SEO and Indexing for Your Store Locator

How search engines interact with your store locator widget, and how to make your locator page more SEO-friendly.

The StoreRocket widget is a JavaScript-based embed, which means search engines (Google, Bing) handle it differently from regular HTML content. Here's what you need to know.

Can search engines see my store locator?

The standard embedded widget loads via JavaScript, which means search engine crawlers typically don't index the content inside it. The map, location list, and search functionality aren't visible to Google's crawler in most cases.

Making your store locator content SEO-friendly

For the best SEO results:

  1. Create a dedicated page on your website for the store locator (like /locations or /store-finder)

  2. Add descriptive text above and below the widget embed explaining what visitors will find

  3. Use proper heading tags (h1, h2) on the page

  4. Include your key locations in regular HTML text on the page for crawlers
