How Address Autocomplete Grows Your Business

Abracadabra, Your Address is Ready!

Take a moment to imagine your customer's experience when they realize their address is already there, ready for selection. That's the power of address autocomplete, enhanced by high-quality, rooftop-accurate reverse geocoding. Your customers will be delighted, maybe even a bit enchanted, with their pre-filled address entry.

The Magic Behind the Scenes

But what's the sorcery behind zero keystroke autocomplete? It's called reverse geocoding. This involves converting a location (a set of latitude and longitude coordinates) into the nearest street addresses, sorted by distance.

If your user has location enabled, your website or app captures the user's precise location and uses reverse geocoding to identify the nearest addresses and Voila!

The users' addresses appear before they've entered a single character, with 1 click, the correct address populates and eliminates the risk of incorrect or incomplete address data while creating a frictionless, speedy user experience.

When you combine reverse geocoding with address autocomplete, you give your customers a couple of choices: they can select an address provided by reverse geocoding, or if their precise location is disabled, they can start typing their address and see new suggestions automatically provided by Smarty's US Address Autocomplete API. It's a versatile and user-friendly experience that caters to everyone.

The combination of Smarty's US Reverse Geocoding API and autocomplete ensures that even without sharing their exact location, users can still enjoy the best possible checkout experience.

The Prestige of Perfect Matches

Smarty's APIs reduce wasted lookups, false positives, and no-match addresses along with typos and incomplete data that lead to the flurry of associated costs, bad data, and customer service concerns. This strategy offers the best possible matches, aids in preventing entry errors, and makes address completion as quick as a magician's sleight of hand.

Why It's a Showstopper?

Zero keystroke autocomplete isn't just a fun party trick. It has real benefits:

Reduced typos and errors Reduced costs from bad addresses Instant address entry Higher form conversions Happier customers

So, want to supercharge your checkout and dazzle your customers with the magic of zero keystroke autocomplete? Get ready to wow your audience and your boss with seamless, instant address entry. And remember, the magic starts with a click. Download our ebook, "Magical Benefits of Address Autocomplete", and learn how to cast this tech spell on your forms today!

Star Wars Day

One of the most popular and successful movie franchises—by far—is George Lucas' Star Wars. The impact Star Wars has had on the culture of the United States and the rest of the world is incredible. From 1977 on, Hollywood has been producing large, fantastical blockbusters packed with practical and computer-generated special effects. Movies have started being considered based wholly on the merchandise they could sell. Toy laser swords have been selling like hotcakes, and every child finds themselves secretly trying to turn off the light from their bed using the Force.

In our recent webinar, we hosted Jeffrey Duncan, our Technical Product Manager, who discussed the complexities and nuances of managing address data across various international formats. While seemingly straightforward, addresses are quite complex, especially when dealing with international data. Jeffrey highlighted the variability in address formats, which can range from the number of address lines to the order of address components, differing significantly from one country to another. For instance, while a US address typically follows a structured format, addresses in countries like Germany or India can have a completely different setup, impacting data entry and management.
