Google Search Loves You If You Create Maps

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

It’s already a well-known fact around the SEO community, but it seems there is a lengthy lobbying to be done online to change mentalities about traditional SEO. Google SEO is not just about keyword strategies, links and hyper-active blogging. Today’s shortcut for professionals is Google Maps. Google invests a lot of time and energy in geo-technologies, as it believes it is the direction the mainstream Web is heading towards, and it pushes its geo-located search results on top of its SERPs (search engine result pages).

Today, an engineer of Google Maps reminds on the Google Latlong blog that user-generated content will get blended into maps and distributed across the Google Search pages.

Some of our more regular users may have noticed that we’d been sparingly doing this for a while now, occasionally surfacing results from KML, GeoRSS, or Wikipedia we crawl from the web, along with photos and videos we think would be useful - but now we’ve opened the floodgates! From now on, you can expect to see more higher quality user-created content to show up, often intermixed with our traditional results.

In other words, just create maps, Google will find them and index your content if it thinks your content adds value to the Google geo-search experience.

Off course, here at Click2Map, we are proud to be positioned as one of the leaders in the map creation space. Anyone can sign up to our service, easily generate a massive amount of geo-located content on Google Maps, and let the magic of Google bots do the rest.

Remember, Google makes it easy for anyone to find anything, but we make it easy for Google to find you.
