      I am slightly confused about how to let Google know to index our site as a complex listing opposed to individual page listing. Our site is well established and has over 3500 indexes. Does this have to do with the Sitemap or is it something else? Is there a way to expedite Google to list our site like the example below.

      Thank you for your help!

        Hi Adam. The answer to your question is "yes" and "no."  Let me explain. What you are referring to is something Google calls "Sitelinks." Here's information on how sitelinks work, directly from Google Webmaster Tools:

        https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47334

        Unfortunately Adam, Google sitelinks are displayed (or not) automatically by Google. The only thing you can rtry to control, is to monitor your site's SERP results and "demote" sitelinks you feel Google is displaying that aren't particularly important or helpful to visitors. Even then, Google retains the option of ignoring your request and continuing to display whatever sitelinnks it chooses to show with your site.

        I hope that helps explain it a little!

        If you want more robust search results I would suggest investigating schema.org and markup of your site for rich snippets.

        Good luck!

        Dana
