I have a photography hobby, and when I post some of my photos on my social media accounts, people always ask about the places in my photos. But not that much people see my piece of work. Long time ago I starter posting some of my photos and videos in my account with Google map, which is local guide service, and I started receiving much comments and likes about them, also noticed that the number of views are more than I know in my other accounts.
It is not just about the number of views, it is about how I liked being helpful with my photos, videos and comments I give to places I visit, so I started focusing on local guide trying to assist people by answering their questions.
I found out that people are more exited about the nature in my photos and videos, cous they never been to my city.
With my experience in local guide, I hope to find some improvements to it so in future we can add specific comments in specific period of time for places, for example, we might find a shop with discounts for a week so I can spread that to people about that week and the comment will disappear by the end of discounts week for that shop.
Also I hope that google will improve the rating too, by adding categories for the rating, for example, I love to see a rating of the taste of food in a restaurant separate from the sarvice’s rating and the clean’s rating, and so for other businesses.
I’m sure that we are going to see more from google in this project, and that is what we know form them.
