Proud to Be Level 8: A Journey from Curiosity to Meaningful Contributions

Dear Local Guides,
I am truly honored and excited to announce that I’ve officially reached Level 8 as a Local Guide on Google Maps!

This journey started with simple curiosity- Wondering how I could make places easier to find, better represented and more helpful for others. Over time, that curiosity transformed into purposeful contributions- Through reviews, photos, edits and location updates that empowered thousands.

Every time I clicked “Submit,” I believed I was helping someone make a better decision, find a hidden gem, or feel more connected to their surroundings. Today, with over 240K views of my contributions, countless helpful marks and a heart full of stories- I proudly wear the Level 8 badge as a symbol of commitment to my community.

To all fellow Local Guides:
Keep exploring. Keep sharing. Your small acts of contribution have the power to create big changes. Let’s continue shaping a smarter & more connected world- together.

If you curious to know/see what I’ve shared/posted to the Google Maps:

With gratitude and excitement,
Rafikul Islam Sikder

Unfortunately, the screenshot of your Google Maps profile shows you uploading personal photos, which is clearly spam. I hope you will pay more attention to the rules. @RafikSikder

Google Maps is about places not faces.

Thank you so much for advising me on this important matter. Honestly speaking, I never used to take my contributions on Google Maps very seriously though I started my contributions to the Google Maps since 2017. Perhaps, like many others in our country, I didn’t realize their value. However, I truly appreciate your guidance, and I’ve taken your suggestions to heart. I believe your advice will positively influence my future contributions. Wishing you continued success and well-being in all aspects of life. Thank you once again. @MohammadPalash

Hi @RafikSikder,

Thank you for sharing with us!

Since what you shared is related to your achievement it will fit best in the Connection & celebrations category under the Gratitude post tag and I will make that change, to keep the community organized.

Please note, using the right tags and categories on your topics makes it easier for other Local Guides to find what they’re looking for in the community.
