Make a service area map of the counties you serve
A service area map generator that draws real county and state borders, not circles on a street map.

Free to start, no signup.
- County maps for every state
- Import a spreadsheet or Google Sheet
- Office pins placed from addresses
- PNG, PDF or an embed for your site

Service area maps made in Ultimaps
Three real maps for three different jobs. Each one opens in Studio with the same areas colored, so you can swap in your own counties or states.

A good service area map answers one question for the reader: do you cover me, and how? These are the parts that answer it, and each one is a real control in Ultimaps Studio.
The areas you serve
Counties for a regional provider, states for national coverage, ZIP code areas for a dense metro. Real borders from public boundary data, so nothing is traced by hand.
Service levels in the legend
Primary and extended, same-day and next-day, or one color per crew or weekday. Each level is a legend item with its own color.
Your offices and bases
Add pins by address, by clicking the map or by pasting a list. Label them, color them and pick an icon.
A title and legend that travel with it
Both are part of the exported file, so a slide or a flyer needs no separate legend.
Hover and click on your website
Published maps show a tooltip for each county and can link each county or office to its own page.
How to create a service area map
Pick your state's county map, import the counties you serve or click them in, add your offices, then download or embed. It takes a few minutes.
Open your state's county map
Pick your state in the state picker and Studio opens its county map. For national coverage, start from the US states map instead.Import your list
Choose Import Data and upload a CSV, Excel or TSV file, or link a Google Sheet or Notion table. A second column such as Primary or Extended becomes the legend, one color per level.Or click the counties in
For a quick map, pick a color and click counties with the Bucket Fill tool. Name the color in the legend.Add your offices as pins
Type or paste addresses and Studio places the pins. Address lookups count against a monthly allowance: 100 free, 5,000 on Pro.Add a title, then export or publish
Download a PNG or a PDF for print, or publish the map and embed it on your website.
County, state or ZIP code: which map fits your service area
Use the unit your customers think in. Most regional providers map counties, national businesses map states, and metro delivery services map ZIP code areas.
Counties
- Best for
- Home health, hospice, utilities, nonprofits and regional contractors.
- Base map
- The county map of any of the 50 states.
- Good to know
- A common choice for regional providers.
States
- Best for
- National or multi-state distributors, dealers and agencies.
- Base map
- US states, or the US and Canada together.
- Good to know
- Fewest regions, so it is the fastest to make.
ZIP code areas
- Best for
- Dense metro delivery and same-day zones.
- Base map
- Each state's ZIP code map, plus a national 3-digit prefix map.
- Good to know
- Census ZCTAs, which approximate USPS ZIP codes. Not official delivery boundaries.
Metro Atlanta by ZIP code area. ZIP code areas are Census ZCTAs, an approximation of USPS ZIP codes.
Open this map in StudioServing by ZIP code instead?
Delivery and same-day services often run on ZIP codes rather than counties. Paste your list into the free ZIP code map maker and it colors each ZIP code area, with a second column for the service level. The link below opens it with the Atlanta list from this map already pasted in. Browse every state's map on the ZIP code maps page.
Add a service area map to your website
Most service area maps end up on an “areas we serve” page. Publish the map from Studio and paste the embed code into your site, or paste the share link into WordPress, Notion, Ghost or Substack, where it expands into an interactive map.
- Visitors hover a county and see a tooltip with its name and service level.
- Each county or office pin can link to its own location page.
Publishing needs a free account. Free embeds carry small Ultimaps attribution.
For proposals, decks and print
Most service area maps get printed or dropped into a document: the grant report, the RFP response, the board deck, the truck wrap, the trade-show banner. The title and legend are part of the file, so the map explains itself wherever it lands. PDF and SVG are vector files, so county lines and labels stay sharp at poster size.

Who makes service area maps
Service area and “counties we serve” maps come from care providers, food banks, state agencies, contractors and distributors. Anyone who covers a set of places and has to show it.
Home health, hospice and community care
The counties you're licensed or staffed to serve, for referral partners and for your own website.
Home services and contractors
HVAC, plumbing, pest control, cleaning and roofing. Standard versus trip-fee areas, on your website.
Nonprofits, food banks and agencies
The counties-we-serve map for the grant application, the annual report and the board deck.
Utilities, co-ops and public services
A clean picture of your service territory for a report, a rate filing appendix or a public page.
Distributors and dealers
States or counties by delivery day or warehouse. Splitting areas between reps instead? See sales territory maps.
Ultimaps compared with Google My Maps, radius tools and Google Business Profile
Most tools that call themselves a service area map generator draw a circle or a hand-traced shape on a street map. Here is how the options differ for a map you show people.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Feature | Ultimaps | Google My Maps | Free radius and polygon tools | Google Business Profile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real county and state borders | Yes, picked from a list | Traced by hand or imported as KML | A circle or a hand-drawn shape | No map, it is a setting |
| Legend with service levels | Yes | A basic layer list | Rarely | No |
| Office pins with labels | Yes | Yes | Usually one center point | Business address only |
| Print-ready PDF or SVG | One-time export or Pro | Basic print to PDF, no SVG | Usually a screenshot | No |
| Embed on your website | Yes, with tooltips | Yes | Often | No |
| Drive-time or radius | No, use the free radius tool | No | Yes | No |
| Affects local search ranking | No | No | No | Yes |
| Price | Free PNG with credit, €12.50 ($14.90) for one map, Pro €49/mo | Free | Free to paid | Free |
Use both. Your Google Business Profile service area decides where you show up in local search. A service area map is the picture you put on your site and in your documents.
