Address Auto-Complete is now free and unlimited in all GHL Customer Care accounts. This feature makes it easier for your leads and customers to enter accurate address details in forms and surveys. As users type into the Address field, real-time suggestions appear and automatically fill in the Street, City, State, Country, and Postal Code fields — ensuring fast, accurate, and consistent data collection.
