Introduction:
Each day we’re seeing more and more Local Guides contributing videos on Maps, sharing their experiences so that others can get a much better appreciation and make better informed decisions about visiting the places they enjoy. This post is about such videos and more specifically, it’s about showcasing the “best” videos taken by Connect Local Guides from all over the world. In the absence of a better metric, we use the number of views that a video has gained as a measure of that video’s “quality” and we refer to the video having the most views as being our star video.
The post includes leaderboards for different Local Guide levels and in this way, whether you are a level 10 or a level 5 Local Guide, if you have contributed video on Maps, you can join in to showcase your star. and it’s simple to do. Simply hit this link or leave a message on this post and someone will help you.
So what can you learn from the Star Videos Leaderboards?
By sharing our video contributions and achievements we can learn a lot about how to improve the quality of our videos so that we can achieve even better outcomes in terms of the impact that they have on our communities. We have been doing this successfully with photos over many years and so we can do the same with videos so join in and let’s see if together we can learn what type of videos work “best” on Maps.
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 posts associated with them, simply hit this link.

The star video depicted in the cover image is of MAQUÉ café, Cuautemoc, Ciudad de Mexico located in the heart of Condesa in CDMX and was taken by @LightRich (Buzz) a level 8 Local Guide from Mexico City, Mexico.
With 354,318 views as at the end of October which is an increase of almost 270,000 views in the last 12 months, it’s great to see how Buzz’s contributions to Maps are helping local businesses like this, and of course, those searching for and wanting to try out their delicious conchas for which Buzz explains the Maque restaurants are famous for.
