The problem it solves

You need latitude and longitude for a list of addresses, maybe for delivery routes or a map, but looking each one up by hand takes forever and is easy to get wrong. Copying coordinates back into your spreadsheet one at a time is tedious busywork.

Who it fits

Any business that needs to map or route a list of addresses, like delivery, logistics, or event planning.

How it works

  1. Addresses are read from your Google Sheet
  2. Each one is sent to the Google Maps API for lookup
  3. The matching latitude and longitude are retrieved
  4. The same spreadsheet is updated with the coordinates for every address
What you get

Addresses ready to drop straight onto a map

Your list of addresses gets turned into exact map coordinates automatically, ready to use for routing or mapping right away.

What you get

A Google Sheet with accurate latitude and longitude added next to every address.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a Google Cloud account with the Maps API enabled.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
