How to use Google Local Guides Connect

Hello, Google Moderater.

  1. I don’t know how to use Google Local Guides Connect and How to interact with people. I posted some photographs Yesterday though. But How to connect with more people and how to use tags?

  2. HOW TO GET LOCAL GUIDES BENEFITS. ACTUALLY, I HAVE REACHED LEVEL 7 IN THE GOOGLE MAPS, SO HOW TO GET THE BENEFITS OF LOCAL GUIDES. I HAVE HEARD MANY OF MY FRIENDS GETTING GIFTS AT LEVEL 4 ONLY, THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW?

  3. How to Introduce, myself to GOOGLE LOCAL GUIDES CONNECT?

Thank you so much for taking out time for me and reading.

Have a great day.

Hi, @mrugakshinikhil Welcome to Local Guides Connect. How @SShuvo , indicated, you could learn more about Local Connects reading 14 helpful tips for using Connect. You can introduce yourself using this link: Introduce Yourself - December 2019. I’d like to suggest also this another valuable article: How do I write a post on Connect? It’s also a good idea to take a look at the Local Guides Connect Help Desk, once a lot of frequent questions are answered.

About “tags,” if you mean how to tag a person on Connect, you have to use the “@” symbol to find a person that you’d like to mention. Please don’t over tag people to get their attention. You are talking about tags in your post; it means in with topic your post will be labeled (Photography, Travel, Food & Drink,

Local Stories, Meet-ups, How-tos, and Achievements). There is also available the option to add additional tags, that will help you identify your content, like Street View, Tech updates, Things to do, Videos, etc.
About benefits or Perks, take a look at this article: Question about a Local Guides perk email? Read this first. But in short: Perks varies from time to time and depending on the region you are. The best thing to do is keeping contributing on Google Maps to maximize your chances of eligibility for future perks. Make sure to keep your email preferences activated as oriented in the article.

Hope to see more contributions from you in the future!

Hi @mrugakshinikhil .

This is Shah Imran From Bangladesh. You asked very nice questions. These things are very important to learn for a LG. Because, LGc(Local Guide Connect) is the platform which helps a lot to make the local guides mature enough so that they can contribute in a very smart way. If you feel any kind of problem then you may ask here.
