Appealing static maps can improve the reader’s experience by providing visual context to your articles, helping readers visualize places mentioned. They can simplify complex information, show travel routes, showcase geographical locations and make the content more engaging.

4. Create More Traffic for Your Site

SEO is an important topic for owners of website-domains wishing to increase or maintain traffic. If done correctly, static maps can help you do just that.

Additionally, the static maps will show up in the Google Images search, which will provide an additional avenue for potential readers.
