You’ll learn how to:
✓ Create a Google Cloud project for Google Maps
✓ Create a Google Maps API key
✓ Enable the Maps JavaScript API
✓ Enable the Geocoding API for text addresses
✓ Set up billing in Google Cloud
✓ Restrict the API key to your website
✓ Connect the API key to JetElements

❓Why do I need a Google Maps API key for WordPress?
A Google Maps API key connects your WordPress website to Google Maps Platform and allows the JetElements Advanced Map widget to load an interactive map.
❓Which Google Maps APIs are used in this tutorial?
The Maps JavaScript API is used to display the map on the website. The Geocoding API may be needed when you want to work with text addresses and convert them into map locations.
❓Should I restrict my Google Maps API key?
Yes. For websites, use website or HTTP referrer restrictions and limit the key to the APIs your project actually uses. This helps reduce the risk of unauthorized use.
❓Can I add Google Maps to WordPress without custom code?
Yes. After the API key is configured, you can connect it to JetElements and add the Advanced Map widget to an Elementor page without writing custom code.
