Find Nearby Service Providers with Resvly's New Map Search

Finding the right service provider just got a whole lot easier. Resvly's new Map Search lets you see exactly where providers are located, explore any suburb or postcode visually, and discover who's available right in your neighbourhood - all without typing a single extra word.

A New Way to Search: Map View

Every search on Resvly now includes a Map View toggle alongside the familiar Normal View. Switch to it after any search and the results panel transforms: provider pins appear on an interactive map, with a scrollable list of matching providers on the side.

🗺️ How to access it: Search for any service or category, then click the "Map View" button in the top-right of your results. That's it.

For Customers: Explore Providers Near You

The map is fully interactive. Pan and zoom freely - as you move the map, the provider list on the left automatically updates to show only the businesses within the visible area. This makes it effortless to:

  • Find providers within walking or driving distance of your home or workplace
  • Search a specific neighbourhood without knowing the exact suburb name or postcode
  • Spot clusters of providers and choose the most convenient one
  • Click any pin to see the provider's name and a quick link to their profile

The map opens centred on your searched location, your device's GPS position, or your country's region as a sensible fallback - so you're always looking at relevant results straight away.

📍 Pin = Real Location

When a provider has made their physical address public, their pin is placed at the exact street address - not just a rough area. You know precisely where you'd be going before you book.

🔄 Live Results

No need to hit Search again. Move the map and the provider list refreshes automatically, reflecting whoever operates in the area you're currently viewing.

For Providers: Get Found Where You Work

Map Search surfaces your business to customers who may never have known to search for your suburb specifically. Two things make it work in your favour:

📌 Service Areas determine who sees you

Add the suburbs and postcodes you serve under Business → Areas. Whenever a customer pans the map over those areas, you appear in their results - even if they never typed your suburb's name.

🏠 Physical Address places your pin precisely

If you've entered your street address under Business → General and enabled "Show address publicly", your pin lands at your exact location on the map rather than a generic suburb centroid. This builds trust and helps customers who are physically close but might be looking at a nearby suburb.

💡 Quick tip: Providers with more service areas listed naturally appear across a wider range of map views. If you serve multiple suburbs, make sure they're all added - every one is a new opportunity to be discovered.

Start Exploring Today

Map Search is live right now for everyone on Resvly - no setup required for customers, and just a few minutes of configuration for providers who want their pin to land in exactly the right place.

Whether you're looking for a dentist two streets away or a personal trainer in the next suburb, or you're a business that wants to be visible to the customers right around the corner - the map has you covered.
