Make Maps Spam-Free: Join the 20th Anniversary Movement!

Celebrating 20 years of Google Maps! :tada: It’s amazing to see how this incredible tool has changed how we explore the world, from finding the fastest route to uncovering hidden gems. A huge thank you to our amazing Local Guides—your contributions have been essential to making Google Maps what it is today. To mark this milestone, we’re (Me and @NareshDarji) launching a special mission just for you. Get ready to showcase your passion and help us improve Google Maps! :world_map:

What is a Spam-Free Google Map?

A spam-free Google Map provides accurate, relevant, and reliable information about places and locations. It’s free from misleading, irrelevant, or fake content that can confuse users or misrepresent businesses and locations. Our mission is to report irrelevant content, such as:

  • :crazy_face: Personal photos & selfies (Let’s keep Maps professional!)
  • :video_camera: Irrelevant videos (Show us the place, not your cat!)
  • :lying_face: Fake reviews (Be honest, be helpful!)
  • :office: Wrong business info (Help businesses shine with accurate details!)

How to report spam?

Here are 5 Ways to Make Maps Spam-Free:

Get Involved:

  • :couple: Host Meet-Ups: Organize or join local meet-ups to spread awareness and take collective action.
  • :man_walking: Solo Walks: Prefer going solo? No problem! Walk around your neighborhood and help keep it clean and accurate.
  • Tip: you can directly search your city on maps and go to photos and reviews if those are irrelevant then report it

Together, we can create a better, spam-free map for everyone! :earth_africa::muscle:

Let’s start today and make a difference, one report at a time. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey!

I still remember this when we all did it last time. 100 meet-ups in a day, I think, a record in itself.
But the topic is very important and is an ongoing process for every local guide to follow. Since then, it had become my routine to remove spam from Google Maps.

Much appreciated for touching on the important topic again, @Tejal ben!

Cheers!

नमस्कार
@Tejal

अच्छा उपक्रम है जिसकी @RajuRoyal ने शुरुवात कि कुछ सालों पहले, और हम सभी ने उसमें दिल से भाग लिया था, और मै आज भी गूगल मैप को स्पैम फ्री करने में लगातार योगदान दे रही हूं ।
आपके इस महत्वपूर्ण उपक्रम को दोबारा शुरुआत करने के लिए शुक्रिया ।

You are welcome @NareshDarji . Looking forward for it.

Yes, for sure, I am on it.
