When a business is hard to find, customers have to ask for directions and arrive frustrated.

A simple way to talk about exact locations

what3words makes it easy to say where a specific entrance is. The global addressing system has given every 3m square a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. Businesses can use a what3words addresses to complement their street addresses and indicate the exact 3m square for their entrance.

When a what3words address is displayed on a contact page or on social media, customers can enter it into the free what3words app or directly into Kakao Map and navigate there easily.
