 * I see the developer has said that it won’t work without a “physical address,”
   but this shop does have a physical address registered with Google.
 * I am getting error after error, “Query Over Limit” “No Reviews Found” etc. It
   could be a user error since I this is the first I setup a Google API key, but
   following the video provided for documentation got me nowhere.
 * Any suggestions?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwont-recognize-api-key%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * You usually get that error when the API Key doesn’t have an active billing account
   tied to it. Check it here…

 * By adding a billing account to use this plugin… if we only need to embed Google
   reviews will we be billed anything by Google? I believe that is not the case 
   and this is similar to a required billing account to embed Google Maps on a website
   but cannot find a firm yes or no. Thank you!

 * No, you only get charged when downloading the reviews in the plugin. Google provides
   $200 a month in free api calls which is plenty to use the plugin.

 * Do you know how much they charge per review download? Need to supply information
   to a client so I want to be as thorough as possible. Thanks so much!

 * It only makes one call to grab the reviews. Looks like you can make around 1,000
   calls for $17.
