In this guide

Have more than one shop, clinic, showroom or office? Add every location once and your website gets a beautiful branch-locator page at /stores— with search, “Near me”, live Open-now badges, tap-to-call, WhatsApp, directions, and a separate Google-friendly page for each branch so you rank in every city you serve.

Set it up

Add your branches

Open Your site → Stores & Branches and press + Add store — the wording follows your business, so a jeweller or car dealer sees + Add showroom, a clinic or agency + Add branch, a news website + Add office. Name and address are the only must-haves, but the more you fill (photo, landmark, timings, services, your Google review link), the better each branch looks and ranks. Up to 100 locations. Many at once? Import from CSV understands name, address, landmark, city, state, pincode, phone, whatsapp, map link and services.

Paste the Google Maps link

Open your shop in Google Maps → Share → copy the link → paste it into the branch. We read the exact location from it — that's what makes Near me sort by real distance and the Directions button land on your door.

Set the timings

Fill the weekly hours (there's a copy-Monday-to-all shortcut). Customers see a live Open now / Opens 10 AM badge computed in Indian time — and you can add festival days (“Diwali — closed”) that override just that date.

Turn it on and Save

Flip Show the … page on my website (it names your page — Store Locator, Our Showrooms, Our Branches) and press Save & publish changes. The page, the menu link and every branch page go live within a few seconds — you'll see “Saved — your website is updating”. Nothing else on your website changes. (The page only publishes once at least one location has a name and an address.)

What customers get

A locator page with search (city, pincode or name), city chips, an Open-now filter and a 📍 Near me button that sorts branches by distance with “2.4 km away” chips. Every branch card has Call, WhatsApp, Directions and its own page with photos, timings, services, your team, and a map that loads only when tapped — so the page stays fast. Customers can even save a branch as a phone contact in one tap.

Each branch page ranks in its own city.Write 2–4 real sentences in “About this branch” and add the landmark line — that's what makes “your business + city name” searches find you.

Nice extras

You can also rename the page and its menu link (Page title, Menu link name), and switch off the “Near me” button or add a “Want a branch in your city?” form that drops requests into your Enquiries. Temporarily closed — renovation or flood? Flip the switch with a note; the branch stays visible with a clear band instead of vanishing. Special offer line — a green highlight per branch (“Free hearing test this month”). Collect from store — with In-store pickup on (Settings → Delivery), switch on “Customers collect orders from a branch” and tick the branches that are collection points; checkout then asks the customer which one. Book Visit — on sites with bookings, the button carries the branch into the appointment. Your AI assistant also learns your branches and answers “which branch is near me?” with real addresses and timings.

Watch the numbers

The same page shows how each branch is doing — page views, calls, WhatsApp taps and direction requests in the last 30 days — plus the demand map: places customers searched where you have no branch yet, and cities they requested. That's your expansion signal.

Turning the locator off removes the page and menu link cleanly — your branch list stays saved here for whenever you want it back.
