3 steps for linking the product pages of your website to the points of your map

You show your building programmes on your website in detailed and illustrated product pages. Let’s imagine that you need to highlight these building programmes on a map. No need to start over.

It suffices to use our feature for opening a personalized link when you click on a marker. Indeed, when a visitor clicks on a point of your map, the webpage of your real estate product is displayed in his browser and gives him all the details he needs. A product sheet but outside the map.

Only 3 steps and you can link the product pages of your website to the points of your map.

1- Create a map

First, open the editor and in the Add menu, create a new Map.

Fill in the different information: Title, Description... Center the map on the area you need.

2- Import your products

Before the import of your Excel file in the editor, check if it’s in accordance with the import terms of Click2Map. It means:

• It contains the following columns:
• Title of the product: the title is important because, even if it is not displayed on the map, it will be visible in the map caption
• ID: a unique ID. It will allow you to import again your file, with updated information, without creating duplicated markers on the map. The editor will just update the existing points
• Address: the full address or a separated address into different columns with the street address, the zip code, the state, the city and the country
• The URL of the product page on your website
• Group: if you need to organize your points into categories to make the map caption easier to read
• It is a .CSV file. An Excel file can be converted easily.

Then, kindly go to the editor, in the Add menu > Import. Follow the different steps of the import process and confirm.

Tips: if you need to open the URL in a new window of your browser, use the bulk operations (Tools menu) and choose “Change Web link”. Check the “Open link in new window” box. Confirm.

3- Embed the map in your website

The only thing left is to embed your map into your website. In the web Click2Map editor, click on the Publish menu > The widget on Click2Map’s servers.

The editor provides you a HTML code which can be copied-pasted in a webpage of your website.

It’s done! Your map is available for the visitors of your website. As soon as they will click on a point, they will be redirected on the concerned product page.

Now, it’s your turn to create a personalized map!
