When selecting the best way to GeoCode your locations, you should consider the following:
- The number of locations you need to GeoCode
- The frequency of new locations and location changes that require GeoCoding
- The accuracy of the GeoCoding: the exact address (or "rooftop"), very close (the ZIP+4), or general area
- Your budget.
Here are some options for GeoCoding your locations:
- Engage a service to GeoCode your locations. This is often an effective choice if you have a large list of locations that will be GeoCoded once for a project.
- Engage an internet service that can provide you with a selection of GeoCoding choices to fit your volume, frequency, accuracy and
budget.
- Acquire GeoCoding software - a good choice for those who have a large volume of GeoCoding and the staff and budget to manage the process
