Never would i have known that there’s another of world of fun, joy and fulfillment found through helping other people to maximize their travel experiences and local businesses improve their visibility and sales. That’s how awesome & what Google local guide program means to me.
My Google local guide experience has been wonderful and amazing even though I started out few years ago not knowing exactly what this was about because i had only dropped a review for a furniture store owner who requested a kind review after sales… and little did i know that my little action/review would lead to this world of goodness. I’ve had to write other reviews and intentionally added places e.g the second storey building in Nigeria, built in 1842 which is historic and is supposed to be a hub of tourists but seem so obscure due to the management, but i approached them and told them about Google map and how it could help improve and attract tourists, they were excited and i added it to google map, (still waiting for Google’s approval though) and the most remarkable thing about this place is that, it is where late Bishop Ajayi Crowther translated the English Holy Bible to Yoruba language.
These seemingly little things and responses is helping to change and shape the world!
Imagine the views I’ve had and how many people these reviews had helped. I took the screenshot below from my google map welcome page
I’m also very happy to have help the local business Simply Toosh to improve sales via photos, reviews etc.
I’ll really love to meet other local guides to connect, share and learn more ways to help & connect people.
