Small Business Love - Setting New Goals

Hello Local Guides,

It been one year of supporting small business, on 10th June 2020 I hosted my very first virtual meet up where we discussed how we can help small businesses around us.

After which I kept searching new ways to motivate fellow local guides to do the same.

Looking back to the year

I not only improved my contributions but also shared whatever I discovered and shared with fellow local guides.

Through regular posts and series of meet ups, on the other hand contributing on Google maps

By adding businesses.

Adding the first rating, review and pictures for local shops around me.

Added information about safety, take away delivery and appreciating things that I liked after my visit.

Going out often was not possible so decided to contribute in different ways like making lists and answering yes or no.

Checking facts making edits about the time change.

opening and closing of business.

Whenever I ordered food I added a review for the same.

Today I feel proud as a local guide when I meet the business owners and hear from them about how adding their business on maps helped them.

Also I feel glad to see response from onwers on my reviews

It just takes a few minutes to stop by and contributed. Let’s keep spreading happiness for small business around us :sparkling_heart:

This year join me to reach new goals to contribute towards small business.

My goal is help out as many businesses as possible

For this I aim to add reviews for at least 50 reviews for local shops and Restaurants.

Make 100 edits for local shops and restaurants

Add latest photos for at least 50 places

Add new business as I find them

Help business owners to get listed on maps using Google my business and show how to use it.

Would you like to join “small business love”? what are your contribution goals for small business this year? Comment below and I will add up your names in upcoming posts :sparkling_heart:

I love helping small businesses and that’s why I’ve added over 1100 places and small businesses to the map so far.

If the pendamic subsides a bit, my goal is to get these small business owners face to face to inform them about Google My Business, Wish so that they can grow their business @FalguniP .

Dear @FalguniP

You are supporting small business passionately.

that is great!

At the beginning of the year I decided my goal.

I would add 100 new Business on Google Maps and give 50 plus review in this year but the contribution has been delayed a bit due to the lockdown.

I have already completed four more meet-ups on Support Small Business and another meet-up will be held on the 18th of this month.

Completed meet-ups:

Since I am not able to travel more I am doing it for shops around me and wish to help more as I move around :blush:

@MAHBUB_HYDER thank you for appreciating dear friend :pray: :blush:

Great work dear Falguni!

I remember your post a year ago, and the meets ups about supporting small businessess.

Besides the update of important information i’m doing on GMaps such keep the customer-business contact through the editions (3700 editions), to maintain and increase the businessess comercial activity, I think was important to update the businessess front pics to encourage the public to interact with the business.

I have the luck that the new photos I took remains as featured cover photo In some of the POI’s files in GMaps.

In addition to this I have posted an idea here on Connect (you have supported with your vote ) In order to encourage Local Guides to help the businessess to download and register successfully in GMB.

Local Guides + Google Maps → GMB

Thanks, best regards.
