Adding a Google Map to your site helps visitors find your physical location and builds trust. Limecube integrates directly with the Google Maps API, supporting interactive maps, place markers, and star ratings from your Google reviews.
Adding a Map
- 1Open the <a href="/support/kb/the-page-editor">page editor</a> and navigate to your desired page
- 2Click '+Add Element' in the page header bar
- 3Drag the Map icon to your preferred location
- 4Enter your business address in the settings panel
- 5Click 'Apply' to save
Google Maps API Setup
Before maps will display on your published site, you need to set up a Google Maps API key. Follow these steps in the Google Cloud Console.
Step-by-Step API Configuration
- 1Go to the Google Cloud Console, sign in with a Google account, and create a new project
- 2Enable billing for your project — Google Maps requires an active billing account, even if your usage stays within the free tier
- 3In the Libraries section, enable three APIs: Maps JavaScript API, Places API, and Geocoding API
- 4Go to Credentials and generate a new API key
- 5Restrict the key: set HTTP referrer restrictions to your domain (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/*) and limit API access to the three maps-related services
- 6In Limecube, go to Admin > More > Administration > Settings > API Credentials and paste your key
Always restrict your API key to your specific domain and the required APIs only. An unrestricted key can be misused, resulting in unexpected charges on your Google Cloud account.
Star Ratings
Your Google star rating can display alongside the map if you have public Google reviews. This requires a Place-based configuration (not just coordinates) and both the Maps JavaScript API and Places API enabled. The rating updates automatically as new reviews are added to your Google Business Profile.
Removing a Map
Hover over the map element and click the X icon to remove it from the page.
