Using the Google Maps element: Your account or the client's?

At a glance

When using the GoogleMaps element, would you use your own account to get the API key or use the clients account?

I usually have them set up an API key so that it won't bill to my account depending on their traffic volume in the future. But I put mine in during the development phase so they can see what it will look like.

Yeah also I stopped using the API integration. Its a bit too complex and I end up just using the simple embed google provides which seems to work fine for most.

where do I find that embed?

so cool! Thank you

is there a simple way like this to embed google review on a website?

I would want new review to update when they are added.

I'm not aware of one. Generally for reviews I want to be hand picking them for a website anyway, rather than having any review show up on a website automatically.

I hear what you mean. I will bring that point up to my client. Is there a way to embed specific reviews?

naw, I usually just use the webflow CMS and copy/paste them in manually. 5-10 rotated out every 2-3 months seems fine for most businesses. The purpose of a review is for social proof and credibility - not to be an exhausted list of reviews. You could always just show 2 or 4 or whatever and link to the google reviews page directly from that section.

these are just my opinions and processes for working with clients and reviews, take them as such. πŸ˜‰

100%. My client wants a full page of reviews, so this is a little different
