8 Questions to Ask When Selecting a Geocoding API
Address geocoding for better decisions
Our US Rooftop Geocoding indicates the exact location of the structure—not just the center of the parcel. Telecom, P&C insurance, healthcare, real-estate, and non-profit organizations use this highly precise data to make better-informed business decisions. The more accurate the latitude and longitude coordinates, the more profitable your decisions.
Speeds up to 10,000X faster
Our geocoding process isn’t just accurate, it’s also blindingly fast. Even our base-level enterprise geocoding plan is five times faster than the other guys—with additional plans that offer speeds up to 10,000 times faster! US Rooftop Geocoding is also cloud-based, so you can get breakneck speeds without the hassle or exorbitant costs of onsite installations.
Fixed costs eliminate billing surprises
Surprises are best left for birthday parties and TV medical dramas, not business transactions. In business you want to know what to expect, which is why our pricing is straightforward. You know exactly what you’re getting and how much it’ll cost. No overage charges. No hidden fees. No unwelcome surprises.
Built-in address validation and standardization
The data you get from any geocoder is only as good as the data you put into it. Luckily, US Rooftop Geocoding is seamlessly integrated with our ridiculously-awesome address verification and address standardization tools. There’s no need to run your data through a separate utility. Built-in address validation reduces bogus results.
15+ Million Non-Postal Addresses
A physical address isn’t always the same as a mailing address. US Rooftop Geocoding will give you geographic coordinates for over 15 million addresses that aren’t recognized by USPS. Accessing non-postal geocode data is crucial to improving services in many industries such as telecom, insurance, logistics, and real estate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is (forward) geocoding?
A geocode is the latitude and longitude coordinates of a physical address. “Rooftop” geocoding indicates that the returned geocode coordinates will point to the actual rooftop of an address. Other geocoding providers may give you an estimated geocode for the center of a property—possibly a long way from the actual roof of the building. Smarty' US Rooftop Geocoding gives you true rooftop geocodes.
What is reverse geocoding?
Reverse geocoding is the process of finding the nearest address or addresses to a set of latitude and longitude coordinates. In addition to geocoding, Smarty offers a hyper-fast reverse geocoding API.
What is the purpose of geocoding?
Geocoding unlocks hidden value from your address data. For example, what insurance risks does an address have nearby? What specific service area is it in? The more precise your geocodes are, the more you can reduce costs, and increase profits.
How do I get a geocode for an address?
US Rooftop Geocoding is coupled with Smarty’ US Street Address API. You can check out how it works by trying out the demo above. More detailed instructions on how US Rooftop Geocoding works can be found in our helpful documentation.
How accurate is Smarty' rooftop geocoding?
The majority of addresses will be accurate to the building footprint level. In cases where multiple addresses are located within the same building, our geocoder will frequently be accurate at the sub-building level—meaning we can help you identify individual shops in a strip mall, or precisely locate each office in a business park.

Can I save geocodes?
Yes, saving geocodes is an available option. These geocoded addresses can be used in other applications within your organization for as long as you are a Smarty geocoding customer. Contact our Sales team for more information.
How often are your geocodes updated?
We collect location data from thousands of local authoritative sources and update our database continuously. That data is also conflated monthly with US Postal Service Data.
How does US Rooftop Geocoding deal with false positives?
Many other geocoding services produce an unacceptable amount of false positives. False positives can lead to costly mistakes and misinformed business decisions. US Rooftop Geocoding from Smarty is coupled with our highly accurate address validation systems. It greatly reduces the number of false positives in your data by marking them as invalid. By using US Rooftop Geocoding, you can make the best decisions using accurate data.
