Big news about reviews: now they’re worth 10 points!

[HelloJess]

We have big news for Local Guides: Now, your reviews on Google Maps are worth twice as many points!

That means you’ll get 10 Local Guides points for each review you write, so you’ll reach new levels even faster. You’ll get double points for all your past reviews, too, so this update might have already brought you to a new level!

If you love writing reviews that are packed with helpful info to help people decide where to go, you might be wondering: what about bonus points for detailed reviews? Those are doubling, too. When you write a review over 200 characters, you’ll earn 10 points for the review, plus 10 bonus points for a total of 20.

We’re rolling out this feature over a few weeks. If it seems like it hasn’t taken effect for you quite yet, don’t worry – it will soon.

We hope you’re excited about this news! Let us know what you think about double points for reviews.

In my opinion, it would be better if bonus points for detailed reviews are bigger than regular reviews.

[CarolinaSoto]

that is great!!! I love to Review places i go! I read reviews with an open mind, and i am honest with my reviews! it is a bummer to read reviews of people you know are only doing it to give the business bad reputation, hence why i keep an open mind!

This is great news! Writing reviews is one of my favorite things about the program - being able to add my own personality while sharing my experiences. Thanks, @HelloJess !

[Amrendraanupam]

@HelloJess Good to hear about points but can you add some action where we can see which of our reviews are Impacting and which are not what exactly people are looking in reviews?

[Saidulkarim]

Waooo That’s an amazing News. Thank you @HelloJess for sharing with us. Great opportunity for a local guide who like to write a big review.
