The Map Block embeds an interactive map of your business location directly on your link in bio. Visitors see exactly where you are, can tap to open Google Maps for directions, and recognize the area before they arrive. Essential for any business that lives in a physical place — restaurants, shops, salons, clinics, studios, venues. The Map Block reduces "where is this exactly?" inquiries by answering visually before visitors ask.

Use cases

Concrete patterns we see UniLink creators apply most. Pick the closest to your situation as a starting point.

Restaurant and venue locations

Embed the precise location with a clear pin. Visitors decide whether the place is convenient to visit before they tap "directions". Reduces no-shows by ensuring visitors aren't surprised by location.

Multi-location businesses

Salons, retail chains, fitness studios with multiple branches — show all locations on one map with separate pins. Visitors pick the location closest to them.

Event venue and meeting points

For one-off events — workshop locations, meetup spots, tour stops — the Map Block makes the venue location unmistakable. Pair with the Events & Tickets Block for full event context.

Service area for service businesses

Plumbers, electricians, mobile detailers — show the radius of areas you serve as a highlighted region on the map. Visitors immediately know if you cover their area.

How to add this block

From marketplace install to live on your link in bio. Each step takes seconds; the writing is what takes time.

  1. 1

    Add the block from the marketplace

    In your UniLink dashboard, drop the block where visitors need to choose where to go — often near the top, where the page splits into multiple journeys.

  2. 2

    Add destinations or pages

    List the items you want visitors to navigate to — pages, external URLs, or anchor sections. Each destination becomes a tap-target on mobile.

  3. 3

    Order by importance

    Items at the top get the most clicks. Put the destination you most want visitors to pick first; lower-priority options below. Don't make visitors choose between equals.

  4. 4

    Set descriptive labels

    Replace generic labels like "Click here" with specific destinations: "Book a discovery call", "Read latest blog post". Specific labels convert better and improve accessibility.

  5. 5

    Publish and review click-through

    After publishing, watch which destinations get clicks and which get ignored. Move winners up; remove items with zero clicks for a month — they only add friction.

Best practices that move the needle

Small changes in writing or curation that consistently improve conversion.

No more than seven options

Hick's Law: choice paralysis kicks in past seven options. If you need more, group them into themes or split across pages. Long lists hurt every metric.

Strongest option first

Whatever you most want visitors to do, put it on top. Equal-weight lists make visitors hesitate; clear priority makes them act.

Verbs over nouns in labels

Action labels — "Book a call", "Get the guide" — outperform noun labels — "Calls", "Guides". Verbs tell the visitor what happens when they tap.

Test removing items

Counterintuitively, removing low-performing items often raises clicks on the remaining ones. Audit monthly: anything with under 1% click share is a candidate to cut.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Map Block in a link in bio?

A Map Block embeds an interactive map (Google Maps or OpenStreetMap) on your link in bio page. The map shows your business location with a pin, and visitors can tap to open the location in their preferred maps app for directions.

Which map providers are supported?

Google Maps (most common, requires no setup) and OpenStreetMap (privacy-friendly, no Google tracking). Most users go with Google Maps because that's where most visitors prefer to view directions; OpenStreetMap is the right choice for privacy-focused brands.

Can I show multiple locations?

Yes. Add multiple pins to the same Map Block (for multi-location businesses) or use multiple Map Blocks for separate sections of the page (e.g., "Main location" and "Pop-up event").

Will the map work on mobile?

Yes. Maps render correctly on mobile and desktop. Tapping the map opens the visitor's default maps app (Google Maps or Apple Maps) with the location pre-loaded for directions — no manual address copying.

Is the Map Block free on UniLink?

Yes. The Map Block is included on every UniLink plan, including the free tier.
