Part I, Can people find you?

A map on the page

A map, or a link to one, tells a visitor at a glance that you are a real place they can walk into, and gives search engines one more signal that you belong on the local map.

A link to the map is enough; an embedded map is not required and can slow the page.

See for yourself

Look at your contact section. Is there a map, or a link that opens one?

How to fix it

  1. Add a link to your business on Google Maps, Apple Maps or Bing Maps next to your address.
The technical version, for your web person

map link. We look for google.com/maps or a /maps path in the homepage HTML.

What the check reads. A map on the homepage OR on the contact page: a Google/OSM/Leaflet/Mapbox/Bing/Apple iframe, script or static map image; the pre-HC-53 loose substring test is kept as one of the ways to say yes, so no site loses a point it already had.
