Hello Local Guides!
My passion for supporting small businesses goes hand in hand with supporting local restaurants.
Last year I had set small business contribution goals
I am so excited to share the progress and share new goals for another year.
As the places started to open and we saw how many people started using maps more often
to find places, know more about places, see how the place looks and what to expect.
Our little contributions help everyone at the same time helping the business owners feel motivated
When we share our honest feedback.
In the previous year I tried to capture more of the storefront images as they show the accessibility, how the place looks like and the entrance. For local restaurants I added the picture of dishes, menu and ambience.
I added pictures for public parks and grocery stores, gift shops, parks and tourists places.
(P.s parks and tourists places because they re-opened after quite a long time and there were changes and adding the photos would help to show the new updates )
Last year I aimed to write at leat 50 reviews, I wrote 47 reviews only (I am sure I can do better this time 
)
Upload photos for 50 places, yes I did infact I added photos for more places.
Make 100 edits, I made 197 edits like moving the map marker, editing the names, editing the business categories, adding timings etc.
This year my goal is to
- Add 100 reviews
- Make 250 edits
- Add helpful photos for new places
- Create 5 lists
- Provide 1000 answers
