Readme - How to read the Reviews leaderboards (December, 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.
- The leaderboards in this post present details about the Local Guide reviews of hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world. As well as an overall leaderboard ranking the top 100 Local Guides by reviews, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which provide you with direct comparisons of your review views achievements with that of your peers. Additionally, leaderboards are included that showcase the top Local Guides by review views in each country.
- Where shown, [ ] around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this is the first time that this 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 on 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 indicate that that Local Guide is a Googler.
- Due to a recent major change in the way the System manages profile data, as a temporary measure a superscript of [2] following a Local Guide’s username is being used to indicate that as far as the System is concerned, at the time of reading the data for this month’s Leaderboards that user’s data appears compliant with the requirements for participation on all leaderboards. The [2] superscript will not be shown from next month.
- Local Guides suspended or who have left the Local Guides program are excluded from Leaderboards.
- Hovering over a Local Guide’s username will display the 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 either that Local Guide’s Connect Profile or to their Brick on the Wall of Fame. If a number is displayed in a small gray circle following a username, that number indicates the number of times anyone has selected that username to visit the respective Local Guide’s Connect profile or Brick in the Wall.
- 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.
- Usernames shown as @Anonymous2 have either been deleted from or have left the Local Guides program.
