How to add Google Maps to a Neocities website

Embed Google Maps on Neocities

01

Create a Google Maps widget for Neocities on Common Ninja

First, create a Neocities Google Maps widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Google Maps and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Google Maps widget

When you're done creating the Google Maps widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Google Maps Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Google Maps widget to your Neocities website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Neocities website.

04

Paste the code to your Neocities website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Neocities website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Neocities’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Google Maps Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Google Maps widget on your Neocities website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Google Maps widget on your Neocities widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Neocities website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Google Maps widget to your Neocities website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Neocities website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Google Maps widget when location is part of your offer and you want visitors to find you or your branches without confusion. A customized map with multiple pins, labels, and styled colors gives users a clearer sense of where you operate than plain addresses alone. This is key for physical stores, clinics, coworking spaces, logistics hubs, and multi location service brands. Visitors can zoom, switch views, and open directions directly from your site. Presenting geography visually reduces friction, saves support time, and builds trust that you are a real, reachable business with concrete presence in the world.
