Pinscribe.

A map plugin for WordPress. Write it. Pin it.

Pinscribe turns the posts you already write into a searchable map, complete with listing cards, filters and routes. There is no API key to set up and no separate directory to maintain: each location is stored on its own post, so the map grows as you write. We built it, and it runs live on BBQ Travel Club's Global BBQ Map.

[ How it works ]

From post to place in three steps.

No duplicate listings and no directory to rebuild. Keep writing the way you already do.

  1. 01

    Write your post

    Create a venue, event, guide or story in the WordPress editor you already know.

  2. 02

    Give it a location

    Search for the place or drop a pin. Pinscribe stores the location on your post.

  3. 03

    Publish your map

    The post becomes a searchable pin, a listing card and a page search engines understand.

[ What it does ]

More useful than a map. Easier than a directory.

  • Searchable maps

    Readers search by place, explore nearby listings, filter results and move between pins, cards and posts.

  • Routes and guides

    Draw walks, rides and drives, add overnight stops and offer GPX downloads.

  • Rich listing cards

    Images, dates, hours, services, directions, calls, websites and social links.

  • Fits your site

    Your colours, card styles, wording and map coverage. Add it with a block, a shortcode or an Elementor widget.

[ Made for ]

Anyone whose content has a place.

  • Travel and food blogs

    Every review, guide and recommendation on one map readers can explore.

  • Tourism and destinations

    Places to stay, eat and visit, plus walks, rides and road trips.

  • Brands with stockists

    A dealer or branch locator, each location a proper page.

  • Events and listings

    Dated listings that show up on the map and in search.

[ Nothing locked in ]

Your content stays where it belongs.

Pinscribe stores locations and listing details on your own WordPress posts. There is no separate database to maintain and no platform holding your content.

  • Edit the post and the map follows.
  • Remove the plugin and your content remains.
  • Use free maps with no key or sign-up.

[ FAQs ]

Questions people ask us

Do I need a Google Maps API key?
No. Pinscribe uses free map tiles that work without an account or a key, so the map works as soon as it is installed.
What happens to my content if I stop using it?
Nothing is lost. Locations and listing details are stored on your own WordPress posts, not in a separate database or on someone else's platform. Remove the plugin and every post is still there.
Does it work with my page builder?
It can be added with a block in the WordPress editor, a shortcode, or an Elementor widget.
Can you set it up or build something custom for us?
Yes. We built it, so we can install and configure it for your site, or build something bespoke on top of it. Get in touch and tell us what you have in mind.

[ Custom plugins ]

Need something Pinscribe does not do?

Pinscribe started as a custom build for one client. If your site needs a plugin that does not exist yet, we can build that too.
