Local SEO: Change the Location URL in Google Maps

Yoast SEO: Local and Yoast SEO: Local SEO for WooCommerce include the ability to add a Google map for your location(s). The URL in the map, by default, points to the Yoast SEO location page on your website. In some cases, you may prefer to link to a different URL.

As of version 6.2, you or your developer can change the URL with the yoast_seo_local_change_map_location_url filter. This filter takes 2 params: $url (required) and $location_id.

You will find an example of how to use the filter below.

Single location

add_filter( 'yoast_seo_local_change_map_location_url', 'yoast_seo_local_change_map_location_url', 10, 1 );

/**
* Changes the location of the Google Maps URLs for your location.
*
* @param string $url The URL we're replacing.
*
* @return string The maps URL.
*/
function yoast_seo_local_change_map_location_url( $url ) {
return 'https://www.yoast.com';
}

Multiple locations

add_filter( 'yoast_seo_local_change_map_location_url', 'yoast_seo_local_change_map_location_url', 10, 2 );

/**
* Changes the location of the Google Maps URLs for your location, per location.
*
* @param string $url The URL we're replacing.
* @param int $location_id The ID of the location we're changing the map for.
*
* @return string The maps URL.
*/
function yoast_seo_local_change_map_location_url( $url, $location_id ) {
// Change this to the post ID you want to match against.
if ( $location_id === 1 ) {
$url = 'https://www.yoast.com';
}

return $url;
}
