Local guides program mean to me: a digital conductor to each new (beneficiary) Google Map user.
Good morning friends!
Let me say about myself. I’m Eliash Uddin a local guide from Dhaka Bangladesh, I’m an entrepreneur providing professional financial, legal and digital media marketing (I C T) consultancy services.
I didn’t think any specific issues on local guide but in a broad I’m too habituated to use Google Map to search, find, meet, communicate, navigate all over the city, country and foreign location and information. The local guide program makes my life and communication so easier whenever and wherever I needed any location and information thereon. It’s not so far that we used letter, geography books, printed maps, television, and relatives in foreign country etc. to know the location and guidelines which was too costly, timely and rarely also.
During the age of (digital) Internet, Smart phones & the Google Maps made an unbelievable automation and revolution in the scope of information and communications. I got the opportunity to add my small business in Google Maps and getting more reach out and engagement through location and information sharing. So I took google Map as my one of the most important business partners (tools). In Bangladesh digital marketing in small business are not so extensive though there have been developing industries and mega shops. But now a day’s most of the entrepreneur are entering their data on Google Maps. As a discoverer along with an entrepreneur I know better how much Small and Medium Enterprise (S M E) are impacted by local guide review according to the nature of their business like Tours operator, Hotel-Restaurant, Meal-Cuisine, Fast-Food, Fashion House, Stationery-Cosmetic, Vegetable, Poultry-Fish & animal Feed also Farming and export thereon, Furniture, Leather, Automobiles, Electronics and all other product through the shops and going on besides e-commerce. Also Financial Market I C T Services and product markets, Freelancer, Contents writer, Photographer, Digital Media Marketer and Consultancy services provider are also rising their profession rapidly.
Here I prefer more Google Map than any other digital tools for business promotion regarding the business listing, extending, getting customer engagement, receiving services or products and giving feedback and review by the beloved local guide as an ultimate end users. They practically involved with the services or product which ever they have been taken. Local guide has enough relevant information about a specific place, product, and services for the new users which they have made through review. It’s not enough to give only the stars more to a place. Besides we all local guide should share relevant information so far we know. So that every users of Google Map can be benefited as they are new consumers in the age of virtual communications.
Local guide can give the feedback review on the place, location or business which they have worth by neutral approach it may be wonderful or terrible as the case may be also goes to the positive or negative which really happened. This can create a new dimension of the consumer’s interest and also the goodwill for having quality product or services by the providers ultimately.
Connect Live 2020 is the best place for Local Guides to share their invention, learn more, enhance the capacity and efficiency, obtaining answer on their queries, suggestions, getting engagement with the community members, giving feedback, promoting tips for the local guide program and many more. I’m one of the local guide eagerly waiting to attend the convention at Google Park in California Bay.
