 * I am trying to setup Business Reviews to show Google reviews. I added my API 
   key and verified it is correct and inserted my place ID and verified it is correct.
   I am still getting an error: The requested is missing an API key. Or, the key
   parameter is invalid.
 * What could be causing the issiue?

 * Hi [@tonyohe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyohe/) ,
   Sorry to hear that.
 * We tested it on our end, and everything works correctly with our own API key.
   Please check the demo here: [https://d.pr/v/RzraZa](https://d.pr/v/RzraZa).
 * Please double-check to ensure your API key isn’t restricted and billing is active
   for your account. You can try deleting the current key and generating a new one
   by following this: [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/get-api-key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/get-api-key).
   You can check our doc as well, [https://essential-addons.com/docs/ea-business-reviews/](https://essential-addons.com/docs/ea-business-reviews/)
 * Looking forward to hearing back from you!
