Verified steps
Use the Geocoding API with components filtering (country) for precision
Cache results — geocoding the same address twice is wasted spend (caching geocodes is permitted with restrictions)
Set a daily quota cap in Cloud Console as a billing fuse
For autocomplete UIs use Places Autocomplete with session tokens (per-session billing, much cheaper)
Known gotchas
Autocomplete WITHOUT session tokens bills per keystroke request — the #1 surprise Maps bill
API key without referrer/IP restrictions WILL be scraped and abused from client code
ZERO_RESULTS is a valid response, not an error — handle it; OVER_QUERY_LIMIT needs backoff
