The most interesting thing I've done as a Local Guide?

The most interesting thing I’ve done as a Local Guide has been adding new places to Google Maps, mainly places that are in countries that aren’t very well developed.

In many cases I’ve spoken to business owners about having their business listed on Google Maps, claiming it, and using it as a marketing tool. Google Maps is so much more than a guiding map.

This is just the most interesting thing I’ve done as a Local Guide, although there is so much more.

No @ironside I’m unable to do that. Only the Google staff know what they are looking for in an application.

Quite simple and amazingly explained. Great job. Good Luck.

Cool Stuff! I very much recognize what you are mentioning here. There are still a lot of places in the world which are not so hard to reach, but where the coverage of Google Maps is a lot less relative to the developed world.

Hai @TheEagleEye .

Same with me. I have a passion to help small and medium entreprise owner to use Google Maps as their marketing tools.

Usually I use my Local Guides profile as an introduction and and ice breaking to open communication.

Thanks for your comment @BudiFXW . Yes it can be a conversation opener. It is certainly surprising how many people don’t know about the uses of Google Maps.

Yes @TheEagleEye .

After 15 years of Google Maps, mostly people use it only as a tools of giving direction and read review and seing foto and video.

There is plenty features that can be utiize by Small business entrepreneur.

This is absolutely one of the most concise response I have seen on here and I totally agree with you, especially coming from a town it ain’t so developed @TheEagleEye

Adding new places actually have been the most interesting thing I have done too, which makes the two of us. Good luck :+1:t2:
