Overview

Best uses

A radius map is the fastest way to show a coverage area when exact boundaries aren't critical. It's especially useful for service businesses that want to communicate range without overcomplicating things.

Delivery range
Home services coverage
Simple “nearby” zones for landing pages
Key features

What radius is (and isn't)

It's important to set the right expectation with visitors. Radius shows straight-line distance, not driving time or road miles. For most use cases that's perfectly fine -- but being clear about it prevents confusion.

Radius is as-the-crow-flies distance
It's not driving time, but it's great for quick clarity
Use a polygon if you need accurate real-world boundaries
How to set up

How to present a radius map clearly

A circle on a map is only helpful if people understand what it means. Adding a label and a few words of context makes the difference between a helpful visual and a confusing one.

Label the radius (e.g. “Within 10 miles”) directly on the page
Add a short FAQ for edge cases (outside the circle but close)
If you have exceptions, mention them explicitly (bridges, tolls, restricted areas)

Quick setup for your landing page

You can go from nothing to a published radius map on your landing page in just a few minutes. The key is pairing the map with clear copy so visitors know exactly what the circle means.

Add a radius shape in the editor or use the free tool below
Include a short headline above the map (e.g. ‘We deliver within 10 miles’)
Add a ‘Contact us’ CTA for customers near the edge of your zone
Embed the map on your service area page — one line of code
