I am adding photos and videos to my G local guide account but points are not getting added to my profile .I can’t find any issue!!! What should I do . Help anybody …
Hi @Debdeep_sen well lets start with your Connect post, please avoid using images you’ve taken from the internet.
Copyright and plagiarism are serious. One of our Core Values is Originality. Please read How do I follow the original content guidelines on Connect?
Your own words and images are so much more powerful.
Now lets look at your Maps profile. I notice that you contribute a lot of duplicate photos and photos with people in them. These will get made private after a while and do not contribute to your total anymore. I also see a lot of sideways images which are quite low quality that would also likely get made private. There also seem to be a lot of photos shot from a distance (e.g. of an ATM from the other side of the road with vehicles and people in between) these shots aren’t useful and will get made private eventually.
For edits, you only get points after the edits are approved.

Hey @Debdeep_sen ,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Please take into consideration @PaulPavlinovich 's note - if some contribution is violating our policies, it will be made private and no points will be added to your account. I also wanted to mention that points and levels can take up to 24 hours to update. You can find all the needed information, regarding that matter, in this article. I also suggest that you have a look at the What photos should I share on Google Maps? discussion.
P.S.: I will move your post to our How-tos section, where Local Guides ask questions and express their doubts. More information on Connect’s labels can be found here. I will also redact your post to remove the photo as it doesn’t belong to you.
Hello @Debdeep_sen ,
How are you?
As @PaulPavlinovich said, please follow the direction.
With this, I want to say if you aren’t a member of West Bengal Local Guides(WBLG) then you can join.
