  • Properly setting up the information on this page helps to increase your SEO score for local searches, as well as direct customers to your physical store.
  • Set up each location from Settings > Website > Store Information > Store Location and click "Add Location" or the green pencil to edit an existing location.

DBA

  • Fill in your Doing Business As, or DBA, even if it isn't different from the name listed in Store Information.
  • This DBA appears on the responsive location page for each specific location.

Store Neighborhood Descriptor

  • List the name of the neighborhood you're located in.
    • This is important for local search results.
    • You can use the name of your town, or shopping center as well if more applicable.

Display

  • Select whether or not to display a particular location on your Store Locator page.
    • The Store Locator and Contact Us pages are slightly different. 
      • if you only have a single location you should default to the Contact Us responsive page.
      • If you have multiple locations, you should default to the Store Locator page, but make sure that each location has a Contact Us page properly filled out.
  • Choose whether to mark the map based on address or GPS coordinates.
    • GPS comes in handy if the mapping software doesn't correctly pin your store on the map.
    • You can find the GPS coordinates in the URL in Google Maps for your store.

The Store Locator provides essential information (i.e., address, phone number, hours, directions, etc.) to assist customers with finding or contacting each location of your store.

A dynamically generated Contact Us page is created when you enter information into the Store Locator. This Contact Us page is a good option if your store has only one location. However, if your store has multiple locations, you have the option to create a responsive Contact Us page displaying Store Locator information for each one.
