India is a highly populated country with immense growth in every sector. demands also get increase and so local small businesses also started raising but these small business owner doesn’t know google maps, they usually ain’t on google maps and so people won’t be able to find it though people also looking for small businesses like a grocery store or a small hair saloon or a small restaurant and they also want to get connected to them.
I am from Pune, India but come from a different part of India. when I shifted to Pune I search for lot many things to buy stuff for my new home. I search from furniture shops to kitchenware shops but I found a few with fewer options so I go out to search in the local area and found many local shops and they are quite cheaper. I experience the same with other small businesses.
The point here is people always looking out for such small business and they look out for customers. since then I always love to add missing places, adding photos to a small business. writing reviews. I recently brought 360 camera and so now I go to a place to click 360 photos and upload them to google maps.
Famous places, big shopping malls etc has mostly accurate detail, reviews, tons of photos but small businesses don’t get chance to reach more people.
That’s my views. whats your views on this?
