Are there specific ways to use this tool and generate a geo sitemap when you have one website with multiple locations….

Or for service oriented business with a service area and no physical location?

Nice tool, especially for multiple locations. You can also use http://www.mygeoposition.com

We have seen ranking improvements for about 1 year now with Geo-Meta tags and KML.

@jeff

I doubt that is has any significant affect on rank. It reassures Google that you are who you say you are, gives them a reliable way to place you and your site geographically.

It does show as user content on your places page so it might provide tiny bit of ranking oomph but more importantly it sneds a strong “do not merge” signal.

Good tool, my best guess is that this will be an emerging SEO tactic for better local and map results. Everything I have read so far says there is no correlation between with KML or Geo Sitemaps and hire rankings / better performance.

Does anyone else have experience that says otherwise?
Regardless, nice find Mike.
