See it in action
Here's what your guests see
The widget appears right on your property page — nearby restaurants, activities, and services show up automatically based on your address.
Who it's for
Built for any site with visitors
If your audience would benefit from knowing what's nearby, the widget is for you.
Vacation Rentals
Give every listing curated local recommendations that boost guest satisfaction and reduce "what should we do?" messages.
Hotels & Resorts
Replace your outdated concierge binder with a living, always-current digital guide to nearby dining, activities, and experiences.
Real Estate Sites
Sell the neighborhood, not just the property. Show homebuyers what life looks like near each listing with nearby restaurants and local favorites.
Travel Blogs & Guides
Enrich your content with live, location-aware recommendations that update themselves. No stale lists to maintain.
Destination Marketing
Tourism boards and destination sites can embed curated local discovery across partner pages, keeping visitors exploring your region.
Any Website
If your visitors would benefit from knowing what's nearby, the widget works. Event venues, coworking spaces, wedding sites, campgrounds.
How it works
Live in under 5 minutes
Most sites need just one script tag. We handle the rest.
Sign up and get your API key
Create your account, pick a plan, and get your API key instantly. No approval process, no waiting.
Paste one script tag
Add a single line to your page or template. The widget auto-detects your location from your page's existing structured data (schema.org, JSON-LD, meta tags). No manual address entry needed for most sites.
<script src="https://embed.bestbylocals.com/embed.js" data-key="pk_live_your_key_here" data-types="restaurants" <!-- optional --> data-widget="carousel" <!-- optional --> ></script>
Works with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, and any custom site. Defaults to restaurants + carousel if not specified.
Customize
Pick content types, widget style, and accent color from your dashboard. Or pass options directly in the embed code:
·
Auto-detect from page schema.org data
·
Template variable for CMS sites
·
CSS selector to read from your DOM
·
Manual lat/lng for exact control
