⚠️ IMPORTANT: A Google Places API key is required to display Google Reviews. Google provides a free tier (1,000 requests/month), which is sufficient for most sites. Step-by-step setup guide is available at <a href="https://www.el-plan.com/kuchikomi-wall/api-guide/" rel="nofollow ugc">el-plan.com/kuchikomi-wall/api-guide/</a>. Manual testimonials and X (Twitter) embeds work without any API key.
