Dear Google Maps and Local Guides Team,
My name is Ruslana, and I am a Level 7 Google Maps Local Guide.
I am writing to ask Google to consider introducing a financial reward or compensation programme for dedicated Local Guides whose contributions reach millions of people.
My current Google Maps profile shows:
- 13 million views
- 1,700 contributions
- 8,800 points
- Local Guide Level 7
I have invested significant time and effort in sharing reviews, photos, and information about places to help people make informed decisions about where to eat, stay, shop, and travel.
I am proud that my contributions have reached approximately 13 million views. This demonstrates the potential impact that dedicated Local Guides can have on Google Maps users around the world.
I respectfully ask Google to consider introducing a programme that financially recognises contributors based on the reach, quality, usefulness, and reliability of their content.
Possible options could include payments for qualifying contributions, a creator rewards programme, annual awards with financial benefits, or an invitation-based programme for high-impact Local Guides.
I appreciate the opportunity Google Maps gives people to contribute to the global community. I believe that financially recognising outstanding contributors could encourage more people to create accurate, original, and helpful content.
I would be grateful if the Google Maps or Local Guides team would consider this proposal and share it with the appropriate team.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind regards,
Ruslana
