How to add Google Maps to your business website

“Where exactly are you?” is one of the first questions customers ask. A directions button that opens Google Maps at your door answers it in one tap.

Link or embedded map?

A Directions button with your Google Maps link opens the Maps app on the visitor's phone, ready to navigate. An embedded map shows the map inside the page. On phones, the button is usually more useful; many websites show both.

Write directions people can follow

A landmark everyone knows: opposite the SBI branch, next to the petrol pump
The floor and the gate: first floor, side entrance
Parking: two-wheeler parking in front, cars in the lane behind
The nearest metro, bus stop or auto stand

Google Business Profile

Your Google Business Profile is what shows your place on Maps, with timings, photos and reviews. It is free. Put your website link there, and your Maps link on the website, so each sends people to the other.

With AppCub

Give AppCub your address and it adds directions on Google Maps to every page of your website, with your address and timings in the format search engines read.

Questions

How do I get my Google Maps link?

Open your place in Google Maps, tap Share and copy the link.

My shop isn't on Google Maps. What do I do?

Create a free Google Business Profile and add your place. Google may verify it before it shows.

Should I embed a map or use a button?

On phones, a Directions button is usually easier because it opens the Maps app. You can have both.

Does adding a map help my Google ranking?

A map on your site doesn't decide your ranking; Google decides that. Clear address details and a Google Business Profile help people find you.

Can I show more than one branch?

Yes. List each branch with its own address, timings and Maps link.
