  • Address autocomplete powered by Google, Nominatim, or LocationIQ
  • Predefined or custom radius options in miles or kilometres

Filter by Category and Show Only What's Relevant

Not every customer is looking for the same thing. Enable category filtering so visitors can narrow their search to a specific store type, service, or department. Combine proximity search with category selection for a laser-focused finder experience.

  • Optional category dropdown in the search panel
  • Works alongside radius and address search simultaneously
  • Custom marker icons per category for instant visual clarity
  • Fully compatible with category legends and filter bars

11 Flexible Placement Options for Your Layout, Your Way

Prefer the search bar floating over the map? Or maybe a panel to the left? WP Go Maps gives you 11 predefined layout placements so the store locator fits your page design without any custom CSS. The standalone shortcode mode lets you place the search form anywhere on your site, completely separate from the map.

  • 11 built-in placement styles: top, bottom, left, right, floating, standalone and more
  • Fully responsive and mobile-optimised
  • Use the standalone [wpgmza_store_locator] shortcode to embed the search form independently
  • Customisable field labels and placeholder text
  • Optional "not found" message when no results match
View shortcode options

Fully Customisable to Match Your Brand

The radius circle, centre-point icon, field labels, and search results listing can all be styled and configured to match your site perfectly. Enable a branded centre-point icon, choose your radius circle colour, or set a default search location to give every visitor the right starting point.

Radius Circle Styling

Set custom line colour, fill colour, and opacity for the search radius circle drawn on the map.

Centre Point Icon

Show a custom icon at the searched location. Upload your own or create one with the marker editor.

Custom Field Labels

Rename "Zip/Address" and "Title/Description" fields to anything that fits your use case.

Country Restrictions

Restrict autocomplete results to a specific country to keep searches locally relevant.

I ran into a few issues... I reached out to support and got a quick, helpful reply from Dylan. He guided me step by step through the possible causes... everything is now working perfectly. Such committed and knowledgeable support behind an already excellent plugin. Highly recommended!

I have been looking for a WordPress map that gives directions from markers. With the PRO version you can easily turn on directions and on phones enable automatic opening of Google Maps when the user clicks "Get Directions" — awesome. I love it.

I chose WP Go Maps after trying more than 10 alternatives... it has tons of options that allow you to achieve almost anything related to maps. Their support is just as it should be: excellent.

I was able to import a spreadsheet with over 300 shop locations and have them appear on a customizable map with search function. When I asked for a specific feature that wasn't included, they didn't say no — instead they sent hand-coded JavaScript that enabled my feature request!

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The essentials written for anyone adding a store locator to their WordPress site.

Is the Store Locator included in the free version?

Yes, the store locator feature is included in the free version. Advanced options such as filtering and geolocation are found in the WP Go Maps Pro add-on.

Which map engines support the Store Locator?

The Store Locator works with all supported map engines including Google Maps, Leaflet (zero-cost), MapTiler, OpenStreetMap, and Stadia Maps. You can run a fully functional store locator without any paid API key using the zero-cost Leaflet engine.

Can I restrict the store locator search to a specific country?

Yes. Under the Advanced settings for the store locator, you can select a country to restrict autocomplete suggestions to. This prevents users from accidentally searching locations outside your service area and keeps results accurate.

Can I place the search form on a different page from the map?

Yes. The [wpgmza_store_locator id="X"] shortcode lets you embed the search form completely independently of the map which is useful for sidebar widgets, landing page headers, or any layout where the form and map need to be in different sections.

How do I hide markers until a search is completed?

Under Advanced Settings for the store locator, toggle on "Hide all markers until a search is done". The map will load clean with no markers visible until a visitor performs their first search which is ideal when you have hundreds of locations.

Can I let users search by marker title or description?

Yes. Enable the Title Search option in Field Settings. This adds an optional second search box that lets users search marker titles and descriptions which is perfect for directory-style maps where users might search for a business name rather than an address.
