Hello @sarlak
Welcome back to connect after some years of pause.
Please could you be more specific with your issue. You said your account is being troubled by Google in what area of your contributions. If we know what the problem is,some active local guides here might be able to help you out.
- Points are reducing?
- Edits not approved etc.
Please state clearly. Thank you

If you view my google map profile, you will see that I have several edits, facts check, answers
But their effect is not shown in my local guide level
And if I edit or post a reply, it won’t affect my local guide level

Hi @sarlak
Being a local guide is incompatible with being a digital marketing specialist.
You are uploading logos as if you represent a business, you are reviewing estate agents as if you are not a private individual. You are uploading 3D models of building complexes that consumers have no access to.
The photos you uploaded to https://maps.app.goo.gl/EPFSvRpDTDAFipSr9 are likely not yours.
You are trying to create new places that should probably not be on Google Maps with commercial photos and drone photos.
According to the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions
Organizations, brands, and businesses are not eligible for the Program. So we should never mix commercial interests with those of being an independent/volunteer Local Guide.
I think your violations can explain why your level is lower than you expected.
I suggest you delete all contributions that are remotely or directly associated with your work/business. This will help protect your local guides account.
Feel free to say I’m wrong. Hopefully I am.
All the best
Morten
