How do I connect with a local guide via private message in regards to asking about a review? I want some information and i cant figure out how to do this. Thank you
Hello @Michelle_J_G , and Welcome to Local Guides Connect.
As my knowledge, there is no way to contact a Local Guide whose Profile is showing on Google maps. Unless you are searching the same name and match the city on Different social media channels, or you can find same person on Local Guides Connect with the same username.
And if you find the Local Guide here, you can send him/her private message by first clicking his/her profile pic on connect and than in bottom of the profile you can find the option “Send Private Message”
I’m also sharing Screenshot to explain it more.
And for expert opinion, I’m tagging our experienced Local Guide and Connect Moderator Mt @ErmesT here
Like @KashifMisidia said, for everyone’s privacy Google do not provide a way to contact a Local Guides in Google Maps.
You can of course try one of the steps suggested by Kashif.
I don’t know why you want to contact the reviewer, especially because, looking at your contributions, you are not a Local Guide.
Are you the owner of the reviewed business? If so, Google Maps give you several ways to act, by responding to the review or to report it, if the review is violating the rules, respecting on the same time the privacy of the reviewer.
Thanks for the tag, @KashifMisidia
Michele_J_G, hello. Did you ever figure out how to contact the “local guide” who left you a review? I’m wondering the same thing because one of the “local guides” left a negative “review” on my business profile. I consider it to be fake since I’ve never met “The VoxMan” & have never done business with him. If he really wants to do business with me he should have enough integrity to use his real name & call me instead of leaving me a negative “review”. Did something like that happen to you too?
*(I just realized your question was posted in 2022. Even though you may have resolved your issue a while back, let me know if you get this please.)
