What it does
Many sites hold content tied to a place: property listings, car inventories, store branches or park guides. A plain list makes it hard for visitors to see what is nearby. The Map Facet solves this by plotting results on a map that works as a filter. Visitors can select locations or draw areas on the map, and the results update to match. Because it is a facet type built into FacetWP, you set it up alongside your other facets without a separate legacy add-on.
The map handles busy areas well. Crowded points can be grouped into clusters, and overlapping markers are spread apart so each entry can still be clicked. Proximity search lets visitors find results within a set radius of a location. The facet is responsive and touch-friendly, and it can be placed in layouts built with Elementor, Beaver Builder or Bricks. It also works alongside WooCommerce, Advanced Custom Fields and WPML, and developers get hooks and indexing options for custom setups.
Best for
- Real estate sites with property listings
- Store locators and local business directories
- Sites with location-based content such as park or travel guides
Features

The map is a facet type included in FacetWP itself, so you get mapping without adding or maintaining a separate legacy add-on plugin.
Filter by map area
Visitors filter content by selecting locations or drawing areas on the map, and the matching listings, posts or products are shown.
Custom markers and clustering
Personalize marker pins and group crowded locations into clusters so maps with many points stay clear and easy to read.
Overlapping marker separation
Markers that sit on top of each other are automatically spread apart, letting visitors click and explore every entry in dense areas.
Proximity search
Visitors can find listings within a chosen radius of a location, which suits nearby store, service or attraction searches.

Embed and style map facets inside custom layouts made with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and other page builders.

Questions about FacetWP Map
Do I need FacetWP to use the Map Facet?
Yes. FacetWP Map is a facet type that runs inside FacetWP and is built into the plugin, so it works as part of your FacetWP setup rather than as a standalone mapping tool.
Can visitors search for results near a specific location?
Yes. Proximity search lets visitors find listings within a specified radius of a location. This fits use cases like finding nearby stores, services or attractions, and it works together with the interactive map filtering.
How does the map handle lots of markers in one area?
Crowded locations can be grouped into clusters to keep the map readable. When markers overlap, they are automatically separated so visitors can click each one and explore every entry, even in densely packed areas.
Will it work with my page builder and WooCommerce store?
The Map Facet is compatible with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and other page builders, so you can embed and style it in custom layouts. It also works alongside WooCommerce, Advanced Custom Fields and WPML.
