Make Your Site More User-Friendly with Maps
In the web design world, it’s all about making things easy and enjoyable for your visitors. Adding maps to your contact or location pages does just that—it makes things more personalized and user-friendly.
A map allows your website visitor to see exactly where your store or business is located. They won't have to leave your site and open a new app.
The maps we will add will be responsive. They will look great on any device –– whether someone is viewing your website on a computer or a phone.

The Code
Here is the code I used in the video. You can use it in your Webflow project to add a dynamic Google map embed to your website.
<code>
<style>
/* add to comment out html to get it to show up
<div class="google-map">
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1434.9963863679732!2d-81.09214976184231!3d32.07993119881848!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x88fb9e6425f2f7cb%3A0x5f5b405404dfc7aa!2sJohnson Square%2C Savannah%2C GA 31401!5e1!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1677089842277!5m2!1sen!2sus" width="600" height="400" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe>

/* START of CSS */
/*target the div with class google-map*/
.google-map {

padding-top:56.25%;
position:relative;

.google-map iframe {

Questions You Might Be Asking
No. The iframe embed method uses Google's free Maps Embed API, which doesn't require an API key or billing setup. You only need a key if you switch to the JavaScript Maps API for advanced customization like custom markers or styled map layers.
That percentage creates a 16:9 aspect ratio box that scales with its container width. Because padding-top percentages are calculated from the parent's width, the height grows proportionally as the viewport shrinks. The absolutely positioned iframe then fills that box, giving you a responsive map without fixed pixel dimensions.
Yes. Add a plain text field to your CMS collection for the embed URL, then drop an embed element inside your collection template and bind the src attribute to that field. Each CMS item will render its own map without any extra code per page.
Make sure you copied the full iframe src from Google Maps Share → Embed a map, and that the wrapper div has the google-map class exactly as written in the CSS. Also confirm the CSS lives inside a style tag in page settings or an embed — Webflow's Designer won't render iframes from custom code until you publish or preview.
