Use Google+ codes to quickly connect your customers to a certain location with a fixed code. Gone are the days of sharing your actual address or even geo-location - just use the Google+ code.

What is a Google+ code?

A Google+ code, also known as a plus code, is a digital address consisting of a combination of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies a specific geographical location on earth. Plus Codes look similar to "XXXX+XX city name" or "XXXX+XX country". They are a shorter and simpler alternative to traditional addresses and can be used anywhere in the world, even where there are no traditional addresses available.

You can find any location's Google+ code by visiting it in Google Maps and scrolling down in the left-hand menu.
