I was a Google Local Guide unknowingly for many years before discovering the trusted program and the ability to monetize virtual tours while adding more value to local businesses and awareness to my city of Potiskum and the surrounding areas.
The burning desire to be recognized by Google Maps as the number 1 contributor in Potiskum became a reality in 2019, only 3 short years. Achieving this milestone didn’t come without sacrifice and neither will any of our near future successes.
In all, it’s a tremendous privilege to be a part of Google’s Local Guide and Trusted Programs. Playing an integral part in the overall digital mapping and cataloging movement with the ability to add or remove content from the most powerful mapping platform, all while having the world see all of the content I upload is beyond expression. I am truly humbled to be granted preview program privileges and being entrusted with these empowering abilities.
Thanks Google!
