Hi @MiloyMallick,

Thanks for your question. I just want to let you know the Idea Exchange is where Local Guides can submit ideas for improvement as described in this post which describes how to best use this area. The most popular pieces of feedback are shared directly with the product teams on a regular basis. What you have shared is not an idea or feedback.

Please note Local Guides is a global community of explorers sharing their discoveries on Google Maps. You can help others find the best spots in town, make new friends, and unlock exclusive benefits along the way. You can read more Why to be a Local Guide in this article.

Sometimes, there are perks and benefits available and it will vary from time to time and from region to region. It depends on who the Google partners are. There may also be special and/or early access to Google features.

Hi @MiloyMallick

I am moving your post from Idea Exchange to How-Tos, because it is not an idea.

Local Guides are not paid nor may Local Guides earn money for their contributions, per our program rules. But they can earn other benefits like:

  1. Early access to new Google products

  2. Invitations to offline events

  3. Access to exclusive perks

  4. A badge of distinction in the Google Maps app

Make sure your email preferences have perks emails enabled by visiting your Local Guides home.
