Your new google map is now working again! Before you go, I’d like to ask you a very quick favour...
I wrote this guide to fixing your googlemaps widget because I realised that there’d be loads of people out there who’d appreciate the help. Unfortunately, I’ve shot myself in the foot because my bounce rate has gone through the roof and google uses this metric as a ranking factor. In layman's terms, I’m not ranking as well as I used to on google because they can see people arriving on this page and leaving the website without viewing any other pages.. from this they are concluding that my website is not engaging, when the reality is that this page has solved your problem!
To help me solve my problem please go back to the top of this page and have a quick browse around my website - just a couple of pages will do the trick. Many thanks and enjoy your new googlemaps widgets.
