Moreover, you can update your API keys, configure analytics, get weekly and monthly reports, access tokens, update contact forms, and add languages.
Let your customers filter their way to the products they need with a dedicated product tag and store locating tool, WP Maps.
The first step towards gearing your product and store locator for success is publishing it. The initial configuration is completed in minimal time. Moreover, the configuration ensures establishing and maintaining map consistency and performance, alleviating bad configurations from the beginning, improving scalability through additional products, and facing no functional issues later.
The main backend dashboard allows you to create a product and store locator by clicking Publish. In addition, you can configure your map by selecting Google Maps or Mapbox, choosing modifiable zoom options, selecting map clusters, and selecting or unselecting specific map controls. Lastly, you can next proceed to UI Settings.
One of the key aspects of WP Map’s plethora of customizable options is the ability to audit your steps during setup – if a setting does not reflect the way you want it; there is always a way to undo and focus on an alternate that would prove effective for your business strategy and brand image.
Measure your users’ pathing and usage flows, and understand how your target customers and leads use your website. Furthermore, this will help you, as a site manager, to streamline and improve your website for a better user experience.
How does WP Maps’ Analytics tool help you with the insights?
It helps you look at the bigger picture and understand how your visitors interact with the product and store locator – their interests, location choices, product availability, product performance, store performance, regional searches, etc. are all highlighted.
Moreover, based on the analytics data, WP Maps generates weekly and monthly analytics reports and promptly delivers them to your inbox.
Utilize the Google Spreadsheet program to manage your store and product data through WP Map’s Chrome extension in multiple sheets. However, it’s important to ensure proper synchronization between Google Sheets and the extension to avoid any discrepancies. In case you encounter issues with syncing, you can refer to the blog post on “google sheet is not syncing” for troubleshooting tips and solutions.. The online Google Spreadsheet program lets you manage the data without logging into the system. The extension not only fetches the store coordinates within the sheet (via the selected range the site manager wants to geocode for a specific address) but also fills up all the missing coordinates in the spreadsheet.
In addition to the extensive functions offered by the WP Maps Chrome extension, it supports multiple languages as well. It allows the user to extend the language modification option to change Google Spreadsheet’s language and select it as a base language. Any changes on the WP Maps are reflected for the selected language.
WP Maps has developed multiple functional templates with your customers in focus for your ease and flexibility. Each function is facilitated by three templates default, modern, and vintage template.
Employing the templates increases consistency, decreases time to set up, assures application best practices for your store, and creates an effective design.
