There are at least 25 store locator apps on the market right now. You may know a few of the names - Stockist, Storemapper, StoreRocket, Closeby (that's us!), MetaLocator, WP Maps, etc.
We all do basically the same thing: display your retail locations on a map so customers can find the nearest one. And we're all priced similarly, with slight variations on how many locations a certain tier supports.
So… what's the difference?
If you decide to consider Closeby in your search, you'll notice 2 ways Closeby differentiates itself:
- We're hyper focused on design and brand integration. When you've finished designing your store locator, you'll have something that you're proud to put on your website. It'll blend in nicely with your brand, rather than embarrass it.
- It's easy to use, but if you ever get stuck and need support, the owner/developer answers all the emails personally.
The Problem With the Store Locator Market
Most store locators work fine. But there's a ton of variance in design quality and performance. A lot of them look like they were designed in 2014. This communicates something… less than desirable, let's say… about a brand that embeds them on their site.
Generic map pins. Clunky interfaces. Design that clashes with your carefully crafted brand aesthetic. Some are bloated with features you'll never use. Others have UX issues—slow map load times, mobile experiences that feel like an afterthought.
This Is Why We Built Closeby in the First Place
A great store locator should be simple to create, simple for users to interact with, and indistinguishable from your brand.
The details matter—the typography, the spacing, the map pins, the way the map loads, how it looks on mobile. If you're design-conscious, you'll notice the difference immediately.
