Product Hunt
Our primary focus is on a fast, embeddable widget rather than heavy SEO pages. Around 90 percent of our users use LocateStore mainly for embedding.
That said, the locator is still SEO friendly by default. We just chose simplicity, performance, and ease of setup as the core tradeoff, especially for teams that want something live quickly without ongoing maintenance.

It's almost refreshing to see such a simple (at least in concept) product doing so well and receiving so much attention. It seems the AI-wrappers steal the show the majority of the time, but something like this is TRULY useful and can be used with certainty. Amazing.
I once spent three painful days trying to build a store‑locator UI for my parents’ business — wrestling with API keys, messy code, and endless tweaks, only for it to still look pretty awful in the end. Seeing LocateStore honestly made me laugh a little… this would’ve solved my entire headache in seconds. The convenience and speed here are exactly what I wish I had back then.
One question though, I’m curious about the subscription model. What’s the reasoning behind separating pricing by monthly visits and monthly searches? It would be great to understand how those metrics map to real usage patterns. As the product evolves, it might also be worth exploring additional value for the paid tier — things like analytics, custom branding, advanced filters, or integrations that help teams get even more out of their store locator.
Overall, this is a thoughtful and well‑executed tool. Congrats to your launching!

Yes convenience and speed, thats what we are aiming at.
We have multiple map providers working behind the screen and the charges (based on visits and searches) you are seeing are basically, what we owe the Map provider to create and display the maps.
We do provide analytics like searches, popular search keywords, custom branding is possible with custom pins (if thats you meant).
Did you have any particular integration in mind?
Thanks for your comment!
This tool has made setting up our store locator so straightforward—no coding hassle at all, and the instant sync from Google Sheets is such a relief! Quick question: can we customize the map’s color scheme and branding to match our website’s look?
the no API keys part is a massive relief for handing this off to non-technical clients. if they update a row in the Google Sheet, does the map reflect that change instantly, or is there a caching delay we should know about?
Hello,
A great and very useful tool.
I have a few clarifying questions:
Is it possible to support multiple maps within a single account?
Is it possible to add custom fields (for example, store type, status, or opening hours)?

@antony_pro Thank you for your questions.
1) Yes with one account you can create multiple storelocators. Each store locator will be linked to a unique Google Sheet. Please note that our premium plans are per storelocator.
2) Yes, you can add custom fields. There would be separate columns in the Google Sheet and in our settings you can map those columns.
@antony_pro @aslamabbas Alright
Thank you for your reply.
Congratulations on the launch! Do you use OpenStreetMap?
Google Sheets as the data layer is smart for small-medium chains... the editing UX beats any custom CMS. Dmitry's question about messy addresses is the real test though. Most no-code locators punt on validation and just pass garbage to the geocoder. Address normalization before the geocode step would make this way more reliable.
Nice and easy!
