The Google Local Guides program has positively impacted my life in many ways since joining.
I originally joined because I would Google a location only to find that incorrect information or useless photos were part of the location listing on Google.
I realized that I could have a positive impact on the search results for others who are having problems like I was, knowing that I can help someone else out is a rad feeling for the small amount of time it takes to contribute to Google Local Guides.
