<p>Today I launched my very new tool: the <a href="http://www.geositemapgenerator.com">KML and Geo sitemap generator</a>. However it&#8217;s still in beta I think it&#8217;s pretty usable right now and it will be a lifesaver for all your local search activities.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.geositemapgenerator.com"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-204" title="Geositemap and KML generator" src="http://arjansnaterse.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Schermafbeelding-2009-10-12-om-15.40.41-535x258.png" alt="Geositemap and KML generator" width="535" height="258" /></a></p>
<p>When you want your office locations to be showed in Google Maps you&#8217;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.</p>
<p>So all I can say now: just <a href="http://www.geositemapgenerator.com">try the tool</a>, enjoy it and if you have any questions you can always <a href="http://arjansnaterse.nl/contact">contact me</a>.</p>
<p>PS: I want to thank <a href="http://blumenthals.com/blog">Mike Blumenthal</a>, <a href="http://www.davidmihm.com/blog/">David Mihm</a> and <a href="http://www.martijnbeijk.com">Martijn Beijk</a> for all the testing and improvement suggestions. You rock, guys!</p>
