Google has put up a list of all their geo related twitter accounts and this is something I wanted to share with you in case you haven’t read it already.

twitter.com/GoogleMaps
twitter.com/GoogleEarth
twitter.com/EarthOutreach
twitter.com/SketchUp
twitter.com/3DWH
twitter.com/Modelyourtown
twitter.com/GoogleSkyMap

The twitter accounts are pretty self explanatory.

BTW: remember you can follow me on twitter too! @martijnbeijk is where you will find my tweets.

Google’s Geo related Twitter accounts

Google just released one of their most popular products, Google Earth, with over 400 million downloads for the iPhone! It’s a free download from the iTunes App store and it also features the My Location feature. Local Search information with Google Earth right on your iPhone! The iPhone seems to be a perfect device for navigating Google Earth as well using the tilt/gyro sensors.
There is a button in the application that will find businesses directly located near you. Even the more reason for Small Business Owners to get their business listed in the Local Business Center.
Remember, the iphone is a very popular phone so plenty of opportunities/new clients waiting to find your business!
Download the application in the App store.
Video after the break!

Local Search with Google Earth on the iPhone!

Most of you in the Local SEO business have probably heard of KML, but consider it a buzzword, Chinese or something they don’t want to get their hands dirty on.
But what is KML and how can it help you in your local SEO strategy? Recently Eric Enge from StoneTemple consulting interviewed Google’s Director of product management for Google Local, Carter Maslan, where he said that having a KML available in a geositemap that is authenticated with Google will automatically result in authentication of your KML file with Google and thus act as a trusted source for your business locations.

So I decided to write a tutorial to make it all a bit more easier to understand, and especially, giving step by step instructions on how to implement the KML.

If you would like to know more about using KML implementation for Local Search Engine Optimization you can head on and read my tutorial! You can find it here :
