Hello local guides
As it is said every drop makes an ocean same goes with our contributions.
A contribution from local guides help small businesses in multiple ways
Last year this small business called K doggie day care converted their home into a commercial space and made a day care for dogs
With the help of reviews and ratings more and more people were able to find them to find a safe place for their pets especially the COVID infected people or the one who worked for essential services and had to stay at workplace for 15 days during the lockdown
As they reached more and more customers and they needed more space, also the owner being a dog lover himself thought of expansion where they got in touch with another small business owner who had just started with clothes and accessories manufacturing for pets
They came up with their own brand Pawkies and the new space is started with that name.
They found a bigger spaces and turned their day care into dog cafe, dog fashion suppliers and cuddle cafe.
I visited them quite often when I want to spend time with furry friends, being a dog lover it is my go to place in times like this when it is not possible to go anywhere else.
They keep the space very clean and tidy every Thursday they do the cleaning, their staff is properly masked and very friendly.
The best part is we can also celebrate special occasions with cute furry babies.
This really shows how our reviews make a difference

Wonderful post @FalguniP
Day care centers were really helpful for me when I was having Covid duty for one month long and couldn’t come back home. This is an important topic that we should talk more. Supporting them much as we can through Google maps is the best we can. Thank you for sharing this

Wow personally I would like to thank you @FalguniP how a simple gesture can impact and make so much differences in a small business.
A short story from me, in my early days of being active in Google Map I took a photo of a small business where he operate from a garage and his back yard. Two weeks ago (4 years now) I passed this certain area, hubby told me and pointed to a big beautiful building he said look at that business they have a new building now you added his business into Google and you took the photo as well. I did not recognize it at all
I bet you feel good as I am and thank you to you, Falguni

Thank you for your kind words.
I also noticed this with me, I usually rely on reviews of others when I search for a new place.
@Dr_AlwyPaul can’t agree more!
Food delivery, groceries delivery, day care, pet care were some of the most important things which need to added on maps and review the same.
These maybe very common places but play very important role.
