A map, zero SEO
Modules display all your stores on a single Google Maps page. Google indexes that one page, not your 10, 50 or 200 individual locations. Your physical stores are invisible in local search results.
The PrestaShop store locator that ranks your stores in Google
PrestaShop modules display your stores on a map. Google can't see them. Store-Locator.co.uk creates a dedicated SEO page per location, with structured data, internal linking and built-in analytics.

Why PrestaShop store locator modules fall short for SEO
Google Maps required, hidden costs
Nearly all PrestaShop modules require Google Maps with your own API key. Beyond the free monthly credit, every map load is billed. A recurring cost rarely anticipated when purchasing the module.
Fragile compatibility across versions
Migrating from PrestaShop 1.6 or 1.7 to 8.x frequently breaks modules. Many store locator modules aren't yet compatible with PrestaShop 9.x. Your store finder shouldn't depend on your CMS version.
Local SEO, an overlooked lever for PrestaShop merchants
PrestaShop is one of the most popular e-commerce platforms, but the native "Our stores" page is limited to a single page with a Google Maps widget. Marketplace modules follow the same pattern: pins on a map, no individual pages, no structured data.
Nearly half of all Google searches have local intent. When someone searches "organic shop in Bristol" or "clothing boutique near me", they're looking for a physical location. If your stores don't have their own indexable page, that qualified traffic goes to your competitors.
Store-Locator.co.uk creates a complete SEO architecture for each location: dedicated URL, Schema.org LocalBusiness markup, internal linking by county and city, structured breadcrumbs. Each store becomes a gateway to your brand in local search results.

Frequently asked questions about the PrestaShop store locator
Do I need to install a PrestaShop module?
No. Store-Locator.co.uk works via a subdomain independent of your PrestaShop store. No module to install, no theme modifications, no impact on your site performance.
Is it compatible with PrestaShop 1.6, 1.7, 8.x and 9.x?
Yes. Store-Locator.co.uk is independent of your PrestaShop version. It works with PrestaShop 1.6, 1.7, 8.x and 9.x without any risk of breakage during upgrades.
How does the store locator integrate with my PrestaShop theme?
Via a link in your PrestaShop navigation to your subdomain (e.g. stores.yourshop.co.uk). The design is customised to match your brand identity. Your customers navigate seamlessly between your store and your store locator.
Will my store locator survive a PrestaShop migration?
Yes. Whether you migrate from PrestaShop 1.6 to 8.x, or even to another CMS, your store locator keeps working without interruption. It's hosted on an independent subdomain.
What is the SEO advantage over a map module?
A map module displays all your stores on a single page. Google indexes that page, not your individual stores. Store-Locator.co.uk creates a dedicated URL per location with LocalBusiness structured data, hierarchical internal linking and breadcrumbs. Each store ranks individually in Google's local results.
How do I import my stores from PrestaShop?
Via a CSV file or through the Store-Locator.co.uk API. If you already use PrestaShop's native "Our stores" page, we can import your existing data. Our team guides you through the migration.
Can I use OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps?
Yes. Store-Locator.co.uk uses OpenStreetMap by default, with no API key and no fees. Google Maps is available as an option if you provide your API key. PrestaShop modules generally require Google Maps with associated costs.
How long does deployment take?
7 days on average. We handle the technical setup (DNS, subdomain), import your locations, customise the design and validate with your team before going live. No technical work required on your end.
