When multiple entities list a meeting
A common question associated with connecting to Meeting Guide is what happens if another A.A. entity is already listing our meetings?
It’s common for A.A. websites to have overlapping service areas. This isn't an issue because Meeting Guide has a system for filtering out duplicates. When a website joins the app, the addresses of its meetings are all geocoded (run through Google) and then associated with that organization as the point of contact.
When another organization joins, any meeting locations they have that have been previously associated with another entity will be skipped, since they are already listed. If the new organization has more up-to-date information for a specific meeting location they can reach out to the app support team with the specific meeting in question and point of contact can by switched on a case by case basis.
Entities also have the option of providing data feeds to other entities. This may reduce any issues with multiple sources of data for one meeting.
