Google Maps

Use Google Maps to embed a map for a physical location, local offer, event venue, clinic, office, or service-area landing page.

How It Works In Atomicat​

The drawer is intentionally simple: enter a location string and set zoom. Styling and layout around the map are handled by the element style settings and its parent containers.

When To Use It​

  • Show a store, venue, or office location next to contact details.
  • Support local lead generation pages where proximity increases trust.
  • Add a map near business hours, WhatsApp, or a contact form.
  • Help visitors confirm they are looking at the correct branch or service location.

Configure The Element​

  • Enter the most specific location possible, including business name, street, city, and country.
  • Adjust zoom after previewing the rendered map; higher zoom works for exact storefronts, lower zoom works for areas.
  • Place the map inside a container with a clear heading and address text.
  • Use surrounding text for important directions rather than relying only on the map.

Testing Notes​

  • Preview the map in the published environment because embed behavior can differ from the editor canvas.
  • Test on mobile to ensure the map height is usable and does not trap scrolling.
  • Confirm the location resolves to the intended place, especially for duplicate business names.

Limitations And Tips​

  • The drawer is intended for a single embedded location, not route planning, multiple pins, or custom map styling.
  • Maps can affect load performance; avoid adding them above the fold unless location is central to conversion.
  • Always include a text address for accessibility and clarity.

FAQ​

What should I type in Location?

Use a full business name or address with city and country for the most reliable result.

What does zoom control?

Zoom changes how close the map starts, from wider area views to detailed street-level views.

Can I add multiple pins?

Use the Google Maps element for one main location. For multiple branches or complex maps, add supporting text or use a custom embed where appropriate.
