I’m new to local guides connect, so apologies if I’m posting this in the wrong place or anything.
I tried searching for this topic here but couldn’t find it:
I just became a Steet View “Trusted” photographer, in that I was able to switch on the “for hire” button in the app.
I now have the “Trusted” badge next to my profile image in the street view app, however, I really want to get on the trusted index. This is currently is not accepting new members as they are going through a revamp.
I found this out when clicking on the link sent in their welcome email.
Does anyone know when this revamp may be finished so that I may proceed?
If not, where could I go to find out?
In the meantime, am I able to publicly advertise that I am a Steet View Trusted photographer, and find the badge image myself to add to my website?
It is quite handy as @ErmesT and @LudwigGermany kindly suggested directions for information that you could check. (Should you have received the email confirmation for being Verified, please check especially carefully what ermest mentioned and the reply from LudwigGermany would be accepted as Solution, should that be the main point of the current situation)
I just wanted to put additional material, as you may proceed to download your badge following the instructions in this article - Sales and Branding Guidelines.
For the moment, I have relocated the current post to How-tos, as the category would be closer to the main subject.
I have just been told by google that I have been verified as a trusted photographer, but I would love for this to become “official” and searchable through their database as soon as possible.
I’ll attach some photos, both of the street view app when looking at my profile, and also of the email
they sent me and the form page the email led me to.
Thanks for your reply!
I really appreciate that. I just responded to Ermest’s message with screenshots showing that I’ve been “approved”, but sadly I cannot access the trusted badge using the link you sent as I have not yet been given permission.
Given that they have approved me but that the form is not available to complete at the moment, am I allowed to find the badge and use it now in the meantime?
In order to acquire the trusted badge here on the forum, please sign out and back in, in order to refresh any account data. Let us know if you don’t see any changes within your profile here after a few days.
The other trusted resources, including the for-hire list and access to marketing materials, are currently on hold due to the program revamp. When this changes, we will notify the community directly.
Please try signing out of the account, then back in, and waiting a few days for any old data to refresh. Let us know if this doesn’t resolve the issue.
any news on the matter of missing access and badges??
My profile says available for hire but I cant access the LGC board for trusted photographers and the Badge does not appear on my LGC profile. I waited a few daus like @Jon_L suggested but it’s still noit working. I get the message “You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action.”
Am very keen to get on the LGC board for trusted photographers
@josefholmes did you get access to the LGC board for trusted photographers?
Thanks for waiting as requested. This appears to be something on a deeper level, so we have referred it to the responsible teams for their review. We’re waiting for their response at present.
Hi @Jon_L and @sonnyNg , I am from Brazil and I am in the same situation as our friend @ClausAndersenDK the same message appears to me when logging in to the trusted page, would this be the same problem, in which case we should wait or is there a solution? Sorry the English Google translator. Thank you very much!
Issue not resolved…
