We’re excited to launch Omni StoreLocator — a Shopify app designed to make your stores more visible, more discoverable, and more visited.

At DAiOM, we’ve worked closely with a wide range of retail and D2C brands that operate across both online and offline channels. And across every conversation, one thing became clear: 

“Driving footfall to stores remains the primary challenge omnichannel brands face today.”

And it’s not because people don’t want to shop offline. In fact, most of us still Google a place before we visit—whether it’s a restaurant, a café, or a brand store. 

But, if your store isn’t showing up in local search with a great experience, you’re losing that customer.

That’s where the idea of Omni StoreLocator was born.

We asked ourselves: What if we could help brands improve their “near me” discoverability, boost local SEO, and create a smooth path from online search to offline visit?

And that led us to build a simple, mobile-first store locator that helps brands show up right.

Already trusted by more than 200 stores across four prominent brands in India, Omni StoreLocator is proving to be a powerful tool in bridging the gap between online browsing and offline shopping.

1. Why Are Omnichannel Brands Still Struggling to Drive In-Store Visits?

Most store locator apps we tested had a common issue — they were either limited to a single page or not fully optimized for local SEO.

A high-performing store locator needs more than just a map. It should include elements like customer reviews, ratings, calls-to-action (CTAs), and more.

We reviewed several top-rated Shopify apps like SC Store Locator, MAPPY, Storemapper, Stockist Store locator and more and implemented a few changes in ours. The result was a 36% increase in search impact.

Despite investing in store locator tools, many brands still struggle with local discoverability — and it’s costing them foot traffic. Then you can lead into:

  • Poor Local Discoverability: Customers often search “brand near me,” but if your store doesn’t show up, they move on.
  • Unoptimized Store Locator Pages: Many websites have outdated or bad store locator tools that frustrate users instead of guiding them.
  • Lack of Mobile-Friendly Interfaces: With most users browsing on mobile, non-responsive designs lead to drop-offs.
  • Neglected Google My Business Profiles: Incomplete or unmanaged listings result in missed search impressions and lost visits.

2. How Omni StoreLocator Solves This Challenge?

Omni StoreLocator tackles the problem of low offline footfall by making it easy for customers to find physical stores right from your website.

Instead of struggling with outdated store locators, brands get a clean, simple tool that connects online visitors directly to nearby stores. 

It helps bridge the gap between digital browsing and real-world shopping by improving store visibility and making the discovery process smooth and fast.
