Hello community!
My name is Alona Meiller-Yamin
I live in Tel-Aviv, Israel I am level 7 local guide
- What is the most interesting thing you’ve done as a Local Guide?
Being a local guide allowed me to embrace all sides of my life and personality and be better connected both to myself, to my community and local businesses.
Firstly, I became active in the program simply because I love photography and videography. This is my most viewble 360 photo inside Museo Nacional del Prado https://goo.gl/maps/8e3y2gHrU692zbJq5
Being the owner of a Digital Marketing agency, soon enough, I realized the incredible value this feature holds for many of my customers.
It has become my strong suit for many of them. During the first meeting, I would register my customers on Google Maps and Google My Business platforms.
Combined with regular marketing, we received excellent results.
I love using my specialty to help and improve the lives of those around me. I especially love to support local small businesses in my area, such as shops or my beautician. My agency built a website for her, but soon enough, we saw that Google My Business boosted her clientele big time! https://g.co/kgs/dgV8R2 There are great photos of her works and lovely reviews from her customers.
I love to contribute my time to bringing people together and facilitating different tasks for them. I do it by managing a closed group of our neighborhood to provide useful information to parents and dog owners in the area, as well as a large group of nurses from all Israeli hospitals (since it’s used to be my profession back in the days).
What does the Local Guides program mean to you?
Being a part of Local Guide creates a special connection between me as an individual and a part of my community of women, business-owners, mother, Israeli, Jewish, resident of Tel Aviv area, and more. The activity on this platform helped me to form meaningful connections with my surroundings and bring me incredible satisfaction by being useful and contributing in any way I can.
- More about me:
Living a multi-dimensional life, I always pursued any area of life that excited me, including sports, religion, various professions, traveling, business development, and, last but not least – a mom and a spouse. I love that Google Local Guides allows me to mobilize any aspect of my day-to-day life!
6: Fun Fact about me:
I used to roller-blade – there was a time this was my primary means of transportation!
