Hi @yogeshgole and welcome to Connect!

There aren’t specific perks for each and every Level. Local Guides enjoy early access to new product features and rewards from Google partners and these awards are available worldwide or by region. There is no financial compensation from being a Local Guide as this is an at-will program that Local Guides are free to contribute to at their own leisure.

Local Guides who have opted in to receive benefit emails will be updated with any new rewards and we encourage Local Guides to check their email-settings and update/monitor their email preferences as well as their spam or promotions folder.

Stay tuned for more features and rewards to pop up throughout the year! :slight_smile: In the meantime, you can learn more about points, levels and rewards here.

P.S.: Before posting on Connect, I kindly request you to search the community first, as this topic may be already already discussed. Also, I wanted to let you know that I’ve relabeled your post and it now appears in the How-tos section, as it fits better there.

Hello @aljo

Welcome to Local Guides Connect.

I want to answer your question, that Local Guides is a voluntary program and many people participate in it because they want to be able to help others via the Google Maps platform.
Sometimes, there are perks available and it will vary from time to time and from region to region. It depends on who the Google partners are. There may also be special and/or early access to Google features. You can read more about it on the official support page found Here.
You can also read a bit about this on this page “Why be a Local Guide?”

And as you are new here, you can Introduce yourself November 2019 here.

Wishing you best of luck :v:

Shukriya :pray:

Hi,

I am a Google Maps reviewer from so many years and earlier i used to get perks very often but now its been so many days that i have not received anything. I understand that it is a voluntary thing but i have seen that so many people are getting stuff but i am not. I am one of the top reviewers in Toronto and i post regularly so i think that old and regular reviewers should also get something. And by something i don’t mean any monetary thing but any kind of recognition will work.

Thanks

Ankit

Hello @AnkitSaini04 and thank you for reaching out to us.

Regarding gifts, Local Guides is a program with no financial reward. However, once a while, there could be small perks provided to help motivate contributors. Sometimes perks could be announced in Local Guide Connect, so stay active here. And sometimes announced through email.

To set email notification for perks, contributions, product updates etc, head to: https://maps.google.com/localguides/home/settings.

Last, but not least, to keep things organized here on Connect, I am going to merge your post to Get the perks? article. Feel free to check it out.

Hi @Mrkumar98 ,

Thanks for reaching out.

Perks are offered to Local Guides from time to time as a thank you for contributing great content on Google Maps. You may receive a perk because you’ve consistently shared high-quality contributions, reached a certain level, or often review a category related to a perk. Perks may be offered to Local Guides in particular regions. You can learn more about the program and benefits in the Help Desk and Question about a Local Guides perk email? Read this first.

P.S.: Sometimes, posts must be moved from one topic to another or from one discussion to another, to help keep Connect organized, in that regard I moved your post to the this thread where it fits better.

Since I really didn’t visit the Connect site in the past…because I couldn’t do it on my old van and I don’t have my desktop computer any longer, I honestly didn’t know that they were any perks. that’s nice to know ,but it’s definitely not the reason I continue to post anything. However,I am intrigued ,so if anybody could explain that to me that would be cool. Thanks in advance !

Hello @Monterenee1

Offers for perk are not any way related to subscribing to the connect site.

However, you must opt for receiving offers for the perks through https://maps.google.com/localguides/home/settings

Further, you should be a consistent contributor.

These are the only two prerequisites for that.

Hi @Monterenee1 - for perks, please take a look at the link to the help page below:

Get recognized

Keep in mind that the program keeps evolving that you might see the perks change. For most of the time, the perks that are available are based on the location you specified on your Local Guides profile setting, so make sure you enter the correct location there. Make sure to also mark the preferences on the email setting like what @C_T mentioned above.

Hello @Monterenee1 ,

In addition to the useful replies you’ve already got, I would like to let you know that I am merging your post to a thread where this has been discussed.

Thank you.
