Geolocation Add-On: An Introduction

The functionality of the Geolocation Add-On is two-fold: not only can you improve user experience with address autocomplete, but you can also learn more about your audience by viewing the geographical data of those submitting forms on your site.

Address Autocomplete

With the Geolocation Add-On, users can opt to autocomplete the address field on their forms. The Geolocation Add-On provides Google Places API integration to the Address field, which allows for easy lookup and population of addresses.

This helps to ensure a smooth form completion process for customers, improving user experience and ultimately reducing form abandonment.

Capture Geographical Data

Importantly, the Geolocation Add-On allows you to easily collect and store geographical data with form submissions. Within each form entry, a Google map will display the user’s location, helping to give clear insight into where your customers are located. You’ll also be able to view address information, as well as the longitude and latitude of a user when they completed the form.

Understanding where your customers are based can help you to make future decisions to help the growth of your business. This can range from implementing small improvements, for example new shipping services for certain regions, to long-term growth strategies, which could include reaching new audiences in different areas, countries, or continents.

By tracking geolocation data, you can collect the information you need to make informed decisions for your business.
