Knowing your way around both platforms and having some JavaScript skills are key for a smooth process.

Step 2: Enable the Necessary APIs

  1. In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to APIs & Services > Library.

  1. Drag and drop a Custom HTML element from the components panel into your page layout.
  2. Click on the Custom HTML element to open the HTML editor.

Step 5: Insert Google Maps Script

  1. Insert this script for Google Maps into the HTML editor, swapping out YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you got from Google Cloud Console:

    ```html

    \`\`\`

Step 6: Adjust the Map Settings

  1. Change the center coordinates { lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644 } to wherever you want the map to start.
  2. Adjust the zoom level to fit your needs.

Step 7: Publish and Test

  1. Save your changes.
