What does the Local Guides program mean to me!

Hello Everyone,

my name is Alex I am a level 7 local guide here in the city of Easton PA.

I was first introduced to platform/program back when it was first introduced to Google Maps beta testers as a new feature. I fell in love with the Local Guides program because of what it provides to business owners, A voice through the reviewers. I love how it gives business owners the ability to level out the playing field putting themselves on the map literally with everyone else and allowing the customers or visitors to be the judge.

I take great pride and joy in finding little niche businesses I can take my friends, family, and clients too and being the first one to introduce it to them. it just feels good. Having the ability to upload your photos and leave a review of your great time is the new word of mouth.
