Geocoding addresses that already have been geocoded previously

Question

I have a dataset that comes in every month and needs to be geocoded. Usually 70-80% of it is the same addresses with the rest being additions or changes. Is there a good workflow to avoid not using credits? It’s a big waste of credits to keep geocoding these!

@jzcgis There are three different tutorials available for building locators with the Create Locator tool.

I am much more familiar with ArcMap based address locators, but hopefully this can help you to build an address locator in Pro and avoid having to worry about using credits.

I never even thought of this. What’s a good documentation to start?
