Welcome to the Q&A Forum

When I searched for "mapping software", a carousel of images which displayed a variety of different companies appeared above the results list. Does anyone know what this is and how you go about getting your company into this carousel?

The attached image displays the carousel.

Problem:

Our organization publish maps for public viewing using google maps. We are currently getting limited value from these links. We need to separate our public and private maps for infrastructure purposes, and are weighing up the strengths and weaknesses of separating by domain or sub domain with regards SEO and infrastructure.

Current situation:

maps.mycompany.com currently has a page authority of 30 and mycompany.com has a domain authority of 39. We are currently only getting links from 8 maps which are shared via social media whereas most people embed our maps on their website using an iframe which I believe doesn't do us any favour with SEO. We currently have approx 3K public maps.

Question:

What SEO impact can you see if we move our public maps from the subdomain maps.mycompany.com to mycompanypublicmaps.com?

Thanks in advance for your help and happy to give more info if you need it!
