what do you guess? @TraciC @KarenVChin @izzyp223 :wink: :blush: . Much appreciated!

Thanks to Google Map Team.

Wooo hooo @pradipgadekar07 !! Congrats with your 10,000+ likes on your reviews. I don’t know if you are the only Local Guide in the world with this badge, but I would assume there are not many Local Guides with this badge.

May I ask, how many Local Guides reviews have you done in total? What is your view count on your reviews?

Cheers,

Karen

Hello @KarenVChin

I know that we earn badges on Connect for a number of likes.

I have not come across any badge on Maps for the count of likes.

Is that a new addition to the kitty of badges on Maps?

@C_T — good question! I believe the “number of likes” Google Maps badges like what @pradipgadekar07 has shown here has existed for certain milestones. I have seen a 1,000 Likes Badge for example.

Not ever Local Guide who does receive these kinds of badges, however, doesn’t necessarily post them here on Connect for us, as the Connect community to see.

Tagging @DeniGu to answer your question.

Cheers,

Karen

Congratulations on your great achievement, @pradipgadekar07 ! Wish you many more!

Thanks for the tag, @KarenVChin . You and @C_T are both right. Badges on Connect are different from badges on Google Maps. Local Guides unlock individual badges for the number of likes they receive on their posts on Connect. On Google Maps, the likes on reviews are part of the Master Reviewer badge.

What’s more, Google Maps sends emails for certain milestones Local Guides reach, which are not related to badges. They are just a celebration of the new records you achieve. This is a full list of all Google Maps badges.

Hope this helps!

@DeniGu @KarenVChin @C_T thanks for your response. Now got that this mail I got from Google map not related to new badge regarding Google maps review but I got this email because of certain milestone achieved in context of Google maps review.

Thanks for details clerification .

Hello @pradipgadekar07

Thanks for tagging me and clarifying the doubt.

Since you have broached the topic again I have some further curiosity.

Incidentally, the frequency distribution of “likes per thousand views” follows the classic exponential curve. Meaning, the likelihood of getting a sizable number of likes goes on diminishing rapidly.

Then, a high count of likes points to some assignable cause.

And the most apparent would be somebody writing truly powerful reviews which attract the followers. That’s something we observed in the case of popular TV serial GOT.

That prompts me to make a humble request. Can you share the recipe of making influential reviews in the how-tos section of Connect?
