April 2026 – reverse this step – enable APIs first, and adjust with the API key settings. I’ve updated this section within the written documentation

Notes:

• Refer to Google Maps Platform Pricing if you’re not sure what API needs a quota or not. If it says 10,000 then the quota should be 322. If it says Unlimited, then a quota isn’t needed.
• Depending on your physical location, you may not be able to get past the 2-factor authentication. When you click the Try another way button, the option “Get a verification code from the Google Authenticator app“, grab the code from the admin@freshysites.com BW entry.
• If you already added ReCAPTCHA v3, the project has already been created, so you can skip that step.
• When domain restricting google API’s the domain should be entered as: somewebsite.com/* rather than https://somewebsite.com/*, do not include https://
