Top 100 Google Maps Local Guides Videos (February 2024)

[AdamGT]

2024 Jan

Introduction:
When it comes to media contributions on Google Maps, video has clearly become the new frontier. Therefore, measuring and analyzing their impact compared to those of fellow Local Guides, especially our peers, can help us improve the “quality” of our video contributions. This is precisely what this post is all about.

In the usual Leaderboard post style, this dedicated video post consists of a series of leaderboards showcasing the video view counts of participating Local Guides from around the world and you can also join in. In time there will be a leaderboard for each Local Guide level and in this way you don’t have to be a “top gun” Level 10 Local Guide with a mega million views to participate! So, whether you’re an entry level Local Guide or from a small country, town or village, or a top level Local Guide from London, New York or New Delhi, you can participate and showcase your video prowess and it’s simple to do! If you want to jump on board, then hit this link to get started or if you need any help then add a comment in this post and someone will jump in to assist you.

Is this just a competition?

While there is an inherent competitive element within them, the Leaderboards are more than just seeing who has the “best” photos or videos, or the most photo or video views, far from it! They have been specifically designed to motivate us, help us to monitor our contributions and performance, and show us how to improve and make better contributions so that we achieve better results, and all in a fun and enjoyable way! If this can be done then the objective of the Leaderboards will have been achieved, mission will be accomplished! So if you haven’t as yet join in and enjoy!

How to Read the Video Views leaderboards (February, 2024)

Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details see the leaderboard documentation:

1. The leaderboards in this post present details about the video views of hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world. As well as an overall leaderboard ranking the top 100 Local Guides by video views, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which provide you with direct comparisons of your video views achievements with that of your peers. There’s also a leaderboard that shows the top 100 Local Guides ranked by the Average Views/Video which gives a good indication of the overall “quality” of all videos taken by each Local Guide. This is simply calculated by dividing the Local Guide’s total video views value (impact) by the number of publicly visible contributed videos (volume). Of course the use of the term “quality” here refers to the attractiveness of the videos to the Google AI and the viewing public.
2. 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.
3. Where shown, ( ) around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this Local Guide levelled up/down onto this leaderboard.
4. An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.
5. Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Googler.
6. A superscript following a Local Guide’s username and the views value shown on a background color indicates that some of that Local Guide’s data has been set to private. The Leaderboards System uses 8 different superscripts to indicate the varying states of a Local Guide’s profile however only 3 superscripts will likely ever be shown on the Leaderboards. In all the remaining 5 cases the Local Guide has been deleted from participation. On the Video Views Leaderboards you will only ever see the following superscripts used:
   [1] indicates that the number of photos and photo views values are private.
   [3] indicates that both the number of photos and photo views values and the number of reviews and ratings values are private.
7. A ? or the words “Not set” in a cell indicates that the respective value hasn’t been provided by or cannot be determined for the respective Local Guide.
8. Selecting any of the Connect Usernames will take you to that Local Guide’s Connect Profile.
9. The data for the leaderboards in this post was read at 5:00 AM on 2 March 2024 (UTC).
10. If you’re a participating Local Guide you must check the leaderboards for any errors or omissions and if you find any, then please add the details in a comment on this post. Regarding omissions, please note point 7 above.

Featured Video (February 2024)

This month’s featured video is this interesting Huawei P30 Pro standard video shot taken by @MarkAuchincloss . In his description, Mark mentions that it showcases Galician gastronomy in one of the most popular and historic tapas bars in the heart of the Old Town of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, a city I know very well. Mark goes on to explain that it shows a plate of recent fried Padron green peppers which are dipped in hot extra virgin olive oil then sprinkled with sea salt before being served.

Being totally honest, I have to admit, what I found interesting about Mark’s video is that I thought it looked more like a plate of crispy fried green frogs. I say this because when I was in Castilla y Leon, frog legs were served deep fried.

[ShailendraOjha]

Thank a lot sir @AdamGT & congrats to myself for Good entry.

Thank you for your appreciation @ShailendraOjha . I notice that your video views count this month is same as it was last month so am I right to assume that this is because of the Maps media views issue? If this is the case, then I certainly hope that this your correct numbers are updated soon. Keep guiding, keep improving and keep achieving.

Big thanks to you , @AdamGT for still getting the video board published this month even while you were busy overseas and dealing with data update issues.

Congratulations to everyone who made it onto the ‘Top 100 Local Guides Video Leaderboards (February 2024)’

Congrats @ShailendraOjha , you donewell.

Thanks to @MarkAuchincloss for the nice photo, its stunning and mouthwatering, but we can’t get here, which makes it even more tempting. .

@PrasadVR thanks for the mention. I took to promoting my videos on Google Maps relatively early so it’s rewarding that I’m quite high in the current video Leader boards but I’m sure that you and like minded Local Guides are going to catch me soon if you haven’t already !

Yes although Galicia is a sparsely populated and remoter region of Spain, it has a rich, diverse and varied gastronomy the envy of many who’ve come to discover it. You can either buy the Padron seeds and grow them or there are alot of green pepper varieties you can grow. The dish can be replicated at home and with good quality olive oil and sea salt, it will be worth trying!

@AdamGT thanks for featuring my video which does bring back happy memories. In fact we were celebrating a 6 day tour ending at Santiago de Compostela talking videos of the Camino de Santiago for a travel agency, Santiago Ways. So I am fortunate as a Local Guide that I can combine my passions as a guide, videographer and traveller. Not sure about the frog legs though haha you’ve certainly got a vivid sense of imagination! I hope to see you back in Spain in the future. I was in Toro in Castilla y Leon recently which reminds me of Australia as they have amazing red wines there.

Thank you @MarkAuchincloss for your kind advice on how to make Padron fry dish at home, I will give a try.

Thank you for the video boards @AdamGT . It’s crazy how stark the difference is between the Top 10 and the middle of the pack. Congrats, @MarkAuchincloss , on the fantastic feature, too!

I need to call out USA’s Top Video Contributor, @AZ_2021 , for not adding her views to the system. I wonder if we have a new leader hiding in the ranks…

@JustJake thanks matey!
