Embedding GISCARTA Maps into Popular Website Builders

In today’s digital world, websites play a crucial role in presenting information, engaging with audiences, and growing businesses. Among the many tools that enhance a website's functionality, web maps hold a prominent place. These interactive elements not only provide location details but also improve user experience, build trust, and strengthen connections between businesses and their customers.

Why Add a Map to Your Website?

1. Improved Navigation for Visitors

• Ease of Address Search: Maps help users quickly locate your office, store, restaurant, or other facilities.

• Interactivity: Users can zoom in, plan routes, or search for nearby transportation hubs.

2. Increased Trust in Your Business

• Transparency: Including a map adds professionalism and shows your business exists in the real world.

• Positive Impression: Associating your business with a specific location builds customer trust.

3. Convenience for Local Customers

• Route Planning: Maps allow users to navigate to your location using GPS on their devices.

• Nearby Object Search: Especially useful for local businesses like cafes, shops, or salons.

4. Time-Saving Communication

• Instead of explaining your location, a map provides clear and interactive visual information.

• Reduces inquiries like “How can I find your business?”

5. Support for Local SEO

• Local Visibility: Embedding a map with your company’s marker improves local SEO, increasing the likelihood of your website appearing in regional search results.

How to Embed GISCARTA Maps on Your Website

Maps created on the GISCARTA platform can be a valuable addition to your site. To add a map, generate the HTML embed code for your project in the following format:

<iframe src="…project link…" title="Map" width="100%" height="100%" style="min-height:800px" allow="geolocation"></iframe>

Here, title="Map", width="100%", height="100%", and style="min-height:800px" define the iframe’s display parameters.
