Hi @Hemachandru ,

Thank you for reaching out!

The Local Guides program is constantly evolving and perks may be offered from time to time. To maximize your chances of being eligible for a future perk opportunity, continue to add high quality contributions to Google Maps. Please also be sure that your email preferences have perks emails enabled by visiting your Local Guides settings.

Keep in mind, Local Guides is a voluntary program and many people participate in it because they want to be able to help others via the Google Maps platform. You can read more - “Why be a Local Guide?”

PS: I’m moving your post to the How-tos section, because Idea exchange is a place on Connect for Local Guides to share their feedback and ideas with our team to tell us about a way to improve the Local Guides program.

To learn more about the Idea Exchange, you can read this article How do I use the Idea Exchange?

Hello

I understand your distress.

The moderator has given some tips already.

Still, I wish adding few more points.

  1. Out of 94 reviews, only 56 are public. Have you examined the reasons why the balance 38 are private now? 40 % is a huge quantum.

I suggest going through this link & remove the non-conforming content…https://support.google.com/contributionpolicy/answer/7422880?hl=en.

  1. Again, 249 likes in mere 3912 view! That amounts to sixty-three per thousand views!

When I studied profiles of several top contributors, I noted that the quantum rarely exceeds one per thousand views.

  1. Contributing same or similar looking pics, selfies & group photos, & the ones captured at night is a big no-no. You need reviewing all in the light of the following recommendations.

Trust, the cleanup of all these abnormalities would help in increasing the chances of getting offers for perks.

It’s been very discouraging and demotivating that the organisation of Google local guide…I am a level 6 local guide and I almost reached level 7 but yet I not received my google local guide shocks…but my friend who is having less contribution and preaks has recently got the shocks…I don’t know what to expect…i hope that I will soon get a positive mail for it…

Hi @Hemachandru

My personal perk is a good navigation system, an email address and a whole set of productivity online programs for free.

What I mean is that we don’t contribute for perks.

Perks are offered to Local Guides from time to time as a thank you for contributing great content on Google Maps. You may receive a perk because you’ve consistently shared high-quality contributions, reached a certain level, or often review a category related to a perk. Perks may be offered to Local Guides in particular regions. To see where you are signed up for Local Guides, please visit your Local Guides settings.

This and more information can be found on Question about a Local Guides perk email? Read this first

Also please note that I have merged your two post with the same content

Hello @Hemachandru

I remember you posted the same query vide this:

https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Local-guide-Prove-me-wrong/td-p/2526769

On that, Google moderator explained in detail how the offer for perk works. Trust, you must have taken actions on that.

Also, in reply, I mentioned that many of your reviews & photos are now private. Have you identified the objectionable content in your contributions? Though that may not affect eligibility for perks, nevertheless, that’s not a good sign.

Thanks for remembering the old post, @C_T

@Hemachandru , as you got some good replies already on your previous post, I am merging your new post in there, as it is exactly related to the same subject.

Please read again the answer your already received by @C_T and @Petra_M

Continuing to contribute with great contents is one of the conditions for receiving perks

Can you tell me which objectionable content I have posted…in my knowledge I didn’t post any thing false…
