Now that you've enabled your project, you can use the Google My Business API to add markers and labels to a map based on specific business information. Here's an example of how to do it:

Get a list of businesses using the `places.get places()` method.

{{places}}
      {
        "name": "Emergency Plumber",
        "address": [
          {"long": -37.8149, "lat": 144.9506}
        ],
        "rating": 4.5,
        "reviewCount": 100
      }

You can then use the `markers.add` method to add markers to your map:
