2. Click and drag the map to display the location you want to show on your website, or type the location in the search bar and click "Enter" to go there automatically.

3. Click "Link" in the top-right corner of the map to release a drop-down menu.

4. Click and then right-click the code in the box labeled "Paste HTML to embed in website," then click "Copy."

5. Open the program you use to edit your website, and select the HTML code source or view.

6. Right-click wherever in the code you want to place the embedded Google map and select "Paste."
