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.

If you’re new here then you may not be aware that this post forms part of a series of Leaderboard posts each covering different aspects of the Maps contributions made by Local Guides. To see an index to these different leaderboard posts and all the posts associated with them, simply hit this link.

Readme - How to Read the Star Photos leaderboards (November, 2025)

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.

1. 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.
2. 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, your star photo’s views must have been updated in each of the last 2 consecutive months.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Hovering over any star photo’s Uploaded Date will display that star’s screenshot date.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Where shown, ( ) around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this Local Guide levelled up/down onto this leaderboard.
11. An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.
12. Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Googler.
13. 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.
14. Selecting a Connect username will take you to either that Local Guide’s Connect Profile or to their Brick on the Wall of Fame. If a number is displayed in small gray circle following a username, that number indicate the number of times anyone has selected that username to visit the respective Local Guide’s Connect profile or Brick in the Wall.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. The data for the leaderboards in this post was read at 1120 on Tuesday, December 2, 2025 (UTC).
19. 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,
Am I right that I’m not seeing much change if any in the November star photo views boards when compared to those of October? Has anyone’s average star views/day increased?

[WilfriedB]

Interesting: Still on position 6 for Average Views/Day. While I expect only a decrease every month, this is probably true for all others on this list, because I don’t see any post after 02 2024 here.

Thank you for all this analysis, @AdamGT!

[AdamGT]

I expect only a decrease every month, this is probably true for all others on this list.

I haven’t done a detailed check but yes it certainly looks that way @WilfriedB. It will be interesting to see and compare this to the November star video data.

In my case, it stopped having views since September I know I just have to get used to it, but it’s just strange to me that it doesn’t have even one extra view.

Anyway, thanks for doing this

@cuicani

it’s just strange to me that it doesn’t have even one extra view.

Since we know (or better assume it is extremely likely) that the views are updated only if the delta exceeds 1% of the previously published views for that photo and photos posted before 2024 did get many more views than now and possibly the photo lost its prominent position (wherever it was shown in public), I understand very well, changes are very unlikely. The latter reason (“lost position”) can also apply to media posted after 2023.

That doesn’t apply for photos or videos published after February 2024, but for them it needs time to reach the level of the older photos.

[TerryPG]

Agree @WilfriedB A couple of my thoughts.
@cuicani and @AdamGT
As Adam knows I have tracked my top 25 photos since I started on Connect some 6 years ago. Same as cuicanni. None of my top 25 have received views since 2nd week of September. This is when Google did a major shift and changed the feature photo of almost all POIs
Of my 25 top photos 13 of them where the featured photo of the POI, Alas no longer. I looked to see if there was a trend in what Google replaced the new featured photo with, I found no trend, some were older ,couple of night photos, some newer photos but NO discerning trend. 3 of my featured photos where replaced by 3 of my newer including one video.
Google also did a similar purge about 5 years ago.
I also checked last months Star photos by day(table417) and as expected everyone’s daily average went down.

Bonjour @AdamGT, merci pour ces tableaux de novembre. Cependant, je suis surpris de ne pas prendre rang dans le Top 100 Star Photo Average Views/Day - Leaderboard #416 ce mois-ci. M’auriez-vous inscrit sur votre liste noire ?
