Use the Place Overview component
The Place Overview component displays detailed information about millions of businesses, including opening hours, star reviews, and photos, plus directions and other actions in a premade UI in 5 sizes and formats. It is part of the Extended Component Library, from Google Maps Platform, a set of web components that helps developers build better maps and location features faster.
Use the Place Overview configurator to create embeddable code for a custom Place Overview component, then export it to be used with popular frameworks like React and Angular or no framework at all.
