How do I collect a client’s address in a client intake form?
Use a structured Address field rather than a plain text box.
This captures street, suburb, state, postcode, and country as separate inputs, making the data clean and usable.
In Gatheroo, the Address field is purpose-built for this and ensures client addresses are stored in a consistent, structured format.
What is the best way to capture address information from clients online?
A dedicated address field with separate inputs for each component (street, city, postcode, country) is far better than a single text area.
It reduces errors, makes data easier to export or use elsewhere, and looks more professional. Gatheroo’s Address field handles this automatically.
