Work Stays — UK Property Search Platform
Work Stays is a UK-based accommodation platform for workers seeking short-term housing near job sites. Their existing search couldn't handle postcode or county-level queries, causing users to drop off without finding results. The brief was to build a precise, UK-specific location search that actually worked.
Client
Work Stays
Services
Google Map API integration
Timeline
6 - 8 weeks
The primary objective was to deliver a fast, accurate, and user-friendly location search tool that:
Integrated seamlessly with the existing WordPress website.
Allowed searches across the UK by city, county, postcode and complete address.
Improved user experience, lead generation, and SEO visibility for location-based queries.
Ensured scalability for future expansion into other regions.
Google Maps API Setup
Configured the API for address autocomplete and geolocation.
Handled API restrictions for UK-only search results, ensuring localized accuracy.
Custom Search Implementation
Integrated search fields for city, county, postcode and full address.
Created a clean interface for users to find the nearest location quickly.
SEO & Performance
Optimized location pages with structured data (schema) to improve rankings in local searches.
Ensured the search tool was lightweight and mobile-friendly for better Core Web Vitals.
The final solution provided the client with a powerful location-based search system tailored for the UK. By combining the Google Maps API with SEO best practices, the website users now enjoy an intuitive and accurate way to find services.
This integration not only enhanced usability but also improved the site’s local SEO visibility, helping the client attract more relevant traffic and conversions.
