Introduction:

As Local Guides it’s often amazing which of all of our many photos that we contribute to Google Maps has the most views. We’ve come to call this our star photo and this post is all about such stars. It includes a set of leaderboards that showcase the star photos of hundreds of Local Guides from all over the world and presents a very detailed comparative analysis of their performance.

We all have a star photo, so you can join in to showcase yours and it’s simple to do. Simply hit this link or just leave a comment in this post and someone will jump in to help you.

So what can you learn from the Star Photos Leaderboards?

Well from the very detailed analysis of the star photos of the hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world, you can learn a lot about what type of places and what type of photos seem to get the most views on Google Maps and remember, views are important as they provide a fairly good indication on how helpful your photos are to Maps users.

Example Star Photo:

The cover photo of this post is an example star photo added to Maps by @anon24291235, a Level 10 Local Guide from Sheffield, a city in the English county of South Yorkshire. Interestingly when describing his star photo, Steve said:

"I have a nice camera but you take photos with what you have with you, which is 100% your phone and in this case my Huawei P30.

It’s a bad quality photo in every respect, but you get away with a lot looking at these on phone screens. It’s not like you are going to set up a tripod and camera for these things, although I wish businesses would do that!".

I’m sure that most Local Guides are like you Steve. I certainly am. I cannot recall when I last took a photo with my big and bulky Nikon. You can read more about Steve’s star photo here.

Readme - How to Read the Star Photos leaderboards (January, 2024)

Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details see the leaderboard documentation and the Leaderboard System’s online context-sensitive help information.

The leaderboards in this post present details about the star photos of hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world. We all have a star photo, it’s our photo that has the most views and we call these, the star views.
As well as an overall leaderboard, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which provide you with direct comparisons of your star photo’s views performance with that of your peers. Finally, there’s a leaderboard ranking the top 100 star photos by average star views per day which gives an indication on how good your star photo is. To be included in this leaderboard, you must have updated your star photo’s views in the period since the date of the last average star views per day leaderboard as posted here on Connect last month.
The average star views per day is calculated by dividing the star views by the life of the star photo expressed in days. The life of the star photo is equal to the number of days between when you first uploaded your star photo on Maps and the date that you last updated the star views and thus, will be different for each participating Local Guide. Therefore, for accuracy of the information it is important you enter the correct dates. When it comes to the date that you last updated the star views, point #2 above is very important.
As well as the star views and the date uploaded onto Maps, each listing on the leaderboards shows the Maps Category, and a description (e.g. Storefront, Building or Park) of the respective Local Guide’s star photo.
Hovering over any star photo’s Uploaded Date will display that star’s screenshot date.
If the Maps Category of a star photo is shown as a link and if the name of the relevant Place of Interest was provided by the respective Local Guide, then hovering over that link will show you the name of the place and selecting that link will take you to a screenshot with details of that place as stored on the Local Guides, 2024 Star Photos post, a “photo album” if you will, of star photos.
If the Maps Category of a star photo is shown on a colored background then that star photo has been selected as one of the best that meets the formatting requirements as specified in the Local Guides, 2024 Star Photos post. Select that star photo’s category and see why it has been rated as one of the best and read more about that star photo on the “photo album” post.
Preceding some of the leaderboards, you may see a number of featured star photos. If so, these are a selection from those that best meet the requirements as detailed in the Local Guides, 2024 Star Photos post.
Where shown, around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this is the first time that the Local Guide has participated on the Top 100 Local Guides leaderboards.
Where shown, ( ) around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this Local Guide levelled up/down onto this leaderboard.
An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.
Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Googler.
Hovering over a Local Guide’s username will display the integration number that integrates that Local Guide’s details on the Leaderboards System and Connect; the umbilical chord if you will between the two disparate systems.
Selecting a Connect Username will take you to that Local Guide’s Connect Profile.
Local Guides suspended or who have left the Local Guides program as well as those who have hidden their Maps profile are excluded from the Leaderboards.
Local Guides that have not updated their star photo details in the month covered by the Star Photo leaderboards will be excluded from the Average Views/Day leaderboard.
A ? or the words “Not set” in a cell indicates that the respective value cannot be determined or hasn’t been provided by or for the respective Local Guide.
The data for the leaderboards in this post was read at 1340 on Wednesday, February 5, 2025 (UTC).
Local Guides included on the leaderboards must check their entries for any errors. If you should find any errors or omissions, please add the details in a comment on this post. Regarding omissions, please note point 17 above.

Hello everyone,

As you will have noticed, I am having some formatting problems. Investigating now so thank you for your patience and understanding.

Update: I’ve found the problem and have now updated the leaderboards with one or two still to go.

I haven’t as yet done a deep check but just wondering, has anyone had an increase in their star photo views?

tagliaficojuan · February 18, 2025, 11:03am

@AdamGT Figuro como el ultimo caramelo del frasco pero estoy ! vamos por ese 2025 !

JustJake · February 18, 2025, 11:37am

I finally got an update after a couple of months. Looks like it scored me a top spot on the Average Daily Views list!

anon24291235 · February 18, 2025, 12:19pm

Thanks for the mention in the post @AdamGT

Regarding count update, mine must have update either today or yesterday. It’s about 1% or around 10k a month

Kumaarsantosh · February 18, 2025, 12:53pm

Mine is just stuck since last 8 months.

tony_b · February 18, 2025, 3:06pm

Not me!! Based on the apparent 1% rule, it will be a few years yet. I need to move by 21,378 views to meet that criteria.

Based on the “historical” monthly average of 984 you list here for me, that would take 21 months from March last year.

Based on my knowledge of the true average of about 200 monthly views for my red star, that would take 106 months or nearly 9 years from last March.

Maybe I’ll have a new Star by then, but the gap between my Star and my #2 and #3 photos is really wide.

Annaelisa · February 18, 2025, 6:33pm

Oh Wunder @AdamGT nach langem Stillstand war es im Dezember der Fall und jetzt ist wieder Pause

TerryPG · February 18, 2025, 7:31pm

I have had 3 increases for my Star photo since the crash of Feb 7. totalling approx. 290,000 views. My Star photo has 9,800,930 views thus falling in line with the 1% rule.
Forgot to mention the easiest way to find this number is in the Star tracking table available in the top 100 system
