Benefits of autocompleting addresses

 
  1. Improve user experience: Autocomplete makes it easier for users to fill out address fields in a form. It saves time and reduces frustration, leading to a smoother user experience.
  1. Increase conversion cates: A better user experience can lead to higher conversion rates. With autocomplete, users are more likely to complete the form, resulting in increased conversions.
  1. Reduce errors: Autocomplete helps to reduce errors in address inputs. This ensures that addresses are entered accurately, reducing the likelihood of incorrect deliveries.
 

End user experience

When a user begins to enter an address in a form field, Google Maps Autocomplete will suggest possible location names based on the characters entered. The user can then select the correct location from the suggestions, reducing the likelihood of errors. This provides a faster and smoother experience for the user, resulting in higher conversion rates.
