Meta Tags For Geo Location

As a little test (and this is a reminder to myself) I’ve added geo meta tags to a couple of my hyperlocal sites this afternoon.

If you enter your desired location over at mygeoposition you can simply copy and paste the tags that it generates for you into the head section of your page.

Here’s an example for a well known London address:

<meta name=”geo.placename” content=”Downing St, Westminster, London, UK” />
<meta name=”geo.position” content=”51.503207;-0.127162″ />
<meta name=”geo.region” content=”GB-Greater London” />
<meta name=”ICBM” content=”51.503207, -0.127162″ />

So now I’ll wait and see if the tags generate any attention.
