Map Files for Branches and SEO

[PeteC12]

Dear All,

We have an xml and image site map but we currently don't have a separate GEO Site Map / map files for our branches.

I am wondering if such a thing exists and if so , if this something that we should be doing to help our branches rank locally on google maps etc. We have google local listings for our branches and we already do schema.org for our branches.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

thanks

Peter

Google's Geo Sitemaps were retired in 2012, in XML format, but there's still KML support in Google Maps: https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/mapsSupport

Here's a post discussing that as well: http://www.searchoptions.com.au/how-to-submit-kml-files-in-location-sitemap-for-your-local-business/
