How to add Interactive Maps to your website

Embed Interactive Maps on Your Website

01

Create a Interactive Maps widget for your website on Common Ninja

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

02

Save the Interactive Maps widget

When you're done creating the Interactive 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 Interactive Maps Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Interactive Maps widget to your 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 website.

04

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

Next, go to your Platform 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 Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Interactive Maps Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Interactive Maps widget on your Platform 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 Interactive Maps widget on your Platform 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 Platform 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 Interactive Maps widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Interactive Maps widget when you need to visualize geographic data or territory in a way that encourages exploration and understanding. Color coded regions, markers, and tooltips let visitors see patterns such as coverage, performance, or demographics at a glance. This is powerful for franchises, logistics, sales territories, statistics dashboards, travel sites, and educational content. Rather than static images, interactive maps respond to hover and click, revealing more details without cluttering the view. They help you tell stories about place, reach, and impact in a way that is intuitive even for users who do not enjoy reading tables or complex charts.
