Best Way to Add Google Map to Site

[BigBlaze205]

My site is built with WordPress. I want to add our business location in the contact page using Google Map.

What is the best way to do this? There is many plugins out there for Word Press do I need to use one ?

Hopw about Webmaster tools, does it need to be submit somewhere in there?

When it is done properly, will Google show our store location with a map in Goolgle search results?

I saw some store result showing the map & business hours, How to do this?

Thank you for your help.

Don't bother with plugins with this one.

Simply go to http://maps.google.com and pull up your address on the map. Once your location appears, click the "link" icon in the upper left (next to the printer icon). That will give you the HTML that you can then copy and post onto your contact page.

To do this, open the Contact page in Wordpress and switch to HTML view in the content section. Then simply paste the script you copied from Google Maps onto the page where you want it to display. This will not only embed the map on the page, but also allow visitors to interact with it right on the page.

Good luck!

Thanks Chris, this is the most common sense way to do this.

A question came up among a mozzer that sometimes WP strips the code out.

Just want to add that, I have seen that happen before myself. The best way to ensure the code doesn't get stripped out is to stay in HTML mode after the map has been added. So I typically ad the map last. Doesn't always happen, but seemed to on a few occasions.

Thanks!!
