This was my first virtual meetup hosted to throw lights on How to create and share useful lists on Google Maps?
First of all, I discussed what are the lists and how it is useful?
The list is nothing but a collection of similar places that can be
- Public (visible to everyone)
- Private (visible only to you)
- Shared (visible to those you share with)
When to use lists?
I mean, you can create a list of places you want to visit during a food crawl or when you want to share with your friends. I use private lists to save the places I want to visit and share my favourite places/restaurants through public lists.
Have a look at some of them:
- 5 Safe Places for hidden couples in Hyderabad
- Mumbai cheap eats
- 7 Wonders of Hyderabad
- Kolkata - tourist places to visit
5 things to do to stand a chance to get your list featured:
- Write an appropriate List name
- Give List description
- Add at least 4 places ( I recommend 8 to 15 places)
- Write notes for each place
- Select a photo for each place
Tips:
- Give creative and informative titles like Best French fries in Mumbai
- Can give funny, attractive titles like 5 Safe Places for hidden couples in Hyderabad
- it always good to use numbers or time like Best Non-veg buffet restaurants of 2020
We’ve done the activity of creating a list at the beginning of the meetup and one after sharing these useful tips. After all, we compared both the lists side by side and most of them felt improved on creating useful listings. Here are some of them: Click here to view

Here is the presentation (PPT file) which I made for the session. Anybody who haven’t attended this meetup can have a look.
I hope the attendees would like this session. And looking forward to sharing knowledge through virtual meetups.
