Local Guide Level 7 – Haven’t Received Any Gifts

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a Level 7 Local Guide and have been contributing to Google Maps. I’ve noticed that some fellow Local Guides at levels lower than mine have received gifts or rewards from Google, while I haven’t received any yet.

I understand that gifts are not guaranteed, but I was curious to know:

  • Is there any specific criteria or selection process for receiving gifts from Google?

  • Are Level 7 contributors eligible for these rewards?

I’d really appreciate any insights or official clarification on this. Thank you!

Dear @amalmohammedc ,
I understand you might be expecting some gifts from Google after reaching certain level contributing to google maps but it’s really important that we understand it’s a completely volunteering work and the random gifts some of us receive sometimes isn’t what motivates us to contribute. we contribute because we know the pictures we posted, the information we update, the roads we add would help google users choose the right thing and take the right decision and that’s our reward:)

Hi @amalmohammedc

Local guide is a volunteering program, you won’t get anything for contributing on Google maps but Google will recognize you as a Local Guide for your contribution. Anyway, you will get points for your every contributions on Google Maps and you can raise up your local guides levels.

However, Google Local Guides perks depends on quality contribution on Google Maps; Google sends some perks to Local Guides for high-quality contributions. Moreover, to receive perks, you must be subscribed to emails about them and contribute regularly on Maps. Please be sure that your email preferences have perk emails enabled by visiting your Local Guides settings .

For more details please read the Question about a Local Guides reward email? Read this first.
