Frequently Asked Questions

What are Address Geocoding and Rooftop Geocoding?

Address Geocoding is any process that converts addresses into geographic coordinates regardless of accuracy. Rooftop Geocoding is address geocoding that consistently identifies rooftops of parcels' primary structures. Some geocoders falsely imply rooftop accuracy, but Smarty's US Rooftop Geocoding provides true rooftop coordinates.

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 address 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.

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's 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. To learn more, visit our article on geocoding accuracy.
