Hello @Saurabhthebest , I am afraid you might get into trouble for copyright violation as you are using the official logos of Google Maps and Local Guides in your video. Perhaps you need to reconsider that again.

Violating the Local Guides rules about copyright, I definitely agree with @JanVanHaver , is not the best way to become a successful Local Guide.

In addition I would like to say that “contributing for points” is also not the best way to become a successful Local Guide, because it can end to bad contributions, like selfies, bad “out of focus” photos, irrelevant and near duplicate contributions.

All this kind of behaviour can end to a suspension from the Local Guides program.

For this reason every local guide should read: What photos should I share on Google Maps? .

The post will help to become a successful Local Guide, posting helpful contents instead of contributing for points

When you signed as a local guide, you confirmed that you read the rules, @Saurabhthebest .

Removing the link is only the first step, deleting the video should be better, and checking your contribution could be helpful too

I’m glad that you understand @Saurabhthebest . As you experienced, the main thing about being a local guide is adding value to Google Maps by making high quality contributions and thereby help other users of Maps. The fact that you get points for them is nice (and fun, nobody is denying that) but it can never be the main goal.

Yeah definitely i understood as @ErmesT stated that the main goal of being a local guide is to help people know the place more clearly on google maps by sharing clear images , giving reviews on places we have visited

Thanks it helped me a lot …
