Title: Google Integration Last modified: March 19, 2021 --- # Google Integration * [devonsays](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devonsays/) * (@devonsays) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-integration-3/) * I have been trying for more than a year now to integrate the browser key and server key but it just keeps failing. Google doesn’t help me, and this plugin keeps telling me to contact google. * Is there a way I can add you as an admin to the google project or something to sort it out? * Kind regards Devon Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Tijmen Smit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tijmensmit/) * (@tijmensmit) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-integration-3/#post-14208129) * What’s the error that shows up when you click on ‘show response’ on the WPSL settings page, and what shows up in the browser console ( F12 ) on the same page? * Thread Starter [devonsays](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devonsays/) * (@devonsays) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-integration-3/#post-14208182) * This is the same questions I got the last time I asked for help from the plugin. * The error: Error message: The provided API key is invalid.

Next set the [referrer](https://wpstorelocator.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/google-browser-key-2020.gif) to your domain in the domain.com/* format. * Also make sure to [enable billing](https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable?redirect=https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/usage-and-billing?dialogOnLoad%3Dbilling-enabled) for your account. This is [required](https://wpstorelocator.co/google-maps-api-pricing-changes-what-you-need-to-know/) to use Google Maps, but it comes with $200 free credit a month, which is sufficient for normal usage. * Once you have done that wait 5 – 10 minutes, and try the ‘show response’ button again. Let me know if that fixed it, or what return error message is. - This reply was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by [Tijmen Smit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tijmensmit/). * Thread Starter [devonsays](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devonsays/) * (@devonsays) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-integration-3/#post-14212252) * I reset it the browser key and I get the same error from the browser key. * The server key now gets this: There’s a problem with the provided server key. * Error message: This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key.
