Boosting user engagement on your website? Alpaca maps are here to help! We've gathered some best practices for embedding Alpaca maps that have helped clients witness a spike in engagement by over 40%. Here's how you can ensure your users get the best experience:
1. Place Maps Within Initial Page View
- Why? Alpaca maps are more than just maps – they're tools for storytelling that captivate and inform.
- Pro Tip: Embed the map at the top of the page or article. This gives visitors an instant visual insight, making them more likely to engage with the rest of your content.
- Remember: If your map is buried at the bottom of your webpage requiring multiple scrolls, you're missing out on potential engagement.
2. Opt for Full Width
- Why? A wider map provides a better user experience.
- How? Set the iFrame to the maximum width your site's design allows. This could be edge-to-edge or with standard side margins.
3. Use on Multiple Pages for Contextual Relevance
Alpaca's flexible embedding lets you showcase different views of your maps on varied web pages, ensuring visitors get the right content at the right moment. For instance:
-
- Master Guide: Embed it on the homepage or in the main navigation.
- Category Views: For sections like 'Food & Drink', embed a map focused on that category. See this tutorial on how to do this.
- Individual Itineraries: Slot them into the related blog or article pages.
With these best practices in hand, you're well on your way to enhancing user engagement on your platform. Embed wisely, and let Alpaca maps do their magic!
