Stockist is a popular store locator app for ecommerce sites — embeddable maps, distance-based search, custom markers. StoreVitals monitors site health across SEO, security, performance, and accessibility — including detecting which store locator app your site uses.
Stockist and StoreVitals serve different purposes. Stockist is the embeddable store locator widget that lets multi-location brands display a searchable map of their physical stores or stockists. StoreVitals monitors the underlying site health to ensure the locator widget is reachable, the LocalBusiness schema is valid, and accessibility violations in the embedded map don't exclude assistive-tech users. The two are complementary: brands running Stockist benefit from running StoreVitals alongside it to catch when a Stockist widget update silently breaks the locator, when LocalBusiness schema is missing per-location markup, or when the embedded map adds render-blocking JavaScript.
