URL for location pages
Good advice again from Chas! I think, given your situation, that the URLs you are using with the branch numbers are probably about as good as you can manage. Yes, it would be stronger for SEO if they could more keywords in them instead of just a branch number, but on a project this large, compromises sometimes have to be made. One other item to mention - you have listed 'geosynthetic' locations. This is not a term I'm familiar with, but just in case you are talking about virtual offices, it's important to know that Google does not accept these. No P.O. boxes, no virtual offices. Each location you list in Places must have a unique local area code phone number and unique dedicated physical street address. Hope this helps, and best of luck with the bulk upload! Miriam

Links to Product pages
As far as we know, Shane is right - multiple links to any Page B from Page A basically get ignored. Personally, I don't think that the link from the product # is very obvious to users, but it shouldn't harm SEO. The only minor issue is that the second set of anchor text also probably gets ignored. So, Google sees this links as being on the product name (since that comes first). That should be fine, but it's just something to consider.
