How to Add a Store Locator Plugin in WordPress

If you run physical stores or work with partners, a store locator makes it easy for customers to find nearby locations. It boosts local SEO, increases foot traffic, and improves user experience.

Most WordPress plugins require a Google Maps API key, but Progus Store Locator lets you skip that step and get started in just a few minutes.

Step 1 - Install Progus Store Locator Plugin

Navigate to your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins → Add New.

Search for “Progus Store Locator”, then click Install Now and Activate.

👉 Install Progus Store Locator Plugin →

Start for free - no API key required, no complex setup.

Step 2 - Configure the Plugin

After activation, go to Settings → Progus Store Locator. Check the option to automatically create a new page with the store locator map (recommended). Then click “Get Started” to create your free Progus account and connect it to your site.

Step 3 - Add Your Store Locations

Click Open Management Panel to access the Progus dashboard. Go to Locations → Add Location.

Fill in the following details:

• Store name (required)
• Address (GPS coordinates are added automatically)
• Phone number and opening hours
• Store photo and description
• Social media links

You can also import locations in bulk using CSV files or Google Sheets.

Step 4 - Customize Your Map

Now let’s customize how your store locator looks.

You can choose from multiple map providers:

• Progus Maps (no API key needed)
• Apple Maps
• OpenStreetMap
• Google Maps
• Mapbox

Select from 23,000+ map styles to match your brand.

You can also:

• create custom markers
• add tags for filtering locations
• customize colors, fonts, and layout

Step 5 - Display Locator on Your Site

Finally, add the store locator to your website.

You have two options:

• Shortcode: Use `[progus-store-locator]` on any page or post
• Gutenberg Block: Add the "Progus Store Locator" block in the editor

Your store locator will automatically detect user location and show nearby stores.

Why No API Key Is a Big Advantage

Most WordPress store locator plugins require Google Maps API keys, which means:

• Credit card required for registration
• Complex setup process
• Monthly usage fees
• API quota limits

Progus uses its own vector maps, so you can skip all of that and get started instantly - no billing, no setup friction.

You can install it and have your store locator ready in just a few minutes!
