See the store locator in action
This is a real Maptera locator running live—search a ZIP code, filter the results, and tap a store for hours and directions. It is exactly what your customers will use.
What is store locator software?
Store locator software takes the list of physical locations your business operates—stores, dealers, clinics, branches, pickup points—and turns it into an interactive “find a store near me” experience on your website. A visitor types a ZIP code or shares their location, and the software instantly returns the closest locations on a map and in a sortable list, complete with addresses, hours, phone numbers, and directions.
Behind that simple search box is a surprising amount of work: every address has to be geocoded into map coordinates, the distance from the searcher to each location has to be calculated and ranked, the map has to render and cluster pins responsively, and—if you care about being found on Google—each location needs its own crawlable page with the right structured data. Doing this by hand is slow and error-prone. Good store locator software automates all of it.
That is exactly what Maptera does. Import a spreadsheet and your locations are geocoded automatically. Customize the colors and filters, then install the locator with a no-code block on Shopify or Wix, a one-line embed on any other website, or the REST API for a fully custom build. The result is a professional store finder that helps shoppers reach your doors—and helps search engines send new ones.
Faster store discovery
Nearest locations in one search, sorted by distance.
Fewer support questions
Hours, phone, and directions answered before anyone calls.
More organic traffic
Indexable location pages capture "near me" searches.
Everything a modern store locator needs
Maptera covers the full job—from raw addresses to a polished, search-ranked finder—so you do not have to stitch together a map library, a geocoder, and a CMS plugin yourself.
Automatic geocoding
Paste in a spreadsheet of street addresses and Maptera converts every one into precise latitude/longitude coordinates. No manual map-pin placement, no copy-pasting from Google Maps—import a CSV and your locations are live.
Radius & distance search
Visitors type a ZIP code, city, or "use my location," and your locator instantly returns the nearest stores sorted by driving-friendly distance—with one-tap directions to each one.
Categories & smart filters
Add filters for services, brands, hours, amenities, or anything else. Shoppers narrow 500 locations down to the three that carry the product they want in seconds.
No-code Shopify & Wix install
Drop the locator into a Shopify theme block or a Wix page without touching code. Your storefront gets a polished "find a store near you" experience the same afternoon.
Embed snippet & REST API
Paste one embed script into any site—WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, plain HTML—or wire locations in programmatically with the REST API for dealer portals and headless setups.
SEO location pages
Every location automatically gets an indexable page with structured LocalBusiness data, so "near me" searches surface your stores in Google instead of a competitor's.
Mobile-first & responsive
Most store-finder traffic is on a phone. The map, list, and search collapse into a thumb-friendly layout that loads fast on any screen.
On-brand customization
Match your colors, fonts, marker icons, and layout—sidebar, full-map, or list-only. On paid plans you can remove Maptera branding entirely.
Install on the platform you already use
Pick your stack and follow a guided setup—or paste the embed snippet anywhere.
