The problem it solves

When customers or staff submit an address through a form, you can't always tell if it's typed correctly or where the location actually is. Manually checking each address and pulling up a street photo for verification is slow and easy to skip.

Who it fits

A business that collects addresses through forms and needs to verify and visually confirm each one, like property, delivery, or field service companies.

How it works

  1. Someone submits an address through a form
  2. The address is checked and converted into map coordinates
  3. A Street View photo is requested for that location
  4. If a photo is available, it's saved to Google Drive
  5. A confirmation page shows the result, or an error if the address can't be verified
What you get

Addresses confirmed with a matching photo

You get every submitted address checked for accuracy and paired with a Street View photo saved straight to your Drive.

What you get

A verified address with a matching Street View photo saved to Google Drive.

What you need

A Google Maps API key and a Google Drive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
