Map widget

The Map widget allows you to display an interactive map directly on your page by entering a physical location or address. It’s a simple and effective way to help visitors understand where you are, where something takes place, or how to find you.

Maps are especially useful for businesses with a physical presence, events, meetings, or services tied to a specific location.

When you add the Map widget to a page, you can configure the following settings:

Location

Enter the address or place you want to display on the map.

Examples:

A business address
An event venue
An office or studio location
A meeting point or pickup location

The map will automatically center itself on the entered location.

Map Type

Choose how the map is visually presented:

Roadmap
A classic map view showing streets, roads, and place names.
Best for:
- Directions
- Finding addresses
- Urban or suburban locations
Satellite
A satellite image view showing real-world terrain and buildings.
Best for:
- Rural or remote locations
- Visual landmarks
- Outdoor venues or nature-based businesses

Zoom Level

The slider at the bottom controls the zoom level of the map.

Zoom in to show a precise location (for example a building entrance).
Zoom out to give visitors broader geographic context.

💡 Tip

Use a closer zoom for storefronts and offices, and a wider zoom for events or destinations where users may be coming from different directions.

When Is It a Good Idea to Use a Map?

The Map widget is a great addition when location matters for the visitor.

Common use cases

Local businesses
Show where your store, office, clinic, or studio is located.
Events & workshops
Help attendees find the venue quickly and confidently.
Meetings & appointments
Display the meeting location alongside booking or contact information.
Service areas
Give geographic context for in-person services or coverage areas.
Trust & credibility
Showing a real location can increase trust, especially for local or service-based businesses.

The Map widget is a small but powerful tool that adds clarity, trust, and usability when physical location plays a role in your customer experience.

💡 Best Practices

Place the map close to contact details or booking information.
Combine the map with written directions or parking instructions if needed.
Avoid placing maps too high on landing pages unless location is the main focus.
For global or fully digital businesses, a map is usually optional and not required.

❗️When Not to Use a Map

You may want to skip the Map widget if:

Your business is 100% digital
Location is not relevant to the offer
You want to minimize distractions on a conversion-focused page

In those cases, a simple text description or contact section may be enough.
