Geocode Addresses
The Choose an Address Locator dialog box will open.
Choose the Address Locator you want to use. If you do not have a custom Address Locator, or if you are not sure which Address Locator to use, for geocoding addresses in the U.S., click on 10.0 US Streets Geocode Service (ArcGIS Online). The Geocode Addresses: Locator dialog box will appear.
Check the Address Input Fields to be sure that they match with the fields in the data you are using. Under Output: Output shapefile or feature class, use the browse button to navigate to the file location or personal geodatabase you want the geocoding result to be saved to.
When all fields have been checked for accuracy, click OK. The Geocoding Addresses... dialog box will appear and show the progress and results of the geocoding session.
Often there will be addresses that are left Tied or Unmatched.

- Tied addresses have more than one possible candidate for a match in different locations
- Unmatched addresses don't show any possible candidate for an address match in the Locator service.
- For more on geocoding a table of addresses, see the document by ESRI, Desktop 10.0 Help - About geocoding a table of addresses.
Tied and Unmatched addresses can be reconciled by hand.
