Help your customers find you

As the popularity of options like curbside pickup skyrockets, it’s more important than ever to help customers find you. Integrate routes, traffic estimates, and directions into your online purchase experience, presented on fully-customizable dynamic maps.

Make store location effortless

Helping your customers find their local store remains a cornerstone of building brand loyalty. Google Maps Platform provides the full range of information customers need, from store hours and accessibility options to photos of your storefront — all within the interface they already know and love.

Do more with physical locations

As customers rediscover the convenience of neighborhood stores, retailers have the opportunity to deepen brand loyalty. The Store Locator Plus solution can help you make the most of your physical locations by integrating targeted offers redeemable in-person, local calendars for in-store events and classes, and online scheduling for appointments and services.

Checkout
Speed up checkout and increase sales
Speed up checkout

With 70% of all online shopping carts abandoned before an order is placed3, retailers are striving to simplify and speed up each purchase. Autocomplete reduces address entry to just a few keystrokes or taps, cutting checkout time and helping to improve conversions.2

Get an extra layer of address protection

Make the checkout process easier on customers by using Address Validation to identify address components, fix errors, and validate existing addresses. Validating addresses early in the process can help reduce costs associated with failed deliveries, canceled orders, and chargebacks.

Reduce failed deliveries

As many as 5% of all addresses are entered incorrectly4, leading to costly delivery mistakes, frustrated customers, and unreliable CRM data. Autocomplete increases convenience and reliability by replacing manual entry of addresses with a menu of complete options. Address Validation can help improve delivery success by offering address corrections and suggestions that will ensure deliveries arrive on time and to the correct location.

Last Mile Fleet
Maximize fleet performance for scheduled deliveries
Create exceptional delivery experiences

Make address entry faster and easier for your customers, and more accurate for you and your drivers with Address Validation. It makes sure what was entered is an existing address, based on a variety of data sources, including postal services. And keep your customers happy and informed with Shipment Tracking, which lets them see the real-time location and ETA of their packages.

Help drivers make deliveries safely and on time

Drivers are at the heart of your operations, and their delivery jobs are getting harder. Providing them with helpful experiences has never been more important. Give your drivers an overview of their day so they can easily adjust their route plan and get to their destinations on time. Drivers can efficiently complete tasks right from your app with Driver Routing & Navigation, which includes turn-by-turn directions, lane level guidance, and speed limits. And, by providing more precise delivery locations, we can help your drivers get to the right place, at the right time.

Optimize fleet performance and planning

Last mile delivery makes up a large portion of total shipping costs, and pressure to efficiently manage your fleet is rising. Current and historic insights help you plan optimal routes that reflect your fleet’s needs, and adapt in real time based on traffic and other conditions. With visibility across the fleet, you can better understand driver locations, ETAs, and potential issues as they arise. This can result in fewer delays, informed drivers, and happy customers.

This is a public preview, available to businesses that directly manage or own their delivery fleet.

Keep customers informed with live progress

Help customers stay in the know from pickup to drop-off or delivery with Trip & Order Progress. Show real-time route progress, ETA, and traffic conditions, so they know exactly where their driver is, when their food will arrive, or when they’ll get to their destination. This means more satisfied customers and fewer cancellations. Rely on Google to build, scale, and maintain this service so you can reduce development costs.

Optimize shipments as you track them from the assembly line to their final destination. Or allow users to understand asset locations and surroundings by adding geolocation to devices without the need for GPS or specialized hardware.

Rely on rich geospatial information all over the world

Whether you’re adding devices to your operations in Brazil or growing your fleet to cover all of Europe, we’ve got you covered with data for over 250 countries and territories. In remote areas or cities where reception is poor, the Geolocation API can even use information about cell towers and Wi-Fi nodes to return location information.

Enriched Transactions
Help customers better understand spending
Make confusing transaction records understandable

Transaction statements are often hard for customers to understand, using abbreviations like “ACMEHCORP” instead of merchant names like “Acme Houseware”, which can lead to increased customer support calls and expensive disputes. We clarify these transactions by providing information like the merchant’s full name and business category, a photo of the storefront, its location on a map, and full contact info.

Include hours of operation, available services, user reviews, photos of the location, and even 360-degree Street View imagery to help customers find hard-to-spot ATMs.

Sign-up
Simplify verified account sign-up
Make sign-up easier and faster

When signing up for a new account, credit card, or loan, as many as 5% of all addresses are entered incorrectly.3 Manually entered addresses can lead to lowered conversions, erroneous CRM data, and costly delivery mistakes. Autocomplete makes sign-up faster, instantly suggesting nearby addresses with just a few thumb taps and shortening checkout time.2 Static Maps displays the inputted address for visual confirmation, leading to faster sign-up, increased conversion, and higher clickthrough rates.

Fraud Detection
Detect fraud more effectively
Detect suspicious transactions as they happen

Banks continue to be top targets of hackers and thieves. With Google Maps Platform, suspicious activity like large ATM withdrawals can be detected as they happen by using device-based location services to determine the opted-in customer’s location. Use Geocoding or Distance Matrix to ensure the device location is within a close distance from where the transaction happens. This signal can help detect fraudulent transactions before money is released.

70% decrease in fraudulent transactions by using geospatial data to verify customers' identities1
45% decrease in fraudulent account setups by using geospatial data to verify customers’ identities1
Recognize suspicious spending patterns

Fraud can also be characterized by suspicious geographical distances. Google Maps Platform can help recognize suspect transaction patterns, with Distance Matrix enabling the bank to get a sense of where a series of transactions occurs in relation to one another. If a single customer makes consecutive credit card purchases across a distance that doesn’t seem to match the time between them — say, transactions in London and Paris, 10 minutes apart — this can serve as a powerful fraud signal.

Neighborhood Discovery
Customize maps with local knowledge
Bring locations to life with real-world imagery

As the real estate experience shifts to online, the quality and variety of imagery is emerging as a critical feature for buyers and renters.

Easily answer important neighborhood questions

Your customers know they aren’t just choosing a property, but the next chapter of their lives. Layered, dynamic maps with your own data help answer important questions like school district boundaries, natural disaster risks, property valuations, and so much more. With industry optimized map styles, customers get the Google Maps experience they already know, with speed and responsiveness built in.

Determine proximity to the places that matter most

People often decide where to buy or rent based on proximity to important places like schools, parks, and favorite amenities. Google Maps Platform helps visualize these local highlights with ratings, reviews, and routes.

Keep your business locations automatically updated

Customers searching online for places nearby are showing interest in visiting in-person. Make this process easier for them by importing business details from your Google Business Profile for each of your locations into your store locator. Changes in business details on your Business Profile–including hours, contact information, photos, service options, and more–will be reflected in your store locator. You can even enable appointment bookings by embedding Reserve with Google capabilities. These store locator integrations offer customers peace of mind that they have the latest information when searching for your stores.
