OverviewWhat is DropAFinder?

What is DropAFinder?

DropAFinder is a hosted location-finder builder. You bring a list of physical locations — stores, branches, dealers, clinics, dropoff points, ATMs — and DropAFinder produces an embeddable widget that lets your visitors search them, filter them, and see them on a map.

The pitch: a polished location finder, without standing up your own mapping stack.

What you do

  1. Add your locations. Manually, by CSV, or by handing the AI a messy spreadsheet to clean up.
  2. Build a finder. Pick a layout, theme it to match your brand, configure filters and copy. The Finder Builder is a guided UI; you don’t write code.
  3. Embed it. Copy a one-line <script> snippet into your website. The widget renders inline wherever you place it.
  4. Watch it work. A built-in analytics view shows what your visitors are searching for and clicking on.

What you get

  • A dashboard at /app/* for managing locations, building finders, importing data, and viewing analytics.
  • An embeddable widget that renders on any host site. It loads from a CDN so it’s fast for your visitors and stays current when you update your data.
  • A JSON API if you need to push or pull data programmatically.
  • Six autocomplete providers (Google Places, Mapbox, HERE, Radar, Geoapify, and an internal option) to power address search.
  • Four map providers (TomTom, Mapbox, HERE, OpenStreetMap) to render the map itself.
  • Sixteen curated themes, each guaranteed to pass WCAG 2.1 AA contrast at default values, with a live contrast checker if you customize the colors.
  • Built-in bilingual support (English and Spanish) with per-string overrides.

Who it’s for

  • Workspace owners — marketing managers, store-locator owners, ops teams running networks of physical locations. The dashboard is built for you.
  • Integrators — developers placing a finder onto an existing website. The Embedding Guide is your start point.

What it isn’t

  • Not a CRM — DropAFinder doesn’t track leads or contacts.
  • Not a route planner — visitors can see distance and click to open directions in their preferred maps app, but the widget itself doesn’t compute multi-stop routes.
  • Not a content management system — it manages locations and the widget around them, not pages or articles.

Plans

DropAFinder offers Free, Bronze, Premium, and Agency tiers, billed monthly through Paddle. Agency plans add multi-workspace support so agencies and larger teams can manage several brands or clients side-by-side. See Billing for the current feature/tier matrix.
