What is a KML File?

KML stands for Keyhole Markup Language, an XML-based format originally developed for Google Earth. Today, KML files are used to import geographic data into Google My Maps, making them essential for map stacking in local SEO.

A KML file can contain:

  • Location pins with coordinates
  • Pin names and descriptions (with HTML)
  • Custom pin colors and icons
  • Links embedded in descriptions
  • Folder organization for grouped pins

When you upload a KML file to Google My Maps, all this data is imported automatically, saving hours of manual pin creation.

KML File Structure

<Document>-Container for all map data
<Folder>-Groups related pins together
<Placemark>-Individual pin/location
<name>-Pin title (keyword-optimized)
<description>-HTML content with NAP and links
<coordinates>-Latitude and longitude
<Style>-Pin color and icon settings
