Adding Google Maps and Naver Map — and getting listed on both
Putting a map on your website and getting your business to show up in map search are two different jobs. Here is how to do both.
Map work comes in two parts. One is putting a map on your own website. The other is making your business appear when people search in Google Maps or Naver Map. Your customers need both.
1. Putting a map on your website
- Google Maps — search your address, then use Share → Embed a map and paste the code. No API key needed.
- Naver Map — get a Maps API key from Naver Cloud Platform for an interactive map inside your site. Without a key, we use a card that opens Naver Map directly.
- On phones, people tap the “Directions” button far more than the map itself. We make it open the Naver Map or Google Maps app straight away.
2. Getting listed on Naver Place
- 1Register your business on Naver Smart Place (smartplace.naver.com).
- 2Add your name, address, phone number, hours and photos, and verify with documents such as your business registration if asked.
- 3Once reviewed, you appear in Naver search and on Naver Map. Be sure to add your website address.
3. Setting up a Google Business Profile
- 1Add your business at business.google.com.
- 2Enter your address, category and contact details, then verify using the method Google offers (phone, text, video and so on).
- 3After verification you appear on Google Maps and in the information panel on Google Search — where most international visitors will find you.
