It is quite challenging to describe for what kind of services I write reviews on Google Maps for one reason: I write about almost everything. However, in this post, I am going to try it.
As I remember, the time I became a Local Guide I was writing about restaurants in most of the cases. For me, the reason is bloody obvious. Hungarian people, like me, love to eat and it is quite challenging for restaurants to impress us. So when I was satisfied after a meal I thought that I must share it to help other Hungarians enjoy it too.
After a while, when I gained more experience I started to review different services than restaurants. I rated the sights I visited and the shops where I had bought something. I even did it when I was abroad. As I see, this helps local entrepreneurs a lot, since foreign people sometimes see things from a different point of view.
Today I strive to review as many places as possible and I love it. Not because I want to reach a higher level as a Local Guide, but to help as many Google Map users as I can. My philosophy is that the more reviews you write, the more people you reach and help to make a good decision.
Regarding the above-mentioned, you may think that I am a review factory with poor reviews, but I see it differently. I find myself similar to a craftsman who considers the quality more important than the quantity.
