Adding a Google Maps location to your Contact page [Classic]

Welcome to our Placester Hacks series. Placester Hacks are Placester-approved tricks and workarounds that allow you to accomplish some customizations that may not seem possible with the current toolsets included in Placester’s products. Keep in mind that these hacks are generally more advanced than standard setup instructions. We recommend only using them if you’re familiar with HTML and website editing.  

This article will highlight the steps to adding a Google maps location to your Contact page.

To start, you will need to get the Google Maps embed code for the location in questions. For this article, we'll be using 101 Arch St., Boston, MA as the location to be added to the contact page.

How to get  a Google Maps Embed Code

First, you will need to google the address you want to feature on the contact page as shown below. Once you google the address in question, you will then click on the Google Map section as shown in the example below.
