See: Embed a Google Map on Your Website.

WordPress (Block & Classic)

Block Editor: add a Custom HTML block and paste the Maps iframe. Classic: switch to Text and paste. Set a descriptive title and use a responsive wrapper.

Shopify

Online Store → Customize → add a Custom Liquid or HTML block. Paste the iframe. If sanitized, add via a section that supports HTML or edit the section schema carefully (duplicate theme first).

Wix & Squarespace

Use the platform’s Embed/HTML element. Paste the iframe and adjust width to 100%. Wrap for aspect‑ratio to avoid fixed heights.

Webflow & Framer

Use an Embed element. Paste the iframe and set a wrapper with aspect‑ratio (16/9). Validate on mobile for spacing and tap targets.

Responsive, accessibility, and QA

  • Use an aspect‑ratio wrapper; set width:100%.
  • Add an iframe title and place the address text nearby.
  • Enable loading="lazy".
  • Preview on mobile and confirm theme builders don’t strip embeds.

CMS QA checklist (quick)

  • WordPress: Confirm theme CSS doesn’t constrain iframe width/height.
  • Shopify: If the map doesn’t render, check for Liquid sanitization or section schema limits.
  • Wix/Squarespace: Ensure the Embed element is set to 100% width.
  • Webflow/Framer: Verify the wrapper defines height via aspect‑ratio.

Troubleshooting

  • Sanitized code: switch to an allowed HTML block or adjust section settings.
  • CSP issues: allow https://www.google.com/ frames.
  • Theme conflicts: ensure the wrapper defines height.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a plugin for WordPress?

Usually no. A plain iframe in a Custom HTML block is lighter and faster for single locations.

Can I add multiple store maps on one page?

Yes. Use multiple iframes with responsive wrappers, but keep counts modest to avoid layout jank.
