Connect Google
Get a Google Places API key so CamoJet can find real local businesses and pull their details.
CamoJet uses the Google Places API to search for businesses by niche and location — "plumbers in Miami" — and to pull each one's name, address, phone, rating, review count, and current website, if it has one.
Get a key
- Open the Google Cloud console and create a project, or pick an existing one.
- Go to APIs & Services → Library, search for Places API (New), and enable it. This is a separate product from the older "Places API" — enabling the wrong one is the most common way to get stuck here, so double-check the name before you click Enable.
- Go to APIs & Services → Credentials → Create credentials → API key.
- Restrict the new key to the Places API (New), so it's useless to anyone if it ever leaks.
Paste it into CamoJet
In CamoJet, go to Settings → Integrations → Google business data, paste the key in, and click Save. Then click Test connection — CamoJet runs a small real search against Google and tells you within a couple of seconds whether the key was accepted.
What it costs, and the 60-business cap
CamoJet requests one fixed set of fields for every business — name, address, phone, rating, reviews, hours, photos — rather than pulling everything Google offers, so the cost per business stays small and predictable. You pay Google directly at their published rate; CamoJet doesn't add a markup.
One campaign is capped at 60 businesses per search. That's not a CamoJet limit — it's Google's own cap on a single Places search, returned as three pages of twenty.
Your Google Places key is encrypted before it's stored and never leaves the server — CamoJet only uses it to call Google's API on your behalf.
