I am a local guide at level 5.
i came to know about google’s local guide accidentally when i went to an unknown place in my hometown in India. Based on review written by someone i visited the particular organization and i felt happy because of the guidance provided by the reviews.
From then onwards i started writing reviews mainly because i love writing, also started doing local corrections in an around my village for business firms.
Due to the overwhelming responses i received personally by business men’s and views i received for my reviews and photos encouraged me to continue reviewing.
And i am happy that my actions are helping a lot of small business in my small village where internet is getting popular.
Also, personally, reviewing helping me to improve my photography skills too since i used to add photos with reviews.
