Custom Category Markers 1.1 – Addon for WordPress
Description
Custom Category Markers is a WordPress plugin add-on for Super Store Finder for WordPress, designed to make your store locator easier to browse. It lets you assign a unique map marker to every category in your locations. When customers open your Google Maps-powered directory, category-specific icons reduce confusion and help them spot the right stores faster. By improving clarity on the map and aligning markers with how people search, it supports smoother navigation and better outcomes in your store-finding flow.
