❓ Why do I need a Google Maps API key for WordPress?
Google Maps Platform requires an API key to display maps on your website and enable map-related services.
❓ Which APIs should I enable?
For most websites, you'll need the Maps JavaScript API and the Geocoding API to display maps and convert addresses into map locations.
❓ Should I restrict my API key?
Yes. Restricting the API key with HTTP referrer (website) restrictions prevents unauthorized use and is recommended for every production website.
❓ Can I use Google Maps without custom code?
Yes. After adding your API key to JetElements, the Advanced Map widget lets you place and customize Google Maps directly in Elementor.
