There's some great solutions available these days! Here's what I suggest. 1. Since you already have a Google Maps API key, you can use this plugin (so long as you are on QGIS 3.18!) https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/google_maps_geocoder/ . It adds a new processing batch geocoder using Google maps, and since it's a Processing algorithm it's very flexible to run (and can be used in models, from the command line, etc). It also adds a new locator bar shortcut for directly navigating to places on the map using Google maps locations. 2. If you download a nightly pre-release of QGIS 3.20, then there's an out-of-the-box "Batch Nominatim geocoder" tool in the Processing toolbox which geocodes using OpenStreetMap data. This is super convenient, because you don't need ANY api keys or plugins... it's just ready to go! The one catch is that it's rate-limited, so will be slow if you need to geocode a lot of results. All in all, the QGIS geocoding situation is MUCH improved since previous years! Hope that helps!
