## Description

**Your customers are already on your website. Digital Plug Store Locator walks them
straight through your door — and Google sends you new ones.**

Digital Plug Store Locator is a high-performance, modern mapping solution that bridges
the gap between your website and your physical business locations. Whether you run
5 stores or 5,000, your customers can find the nearest branch, get instant on-map
directions, and filter locations by the services they need — without ever leaving
your website.

**Most store locator plugins just drop a map on a page — invisible to Google, worthless
for SEO.** This one is different: it’s a **local marketing engine**. Every store
gets a real, indexable page with rich LocalBusiness schema (star ratings, opening
hours, the exact business type), so your locations can show up in local search results
with «Open now» and review stars — and drive organic foot traffic while you sleep.

And it’s fast: the entire frontend runs on a **modern React engine** (the same technology
behind WordPress itself — zero extra libraries to load), so searching, filtering
and browsing stores feels instant on every device.

### 💎 GO PRO — BUILT TO SELL MORE, NOT JUST SHOW MORE

The free version finds your stores. **PRO turns your store locator into a sales 
machine — and a Local SEO engine that brings customers in from Google.**

**⭐ PRO HIGHLIGHTS: AUTOMATED LOCAL SEO LANDING PAGES · 4 PREMIUM TEMPLATES · FRONTEND
STORE SUBMISSION · ENGAGEMENT ANALYTICS · 1-CLICK FULL-SITE IMPORT/EXPORT ⭐**

Here is exactly what upgrading unlocks:

#### 🚀 The Local SEO Engine — Rank in Every City You Operate In

 * 🏙️ **Automated City Landing Pages** — PRO instantly generates a beautiful, indexable
   landing page for **every city you have stores in** (`/locations/new-york/`, `/
   locations/london/`…), complete with store cards, templated intro text, CollectionPage
   schema and XML sitemap entries. Open a store in a new city — its ranking page
   exists the same second. **Zero writing, zero setup, pure organic traffic.**
 * 🔗 **Automatic Internal-Link Silo** — Every store page links to its nearest locations
   and up to its city page. This is the interlinking structure SEO agencies charge
   thousands to build — done for you, automatically.
 * ✍️ **Per-Store SEO Control** — A dedicated SEO box on every store: custom title,
   meta description, schema business type, price range, and social profile links(`
   sameAs`) that connect your Google Business Profile, Facebook and Instagram to
   each location.
 * 📊 **Engagement Analytics That Prove ROI** — See exactly what your locator earns
   you: page views, **click-to-call**, **get-directions** and website clicks per
   store, plus contact messages — in one clean dashboard. Privacy-friendly (daily
   totals only, no cookies, no visitor tracking), so it’s GDPR-safe by design.

#### 🎨 Design That Makes Visitors Stay

 * 🖼️ **4 Stunning Premium Templates** — Swap the standard locator for magazine-
   quality designs («Nordic», «Spatial Hub», and the new **«Property Finder»** for
   real-estate & apartment listings) with hover info cards, smart top-bar filters,
   distance sliders, gallery popups and animated map pins.
 * 🌈 **8 Curated Color Themes Per Template** — Dark, Mediterranean Blue, Sage &
   Olive, Royal Emerald, Terracotta, Monochrome, Nordic, Midnight. One click recolors
   everything to match your brand.
 * 🖥️ **4 Single-Store Page Layouts** — Every branch gets its own gorgeous, conversion-
   optimized landing page.
 * 📐 **Frontend View Switcher** — Let visitors flip between Split, List, Grid and
   Map views themselves.

#### 🛒 Deep WooCommerce Integration

 * 📦 **Per-Store Product Inventory** — A simple stock grid: which product is available
   in which store. Customers see it before they travel.
 * 🔎 **«Find in Stores» Button** — On every product page: shoppers click and instantly
   see the branches that stock that exact product.
 * 🧲 **Product Filter on the Locator** — Visitors pick a product and the map shows
   only the stores that have it.
 * 🛍️ **In-Card Product Popups** — Hover a store, click its products button and 
   browse that store’s in-stock items with photos and prices.

#### ⏰ Real-Time Store Intelligence

 * 🟢 **Live «OPEN NOW» Badges** — Per-day hours, split shifts, classic «Mon–Fri
   9–6» or 24/7 — the badge updates itself in real time.
 * 🏆 **«Nearest» Store Badges** — Automatically highlight the closest branches 
   to every visitor.
 * ⭐ **Moderated Ratings & Reviews** — Build trust with star ratings. You approve
   every review before it goes live.

   stores from a beautiful frontend form: address with live map pin, photos, gallery,
   business hours, attributes and more. You control **who can submit** (by user 
   role) and **approve every store** before it goes live — perfect for directories,
   real-estate portals and multi-vendor sites.

#### 🚀 Time-Saving Power Tools

   categories, attributes, ratings, stock) into a single file and restore it anywhere
   with a live progress bar. Migrations and demo setups in minutes, like a premium
   theme.

 4. Navigate to the new **Store Locator > Settings** tab to configure your Google Maps
    API Key.

 6. Add your very first physical storefront under **Store Locator > Add New Store**.

## FAQ

### Why does my map show a «For Development Purposes Only» message?

This is a standard message from Google when your Google Maps API Key is either missing,
typed incorrectly, or does not have an active billing account linked to it. Google
gives you a generous free tier every single month, but they require a payment method
on file to authenticate queries. Follow our [API Key Setup Guide Here](https://docs.digital-plugs.com/get-google-map-api-key).

### Does this plugin actually help my stores rank on Google?

Yes — and this is where we differ from every «map widget» plugin. The free version
outputs complete **LocalBusiness schema** per store (business type, opening hours,
review stars, images) plus templated SEO titles and descriptions, so each location
page is genuinely rankable. The **💎 PRO version** goes further: it auto-generates
an **indexable landing page for every city** you operate in, interlinks all your
locations, adds per-store SEO controls — and then **proves the results** with a 
per-store dashboard of calls, direction requests and website clicks. That’s an automated
local marketing machine, not just a map.

### Will the React frontend conflict with my theme?

No. It uses the React copy that ships inside WordPress core itself (no extra libraries,
no build step) and renders the exact same design as the classic frontend. It’s a
single toggle in Settings — and switching it off instantly restores the classic 
frontend, so there’s zero risk in trying it.

### Can I show which products are available in which store?

Yes! This is the flagship feature of the **💎 PRO version**. You get a per-store
stock grid, a «Find in Stores» button on product pages, a product filter on the 
locator, and in-card product popups — so shoppers always know where to buy before
they leave home.

### Can I use Elementor to design my location listings?

Yes, Elementor compatibility is a core feature of the **💎 PRO version**. It installs
modular widgets (search boxes, filters, maps, and store lists) allowing you to design
your layout with absolute pixel-perfect freedom.

### Can I change how the store locator looks without coding?

Absolutely. The free version includes color controls and 10 map themes. The **💎
PRO version** adds 4 complete premium page templates, each with 8 one-click color
themes plus a fully custom color palette builder — the entire locator restyles itself
instantly.

### Can I move my whole setup to another website?

With the **💎 PRO version**, yes — in one click. Advanced Export packs every store,
setting, category, attribute, rating and stock record into one file; Advanced Import
restores it anywhere with a live progress bar. (Your Google API key is never exported,
for your security.)

### How can I translate the plugin text?

The plugin is entirely localized and translation-ready right out of the box. You
can easily use tools like Loco Translate, Poedit, or WPML to adapt text domains 
to your language preferences.

Fantastic plugin. As a developer, I really appreciate how well-coded and lightweight
this store locator is. It works seamlessly with my custom theme, and the built-in
customization options made it easy to match the design of my client’s brand. The
search functionality is highly accurate. Great job by the developer!

I started with the free version, which is very generous with its core features. 
I had a quick question about setting up the Google API, and the developer support
was incredibly fast and helpful. Bought the Pro version shortly after to get the
advanced search radius features. Brilliant plugin.
