Top 100 Google Maps Local Guides Star Photos (March, 2025)

In my experience tracking my numbers, that occurs when it takes a bit more than 30 days to reach the next 1% threshold. So if it changed on the 25th of one month and is taking 45 days to increase by 1%, then the end of the new month might be too early, and the next change could occur around the 10th of the third month. ,

Your explanation makes sense @tony_b thank you for that.

Congratulations everyone on being in the Level 8 Top 100

It is a striking image. I especially appreciate the balanced exposure that captures the red light at the bottom of the trees.

Thanks a lot, Alfred!

I have to admit, the red light was luck. First because a car was passing along this extremely low traffic street and secondly the exposure did fit.

Thanks. I’ve filled in one section. Phew! Done. Tick

But I gather that I have to post a screenshot of my star photo somewhere and get a permalink to it?
Can someone direct me to where I can drop the screen shot in? Thanks
There is so much documentation to read that I’m completely lost! Have tried looking all over the place. But still lost

Hello @MariaNgo

Yes there is a lot of documentation but I have to say that the Startup Guide that you would have been directed to has everything you need to know about getting started. Have another read of that but also, to answer your specific question, this index with the links contained might help you. It’s a good index to bookmark.

Hello @MariaNgo,
reading and memorizing all the documentation can be challenging, since @AdamGT did a great job to describe everything.
To respond to your question briefly with my words (hoping, Adam doesn’t mind :sad_but_relieved_face: ) :
The “albums” for the star photo and star videos are discussion threads here on Local Guides Connect. You just reply to it and insert your screen shot.
Two important things to remember though:

  • Carefully read the first comment of the album, to understand how your “album page” should be formatted,
  • Although the “album” in reality is a discussion thread, you should only add one single reply containing the screenshot and its description (as explained in the first comment!), but no further discussions. For questions and discussions and questions related to Star albums use Discussion on Local Guides 2025 Star Photos instead.

New albums are always created at the beginning of each year

Thanks @WilfriedB for jumping in and clarifying this for @MariaNgo. I’m under the pump on trying to wrap up the A,B,C photos with the most views. I’m almost there :sweat_smile:

I hate to be the one pointing something wrong, but there’s one name (cuicani) x 3 on the Level 7 leaderboard.
I also understand we’re way past March but Dexter sent me here :laughing:
