What Local Guides means to me: Helping people find Small Businesses easily

Ever since I started contributing to Google Maps I have changed the way I do things. Every time I visit a local business I always open my map to make sure it is listed and if it is listed I make sure it has the correct information by verifying with the business owner.

I nowadays search even the most essential services on Google Maps and if it is missing I add it on my TODO list, I also make sure I educate the small business owners on why listing their small businesses on Google Maps is important

My target for 2020 is to add all the small businesses that people usually overlook like the local Shoemaking, Berber shops, and the local markets on Maps, I want to make sure that every service provided in my country can be easily found on Google Maps.
