I’ve been using a few other KML generator sites for a while and was not entirely happy with what they produced. For creating individual ones I would just code them by hand. Lately I was thinking of just building a better one that did things the way I wanted. But it looks like you might have just beaten me to it.

Thx @mary and @Tym for commenting. The tool is definitely a time saver. And while this might not directly lead to higher rankings, adding KML files to your website and sitemap. Uploading them to webmaster central definitely gives google a better sense of what sources to trust.

Yes, http://www.geositemapgenerator.com looks very helpful when you have multiple locations.

@Mary Bowling: We have seen ranking improvements for about 1 year now.

Nice tool, but not exactly ground breaking.

Serious local players have been using Geo-Meta and KML tags for a couple of years now. You can also go to http://www.mygeoposition.com to generate your code.

I’ve heard from several sources that KML files can give you a bit of an edge in Local Search. Now that Arjan has created a tool we non-techies can use, I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the heads up!
