How would you populate missing attributes (lat/long, websites) from entities?

Not everybody has websites so that's off the priority list. I'm in a developing country

Our percentage recorded entities and their lat/long are depressing.

It would be nice to get this wish list of attributes out the way but I'm settling for lat/long first.

I thought about paying Amazon Turk people to call the entities that don't have lat/long (≈30,000 entities in the database).

" " to manually search the addresses, manually or by a script, to return the long/lats since I don't know how to do it myself.

I'm learning Python right now is there a way I can cross check this database and use Google Map's API to get the lat/long?
