Only Select profiles are able to be Followed.

I can Follow a few local guides on Google Maps. How do I get the Follow button on my Local Guide profile in Google Maps?

And where do I find the list of cities/countries where the Follow option has been activated?
PS: I’m from Haacht in Belgium.

Hello @Soulopoulos

Here is a link to the post which explains more in detail about the follow option in Maps.

Though the feature is not yet available in many cities, that’s now active for a few more LGs from these other cities too.

The full rollout of the feature may take some more time because of the resources crunch at present.

Hi @Soulopoulos like most things Google changes are rolled out usually to small community segments at a time to see how they are received and if they need tweaking or if they survive at all.

It isn’t just by city, for example I know several people in Melbourne who can be followed, but I cannot.

I imagine like many things, the roll out likely paused with recent world events.

Please check @C_T link about the “following evolution”

Regarding your first question, the "Follow button is already present on your profile, and you have just got a follower: me :slightly_smiling_face:
