Executive Summary — why MapsX is different
MapsX merges the best of a geolocated map with the marketplace experience and adds store-customizable AI. It’s not just a showcase: it’s a growth platform that converts visits into real customers through automation, analytics, and tools designed for each store to optimize sales, visibility, and operations. Core benefit: turn your local presence into an attraction and conversion machine — with automated tools that boost visibility, service, and operations without large teams.
Problem we solve (market insight)
- Local stores do not appear in relevant searches or fail to convert visits into sales.
- Setting up and maintaining a virtual assistant or AI solutions is expensive and complex.
- Sellers waste time on logistics, tagging, and product SEO.
- Other platforms can be cold and hard to position for small local businesses.
MapsX solves: localized visibility + automated tools + centralized management so merchants can focus on selling.
Our value proposition (unique value)
- Immediate local visibility: personalized link and optimized listings for local searches.
- Store-specific AI: Chat-AI answers clients, suggests tags, optimizes descriptions, and automates sales flows.
- Integrated economy (CoinX): payment for AI services, optimizations, and microtransactions within the ecosystem.
- All-in-one dashboard: inventory, basic accounting, logistics, and metrics in one place.
- Marketplace + map: customers find stores by location, product, and reputation, not just price.
How MapsX makes money (revenue streams)
- One-time sale of personalized links (single payment per URL).
- Commissions for premium services (AI features, advanced tagging, map promotion).
- Subscriptions and upgrades: monthly/annual plans for advanced dashboards, reports, and search priority.
- Microtransactions with CoinX: token sales to consume AI, processing, and technical services.
- Local advertising and sponsored spots (banners, top listings).
- Marketplace fees (optional: percentage on sales processed via MapsX payments).
- Partnerships and B2B: integrations for chains/partners, API licenses.
Note: We prioritize recurring models + microtransactions to maximize LTV and scalability.
How sellers make money on MapsX (monetization mechanisms)
- Direct product sales through the store listing.
- Premium services (e.g., store customization, campaign management) for other sellers or local businesses.
- Receiving internal rewards (if Recognition Program applies) when their code generates activity; tools to convert that activity into sales.
- Saving on marketing and time: AI automation and tagging reduce variable costs per sale.
- Higher conversion with 24/7 attention via Chat-AI.
Crucial: MapsX does not promise fixed income. Merchants increase their chance of sales through visibility, optimized listings, and automated support.
