What is the Texas A&M University GeoServices Partner Program?
The Texas A&M University GeoServices Partner Program allows registered users to re-fill their account in batch of 2,500 records as many times and as frequent as they want.
How do I join the Texas A&M University GeoServices Partner Program?
The GeoServices partner program signup consists of two simple steps.
-
Add public attribution of our services on your site and any work that is derived from the usage of our services including but not limited to products, services, reports, papers, and/or maps.
Most commonly, this means that you will add a link to our website from yours. Anything that seems sensible is usually fine.
One example: Geo-stuff provided by Texas A&M University GeoServices, which in code looks like:
<a href="https://geoservices.tamu.edu">
Geo-stuff provided by Texas A&M University GeoServices
</a>

We want to use your services internally, can we place a link on our intranet or citation on maps used internally?
Unfortunately citations or links visible to only internal operations do not meet the objective of the partners program. To utilize our partners program any link or citation
must be visible to the public in some fashion.
What happens after I submit my application
As soon as you submit the partner application form, you will automatically be granted an additional allocation of credits while we verify your information.
After we receive your application, we will review your account to verify the information you provided about who you are, who your organization is, and what you are using the service for.
We may need to contact you, so please ensure that your contact information
is complete, correct, and up-to-date.
If everything checks out, usually meaning that we can find a link from your site to ours, we will approve your partner status and you can begin adding credits to your account as many times as you want without having to contact us.
How long does it take to review my partnership application?
We can usually turn around partnership applications within a few minutes of them being submitted.
Will my organization be listed as a partner on the TAMU GeoServices website?
We have literally thousands of users who have signed up as partners. This means that unfortunately, we cannot list everyone. If your organization is not currently listed but would like to be, please just contact us
I have been approved as a partner, may I now have unlimited credits please?
Unfortunately, this is not how our partner program works.
When people need to geocode very very large data sets as part of their core business, we typically ask that they make a purchase.
We use this method to ensure that all of our free users get the same level of service, without one user killing the free service to the detriment of all others.
We have limited resources for these services and need to recover the costs of support, maintenance, etc. in some fashion.
Still have questions?
Feel free to contact us and one of our friendly support staff will assist you.
