always contact me.
PS: I want to thank Mike Blumenthal, David Mihm and Martijn Beijk for all the testing and improvement suggestions. You rock, guys!

Geweldige tool!
Wat ik er nog aan toe zou willen voegen is de mogelijkheid om custom markers (zoals een logo) toe te voegen!
Voor de rest zeer bruikbaar volgens mij!
@Willem Indeed, that’s a cool idea and is on the planning for a while.. I only have to find some time to do it :-)
Exactly what I was looking for! Thnx!
