My name is Joseph, a Level 8 Local Guide. I live in Taipo of Hong Kong and I love traveling and cycling. Recently, I was just interviewed by TVB, a famous TV channel in HK, regarding “Sharing Bike” in Taipo.
Besides sharing different kinds of photos during travels or visits, I love to help small companies or organizations to create POI in Google Maps. As you know, they only have very limited resources, e.g. staff, budget, etc. and they don’t know much about Google Maps.
In addition, I could also assist them in how to use Google My Business to better manage their POI.
Below is one of the POI I created in 2016. By the time I created it, I’ve no idea how it would help this arts organization.

Afterwards, they have started using their POI by adding company website, opening hours. This is really good.
Recently, I was contacted via Facebook Messenger by a guy who met once in a meeting. Even though we didn’t talk much in that occasion, he asked me for help as they moved to a new place but were unable to change the new address. I asked for the new address and verified the info (making sure it’s accurate and reliable), I submitted the change. After a while, voilà! The new address was changed!
So I love to help small companies and organizations to get more exposure by using Google Maps, it could help people to locate their offices or shops, as well as to decide the ways of transportation and the estimated travel time.
