Embed an interactive map on your website
A map is most useful where your visitors already are. Build the map here, copy one embed snippet, and it renders inside your own page - in your colours, with your categories, and no third-party interface wrapped around it.
- An embed is a small iframe snippet that renders your interactive map inside your own web page.
- The embed code is available from Basic; on Free you publish through a permanent shareable link.
- Changes made in Studio appear in the embedded map automatically, without replacing the snippet.
- Premium also lets you publish on your own domain. Removing localthings branding is Custom.
How it works

Add your locations
Paste a website, a list or a CSV file, or let the assistant scan a site for you. Every location becomes a pin on the map.

Set up the map
Decide what each location card shows: photo, description, opening hours and your own fields. Then pick categories with their own colour and icon, a map style and areas if you need them.

Frequently asked questions
Does the embed work in WordPress?
Yes. Add a Custom HTML block and paste the snippet. The same approach works in Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, Shopify and any CMS that allows an embed block.
Will the map be responsive on mobile?
Yes. The embed fills the container you place it in and the map interface adapts to small screens, including the location cards.
