Some of Monogram features connect to external services. If you want to use Google Maps on your site, you'll need to add the right API keys here.

## Getting Started

Go to **Appearance > Customize > API Keys** in your WordPress dashboard.

## Google Maps API Key

If you're using the **Google Map widget** in Elementor, you'll need a Google Maps API key to display maps on your site.

### How to get your key:

1. Visit the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
2. Create a new project (or select an existing one)
3. Go to **APIs & Services > Library** and enable the **Maps JavaScript API**
4. Go to **APIs & Services > Credentials** and click **Create Credentials > API Key**
5. Copy your new API key

### Where to paste it:

Back in the Customizer under **API Keys**, paste your key into the **Google Maps API Key** field.

Google offers a generous free tier for Maps usage, so most small-to-medium websites won't incur any charges.
