Dear @user_not_found ,

Welcome to Local Guides Connect, the official website for Google Local Guides.

Your inquiry with regards to your businesses can be resolved by joining the free Google My Business program which is a free program to manage your online business data across Google Search and Google Maps, etc.

https://www.google.com/business/

Once you signed up with Google My Business (GMB), you can manage your locations without the need to get the “Applied” like a regular Google Maps Edit. You shall need to verify your business though, but this will all be obvious once you sign up for GMB.

I noticed that you have already reached Local Guides Level 5, which is great. However, your screen-name and image suggest that these are related to your business(es). As per the official Google Local Guides Program rules:

Organisations, brands and businesses are not eligible for the Programme. If you offer services for hire (such as marketing yourself as a Street View trusted provider), you are not allowed to bundle such services with your Local Guide membership.

Best of luck!

Hi, @user_not_found

In addition to the useful indication given by @JeroenM , I would like to add some note.

I agree that your profile seems to be deeply related to all the business where you contributed, including the answers where you reply “as a business”.

You should exit from the local guide program, as you are not contributing as a local guide, and delete all the reviews, as it is against the rules to review your own business.

Claiming your businesses, fixing the names, that appears not to be business names, seems in my opinion the best option

Hello @user_not_found ,

Please be advised that I marked @JeroenM 's reply as the solution to your question.

Please follow @ErmesT 's advice to exit the program as participating in the program as brand, organisation, or business, and not an individual is a violation of our program rules.

Please visit your account settings and follow these instructions to exit the program:

  1. Click on three line menu
  2. Click on Settings
  3. Scroll down
  4. Click on Exit Program
