How to Add a Car Dealership Locator to Wix

Car buyers research online long before they visit a showroom — and OEM brands, dealer groups, and used-car networks all need an easy way to point them to the right location. If your site runs on Wix, a dealer locator turns that online research into showroom traffic. Here's how to add one with Maptera's native Wix app.

Why Automotive Sites on Wix Need a Dealer Locator

Whether you're an OEM directing shoppers to authorized dealers, a multi-brand group showcasing every rooftop, or a used-car network, customers expect a fast "find a dealer near me" experience. A locator on your Wix site delivers it without sending visitors off to a third-party directory.

• OEM dealer finders: Help shoppers locate authorized dealers for your brand nationwide.
• Multi-brand groups: Show all rooftops with brand-specific filtering.
• Service & parts: Surface authorized service centers, parts counters, and collision shops.

Automotive-Specific Filtering

The difference between a generic map and a useful dealer locator is filtering. With Maptera, add custom attributes so buyers can narrow results:

• Brand / make: Toyota, Ford, BMW, and more — ideal for OEM networks and multi-brand groups.
• Department: Sales, service, parts, body shop.
• Inventory type: New, used, or certified pre-owned (CPO).
• Amenities: Loaner vehicles, EV charging, express service lanes.

Adding the Locator to Wix with Maptera

Step 1: Install the Native Wix App

Add the native Wix app from the Wix App Market — no code, no API key. Drop the locator onto your "Find a Dealer" page.

Step 2: Import Your Dealerships

Add dealerships in the Maptera dashboard or import a spreadsheet. The CSV geocoder converts a list of addresses into precise coordinates automatically — useful for large networks with hundreds of rooftops.

Step 3: Configure Brand & Department Filters

Set up filters for brand, department, and inventory type so customers reach exactly the right location. For a broader feature overview, see our car dealership locator solution.

Rank for "Car Dealer Near Me"

Maptera auto-generates an indexable SEO location page for each dealership with LocalBusiness structured data and a sitemap entry, helping you rank for "[brand] dealer near me," "car service in [city]," and similar local searches a single embedded map can't reach.
