New: Use hashtags in your reviews on Maps

Hi, I am excited to start using this hashtag #wheelchairaccessible to help the people with disabilities find the places they can go to with the minimal of fuss. Wheelchair accessible areas and parking are not so many as they should be. Creating awareness of those that are there is something that I am really looking forward to.

Another interseting hashtag that I think I will definitely be looking for a place around that does it is the #audiomenu. I live in Nairobi and I have never been to a plcae that offers such a service to people with visual impairemants.I will definitely be looking for one this December and in the restaurants that I’ll be visiting around my Country from now on I’ll be suggesting the audio menu.

Waoh, this is a great news

wow… I didn’t know before. Now I will use hashtags definitely.

I would like to use #wheelchairaccessible most.

Thank you

This is really interesting! I haven’t actually noticed hashtags being used in reviews yet, but I will definitely start looking out for them, and use some as well!

Awesome! This feature will be useful when I decide to use hashtags!

This is Great. As a gmap user perspective, things made easier for them

This one was awaited for a long time.

but finally we can use teh #hashtags

I love this feature

Hey, @AriMar I’m not the biggest fan of hashtags but I’ve been using them with this program as I can see they are useful.

A question, #vegetarian #vegan for restaurants makes sense, but I do a lot for dogs and started with kid friendly places. How should it be structured to make sense? #dogfriendly #kidfriendly

Could you you post an official list of tags for the do good programs? Hey another post right ;p.

Have a funky day

Thanks @AriMar for this cool addition. I will add #beach #park #hiking #outdoors to some of my reviews. Will this be rolled out to Google Maps for desktop too ?

Wonderfully described guidelines @AriMar . Thank you. Will keep this in mind for future use. And from time to time, shall try to cover the work done previously.

All local guides should explore new places, #letsguide will be helpful to the people in our city.

Be precise from the point of view of people and not of ours.

  1. :man_dancing: Google has been working :hammer_and_pick:

@AriMar is it a helpful hashtag to add the category of the place, for example Tea wholesaler etc? I think no…

I tried to add hashtags to a review but they have not come live. Place name is Bukhari Tea store. Copy of what I wrote is as follows:

Variety of tea leaves and other related products. Green and black tea leaves. Other varied items like syrups etc also there. Not wheelchair accessible or parking. #teawholesaler, #nowheelchairaccessibly, #nowheelchairparking.

Thanks for the advice! #LetsGuide #TomfromHungary

Great! I’ve just tried it on some of my reviews… Let’s see if it helps!

I like this happy news #iloveLGsProgram

great article about hastag, thanks.

Dear @AriMar ,

Thanks for this new feature.

I come across lots of delicious Burmese food stalls/ shops on streets also served to the buyers /eaters with smaller seats (stools of just 9 inch height) yet hygienic in many parts of the downtown of Yangon. These are the cheapest ones that challenge the big branded Restaurants in quality and price.

The spices in the food items including vegetarian are such that one do not get a stomach upset.

I have my own experiences of buying or eating food on these Street shops.

I would like to recommend them (cheap & hygienic) to the Google search visitors.

I have the photos in my Camera which I will post from desktop computer.

Can I hashtag these under Restaurants or otherwise
