What it does
Local SEO helps your business show up when people search for services near them. DefiniteSEO Pro
adds a map settings section to your Local SEO configuration where you set your exact
geo-coordinates, preferred measurement units, and map style. This location data supports your
local business presence and can feed your business structured data.
Set your business location
- Open the DefiniteSEO Local SEO settings and find the Map setting: single location
section. - Choose your Measurement system (Kilometers or Miles).
- Choose a Map style (Hybrid, Satellite, Roadmap, or Terrain).
- Under Geo coordinates, enter your Longitude and Latitude. Use the "find your
geo-coordinates" link if you do not know them. - Save your settings.

Tip: Accurate latitude and longitude matter more than the map style for search engines.
The map style mainly affects how the map looks to your visitors.

FAQ
How do I find my business latitude and longitude?
Use the "find your geo-coordinates" link in the map settings, which helps you look up the exact
coordinates for your address. You can then paste the longitude and latitude into the fields.
Does the map style affect my SEO?
Not directly. The map style (Hybrid, Satellite, Roadmap, or Terrain) changes how the map looks to
visitors. Your latitude and longitude are the values that matter for local search accuracy.
Can I set more than one business location here?
This section configures a single business location. For multiple locations you would manage each
location's details separately.
