 * Hi,
 * I’m getting the following error:
 * > – Something is wrong with this Google API Key. Error from Google…
   > Array ( [error_message] => You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project
   > at [https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable](https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable)
   > Learn more at [https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started](https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started)[
   > predictions] => Array ( ) [status] => REQUEST_DENIED )
 * I have already set a billing account to the API project within GCP and also already
   ran a test with the below link with the status ‘OK’.
 * [https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID&key=YOUR_API_KEY](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID&key=YOUR_API_KEY)
 * I have also already deactivated and then reactivated the plugin and have already
   tried everything else that I could find or think of.
 * Could you help please?
 * Thanks,
    Ashish

 * When you use this link with your values it should come back with json code with
   reviews at the bottom. Is that what you see?
