company name as Google account name

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

Hi guys!

I am using my company name as my Google account name

So, when I post a review on Google Map, people might see my company name on my profile.

I wonder if Google allow to use company name for my profile? anyone knows about the rule?

If Google doesn’t allow, I should change to other names.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous_40e0c17823bad3658db6bb46e9434dc0

Thanks for asking.

You can have a Google account named after your company, but being a Local Guide under a company name is a no go!

According to the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions
Organizations, brands, and businesses are not eligible for the Program. So we should never mix commercial interests with those of being an independent/volunteer Local Guide.

Cheers
