3. Switch on the Geocode option

You will need to enter an API key for Google Maps with the Google Geocode API enabled.

When this option is enabled the redirect to the target URL is slowed down by at least 250ms, because the Google Geocode API is queried first.

If the user approves being geolocated an address is assigned to the scan, it will show on the scan statistics page, the scans report on CSV and on the API statistics call.

If the address is not precise and/or you want to fine-tune the text of the address you can manually edit it from the statistics page clicking on the pencil.
