  ### 1. Helpful Tutorials, Friendly Chat Support, and Great Value

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa G. | Legal Administrative Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2026

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

I really like the YouTube videos that walk you through how to create the maps. I also appreciate the online chat feature—everyone is friendly, helpful, and quick to respond whenever I have questions. On top of that, it’s a great price for exactly what my firm needs.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

I had never used software like MapBusiness Online before, so personally I don’t really have any downsides or least-favorite aspects to point out.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They offered to pass along a suggestion I had to the owner.  They always solve my problems, even if it means a remote session to guide me through the steps to create the best map possible for my attorneys.

  ### 2. MapBusinessOnline for Trucking Operations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Trevor C. | Principal Engineer - P&amp;D Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2024

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

MapBusinessOnline has become an invaluable tool for our trucking operations, offering a powerful blend of mapping precision and business intelligence. Its ability to visualize customer density across geographic regions has directly supported smarter decisions around manning levels and route planning.

By layering customer locations, delivery volumes, and service windows onto detailed maps, we’ve been able to identify high-demand zones and align driver coverage accordingly. This has helped us optimize staffing, reduce idle time, and ensure our resources are deployed where they’re needed most.

Equally important, MapBusinessOnline is designed with accessibility in mind. Users don’t need to be GIS experts or have a technical background to be proficient. The interface is intuitive, and the learning curve is minimal—making it easy for operations teams to quickly generate insights and apply them to real-world decisions.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

Generally, everything seems to meet our needs.  We primarily focus on territory management with our density data and this product works well.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Visualizing where our business and customers are gives us the ability to strategically define and optimize our truck routes.

  ### 3. Outstanding Tool for Data Visualization and Competitive Insight

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Richard K. | President, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2025

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

I find MapBusinessOnline to be an outstanding, agile, and informative tool. I love how it allows us to plot all kinds of data and overlay it on maps, enabling us to quickly compare competitors and networks. This capability provides valuable insights and competitive advantages. I also have a strong appreciation for the value-to-price ratio, which is second to none for this product. Additionally, the integration with Microsoft Excel, allowing for enhanced charting, is outstanding. I find the product easy to set up and get started with, needing only a basic understanding of how to import data, and it aligns perfectly with our requirement to accurately calculate time and distance while advertising our excellent service.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

I find the product has a couple of quirks that require more in-depth usage to fully understand how it works, which can be slightly inconvenient. Additionally, the data limits can max out quickly if you do not regularly clean out old files. A warning about reaching these limits would be very welcome, as it would help prevent any unexpected issues with data capacity.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use MapBusinessOnline to accurately calculate time and distance and plot customer and transit data, gaining competitive insights and enhancing service advertising while ensuring an exceptional value-to-price ratio.

  ### 4. Outstanding Experience with This Software

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2026

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

Frequency of Use- our sales and marketing team uses it every day
Ease of Integration- it was pretty easy to set up. We publish updates for the sales team every quarter.
Number of Features- we only use a fraction of the features, so i can only imagine what else this can do. it's really comprehensive.
Customer Support- very responsive. usually responds within 2hrs. Every time I have a question, they are able to answer it.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

Ease of Use- set up can take some time when you don't know what you're doing. But luckily they have an extensive catalog of helpful youtube videos to help guide you.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Territory map

  ### 5. Custom Map Creation Made Easy for Territory Alignment

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2025

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

I appreciate the ability to create custom maps that reflect my company's territory alignment, especially since it is organized by zip codes. This feature makes it much easier to visualize and manage our specific regions.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

It can be quite time-consuming, especially since you often have to create and format data files—sometimes even two for each map.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I appreciate the feature that allows for creating visualizations to plan future territory expansion. Additionally, the option to design custom maps tailored for each sales representative is very useful.

  ### 6. Superior Technical Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2025

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

MapBusiness Online is an excellent tool for isolating specific regions for marketing and educational purposes and it supports meeting the needs of our client base. I am usually given an assignment that is "asap" and Jason has been so patient and helpful with  navigation of the system.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

There is a learning curve to understanding all of the options but becomes easier with each use.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use the maps to target areas relating to non-compete agreements amongst professionals in the medical industry. The maps are also used to plan trips to coordinate educational programs for a speakers circuit.

  ### 7. Solid Product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ethan A. | Chief Marketing Officer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2024

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

MBO is a solid product for the money. I'm a marketer that has been using geocoding software for over 20 years.  They can be expensive and challenging to work with.  

I would classify MBO as a consumer-grade product that will probably handle 99% of what most people need.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

I'd like to see a more robust catalog of demographic data available.   Sometimes, i'm limited on number of calculations (1mm) so I have to break my datasets into groups.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Anything related to consumer behavior in relation to our branches.   I'm a CMO and reach for MBO at least once a week.  Everyone likes pictures (maps) but there's a lot of intel to be derived.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Ethan,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Your feedback matters to us, especially as we explore new and expanded features for MapBusinessOnline Pro. 

Your use of the product is helping us understand its potential.

  ### 8. MapBusinessOnline is a really helpful tool that aided in my personal growth as a business developer

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mary Grace C. | Business Development Intern, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2024

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

I really liked the various sorting features, as well as the extensive amount of data and information that can be gathered from simple searches. It helped me to gather lists and organize them easily, and gain a large amount of information in a quick and efficient timeframe.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

I wish there was a better tutorial on how to work the program as a whole. I'm sure there are a lot of features I don't even know about because I had to teach myself how to work it.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our company is in the process of expanding and we are reaching out to new clients. We were able to use MapBusinessOnline to help us find popential new business clients and partners, as well as all of their contact information which saved us so much time and effort.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Mary,

Thank you for writing a review of MapBusinessOnline. Regarding tutorials. We do provide a MapBusinessOnline YouTube web video. Please feel free to write us with your suggestions for more tutorials. It is difficult to cover every feature in a video because the video can get prohibitively long.  

Sincerely,

Geoffrey Ives - President 

  ### 9. Great product, very useful businesses

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2024

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

I use this tool amost every day. In my line of work we need to take business locations and create radiuses either a certain miliage away from the business or more of a generic drive time from the office. The radius allows me to figure out what zip codes are within that range from the office. I can then pull those zip codes out of the system with a simple export and figure out demographics & counts of how many people to target for the business. There's really so many uses for this tool. 

I like mostly that its easy to use and does exactly what I need it to do.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

Nothing really. I don't use all the features but for what I do use it gets the job done. If i had to put something here I'd say maybe a way to customize the map a bit more to make it visually more appealing.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps to determine zip codes. This is needed so that we can run demographic counts of age / income on another site. So we combine this software with another to create a perfect analysis for a client.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to post the review of MapBusinessOnline.
We will continue to seek ways to optimize our map look further and feel.

  ### 10. Map Point user found this a Great Solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jay W. | IT Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2024

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

We used map Point for years and desperatelly needed a replacement solution. This one fits the bill, and is actually much better in many ways. Especially in a team environment.  We do logistics with routing technicians to jobs for roll outs. This helps our team working thousands of sites over multi month projects. Also easy to manage licenses for users.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

Map Point did a couple things that were useful that this tool does not do, like being able to mouse click and drag over push pins then export those pins to excel.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Example business case would be taking 3000 locations, and planning how you wil have multiple different technicians visit an area or region of these locations over 3 months. each visit will take x amount of time. They only work certain hours of the day and you have to plan in drive time so the day actually makes sense and the route is efficient.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Jay,

We greatly appreciate your review.  It is always good to get a sense of what the product might be missing - your MapPoint data-gathering process is worth considering.

In your review, you mentioned MapPoint’s ability to gather point data from the map. In MapBusinessOnline, we do provide spatial searches. You could, under Search Tools, select a polygon or free-form draw tool to gather the points for marketing lists and export. Read more here in our inline blog under Spatial Search.



Thanks,

Geoff Ives - President

**Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2024

Great aide in the menegement of territories in the effort to identify geographic areas for business growth.  Helps managers and sales representatives understand the basic details about an individual account as that accounts participates in the territory's effort to achieve sales goals.

Software could be a little more intuitive...

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 12. Most important tool we have

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Will H. | National Sales Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

MBO is easy to learn, easy to add customers or prospects, easy to export or import data, customer support is the best in the industry

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

If there is any thing about MBO I dislike I have not found it, it is the best mapping , routing and prospecting tool in the industry.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With over 19,000 propects and Customers we needed some thing our field salesman could use to map out customer locations and optimize their travel time. MBO is the best.

  ### 13. Powerful mapping program that gives you control to customize

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris Z. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2023

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

The ability to import any list of data and use in the map.  The program gives us complete control of our data and the map views.  The learned curve is low and the program is pretty easy to use.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

The user interface / look and feel is a little behind other apps with more modern looks.  But the ability to customize and import data far outweighs the user interface.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have territories for our franchise owners.  Need to have a visual of the territory and ability to import customer data, sales revenue and censor data into an easy to view map.  Our customer data is constantly changing so need to be able to update often.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to review MapBusinessOnline. We will continue to improve the application based on user feedback.  Yours is appreciated.

thanks,

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2024

The option to create several different maps, and add my data to create great visual Sales Territory Maps.  Great support team and videos to assist when stuck, easy integration with our current system.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

The only thing missing from this software is Mexico, which I have been seeking out for some time now.  Also, continuing our previous discount so more co-workers can utilize this software.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It benefits our company by allowing a smooth integration with our current system.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Chwana,

Thank you so much for your kind review. We do collect the requests for other geographies. There are many factors to consider when adding a new country. We will continue to review possible new areas.

  ### 15. Everyday Mapping Software

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Walter L. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2024

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

Strong funcationality at a fraction of the cost.  Importing and quering funcation, great visualization representation of the information.  An amazoing tool that can be leverage across multiple business funcations/departments.

Minor limitation on file formats.  I would like to be able to import multiple data sets and them query all at the same time.  Ability to choose which information is returned.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Where our customers are located and the proximity to national DC's.  What other potential customers can we service based upon proximity to existing ones.

  ### 16. MapBusinessOnline has been the best mapping software for our Franchise business.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2023

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

One of the biggest advantages over other mapping solutions is the speed at which I can generate Territories. What took hours in the old days, I can now do in less than an hour. I also appreciate how I can use slaes data to create heat maps that are invaluable when analyzing franchisee's overall effectiveness in their market.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

If I had to have a negative, I would say the 200 map limit of the plan I am on. I can use them up pretty fast, and I am always having to delete old maps. I would love the ability to archive maps on my harddrive and re-import them so I am not having to start from scratch.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Generating zip code based territories for franchisees.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Mark,

Thank you so much for your kind words. You clearly understand why we're seeing a lot of franchise interest. 

One suggestion I have for you is to create My Template maps when you create a significant business map or territory map. After you're done editing a map, just make sure to drop down to the My Template folder and save that map there. Then you can always use that template map as a starting point for other maps.

I use map templates all the time when I'm constructing business maps. There are articles on templates in the blog you can search for. We can always provide a web demo too. Just request a demo through the contact button.

Thanks again.

  ### 17. Mapping Software for the Average Professional

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2023

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

MBO makes me look like a GIS whiz. I evaluated several mapping software packages back in 2018, and concluded on MBO with no hesitation. I needed to create territories for a new salesforce I was supporting, and was able to do so in no time. Adding zip codes, removing zips from an existing territory - all of which very easy with this tool. I also handle many analytics and my clientele likes viewing where the business is geographically. Heat maps, plotting data points, where does the competition exist, etc. - all of which easily mapped. Yes, I use data visualization tools Tableau and MS Power BI - and still believe that MBO is superior to them. I've renewed my subscription every year since 2018.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

In order to become a regularly-used tool within the life sciences space, the company needs to find a way to replicate a salesforce. It is easy enough to group zip codes into 1 territory, but you cannot group multiple territories into a district, region, or area. In life sciences, the hierarch is Area > Region > District > Territory. And, there are also hybrid territories that exist - in which 1 hybrid covers 2 or more territories. It is these additional layers where MBO is weak.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Just completed an analysis in which the client needed to go after Medicare business. With its built-in demographics, I can create the fields to calculate % population that is 65 years or older. Because patient claims data is only available at the 3-digit zip code level, I create the calculations for both 3 and 5-digit zip codes.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Thank you for your review of MapBusinessOnline.  

Be sure to read about hierarchical territory creation in our blog or help documentation. MapBusinessOnline supports creating and managing territories, regions, and divisions. 

Request a web demo if you require more information.

  ### 18. Fantastic Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Newspapers | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2024

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

If you're looking for software that can create territories, overlay multiple layers of data, and pinpoint locations...this is it.  This cloud based software is very easy to use and understands actual addresses, zip codes and SCFs, unlike some other programs that rely strickly on lat and long.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

The software is not inexpensive and allows only limited sharing with those that do not have a license.  There are also limits to plotable locations, business list searches and routing.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use MapBusinessOnline to visualize data, overlay multiple layers of data and report to executive leadership.

**Official Response from Geoffrey Ives:**

> Thank you so much for your kind review.

  ### 26. Overall useful app, makes my life easier, interface could use some redesign

MBO allows you to create different geographic mapping systems based on existing data from specific geographical areas, this allows us to correctly analyze the location strategies of each of our points of sale, with which we can observe and analyze carefully the flow of information. people, from different places, can a detailed additional information, which allows us to determine the best locations of each place we want to set aside for us.

Something I love about this application, is that with the passage of time, you corroborate the different data that this system gives you, with other external databases, and a very high percentage of this information is very accurate or always close to the figures of other services, or specialized databases.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

I must be honest, I have tried the two versions of MBO and the desktop version is not to my liking, I have become very familiar with the version in the browser, I feel that the platform in a desktop application only remains, and apart it does not have nothing different to the browser, that one would expect something special, but no, just download the app, to your PC, and it's the same as in the cloud, it does not make much sense.


**Recommendations to others considering MapBusinessOnline:**

It is a very advanced tool to create all kinds of geographical dispositions, creating maps with all kinds of necessary data, to perform all kinds of analysis and apply the best business strategies, and progress and growth of a company, obtaining through different layers of data, the most complete information, of the local positioning strategies.

This application allows us to perform different market studies from our office, with different statistical data, locations, flow of people, potential customers, and other features of business analysis, which make us reach the indicated places always.

The search of all types of data using this tool is quite fast and simple, so you can have almost any type of information needed in moments.

  ### 34. Great for Territory Mapping

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Danielle O. | Administrative Coordinator, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2017

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

Territory Mapping, Forecasting, Ability to see visual of entire company with customer detail. Maps are easy to share with our Brand Partners so that they can use it to easily find the appropriate consultant for the zip code. 

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

Data exports are difficult to use, updated version makes it harder to edit zip codes within territories. This map takes a very long time to load, depending on what you have. When first opening the program from scratch, you have to start a new map - it should give you the option to choose from an existing saved map or create a new map - very frustrating. Not enough levels of pricing - we use for minimal purposes, but pay the same price as someone who uses on a regular basis. 

**Recommendations to others considering MapBusinessOnline:**

We have 4 different regions with 32 territories, and this provides a great visual for our back office as well as our Brand Partners. We use this for re-aligning territories, as well as seeing customer sales by region, state and zip! So much better than our previous "paper" version!

**What do you like best about MapBusinessOnline?**

So many features, we use only a fraction of them, but it allows us to carve up territories in the USA with ease.

**What do you dislike about MapBusinessOnline?**

Just the learning curve of a new piece of online software, but overall it's very intuitive 

**Recommendations to others considering MapBusinessOnline:**

This software is powerful -- and 10 years ago would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for a company to access.  Very happy with what it does, and pleased that they aren't price gouging.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We sell direct mail newsletters to car dealerships and repair shops throughout the USA, and it's important that no household receives the same mailer from two competing businesses.  With Map Business Online, we can pin our clients and prospects, then identify zip codes already "purchased" by a dealer so we know which areas/zips we can sell without overlap.

Tutorials were a little difficult to follow or to find exactly what I was looking for.

I think they should take full advantage of the questions and answers page, and also watch Youtube videos for free tutorials for MBO.

**What problems is MapBusinessOnline solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using MBO has been very helpful to a lot of our field workers since they can pull up a map with their territories from anywhere.  I think it has also helped me to learn valuable skills regarding map software.
