Hi @Ranjan_Kumar_Swain

Check first if your profile is included in these cities. Discover-even-more-places-on-Google-Maps

This article will help you.

Best regards :grinning:

Hello @Ranjan_Kumar_Swain

My city is not on the current list of cities. Still, I have a follower.
The feature is extended to some LGs. However, the criteria are not known.
However, I do observe certain discrepancies in your contributions.

  1. 71 reviews are private.
  2. 190 photos are private.
  3. Out of the 1643 reviews, the master badge considers only 265 numbers as helpful.
  4. The count of likes to the reviews is unimaginable and appears to be through some assignable cause.

In my opinion, all these deficiencies reduce the trustworthiness of a contributor & hinders roll-out of some special features.

Hi @C_T . How you check these details on someone else profile. Please tell me how to check. I also want to learn.

Thank you

Yes, @C_T ,I follow you. In my city, some LG’s have follow link but I haven’t it :sweat_smile: .

Thanks. Nice to read that @Irfan_dPriyanto

So, you know my profile on Maps. Now I do not need to make that link open here!

Hello @Sandeepnirvan
That’s funny. There is a saying " You can point out a speck in somebody else’s eye, but you can’t see a big pin in your own!
The Google Maps team has made that difficult in the new UI on the phone.
Otherwise, there was an option earlier “View your public profile”.
However, we still have that on a desktop.

Still, you can do that on the phone through a complicated route. But you have to remember a place where you have added a review.
Then, in the app, select the incognito mode.
Next, open the remembered place. Scroll to find the review against your name & then click on your profile.
Now you will see two sets of figures there.
Expand the photos & note the number.
Similarly, expand the reviews & note the number.
Next, click on your profile picture & see what the figures are against each of these. Do not forget to add the videos count in the photos.

The gap between these two sets of figures is the quantum of private content.
When the AI marks something as private, we do not lose the points & hence the count continues on the badges.
However, a significant increase in that would be unhealthy.

The phone route offers further insight through the additional information at the individual badges & hence I prefer that.

Hello @Ranjan_Kumar_Swain ,

Thank you for reaching out.

In addition to @Stranger9 's reply who suggested that you check Discover even more places on Google Maps, please keep in mind that this is a limited pilot and not every city is selected. In the article you can read “When selecting Local Guides to participate, we look for things like how often they share recommendations, and quality and frequency of their contributions on Maps. If you’re not selected to participate but live in one of these cities, keep an eye on the “For You” tab for great local finds from a fellow community member!”

You can also check this announcement post Introducing the “Following” feature on Connect. Please follow the steps in the post to see how you can follow other Local Guides on Connect as well.

Hello @Ranjan_Kumar_Swain how are you?

Hope you are doing great.

The feature to being followed is not availble for the entire Local Guide population.

Only some profiles are experiencing this new feature.

Please read the following post where is very well explained, the roll out of this feature.

Hope my comment helps you,

Regards!

Thanks for replying

Hello @Ranjan_Kumar_Swain

I am finding you are posting the same query after about a week but in a different board.

You already got a solution to your query. If you are not happy with that, you can still unmark that. Repeating the same content may catch the attention of the automated spam filters.

Hi, @Ranjan_Kumar_Swain , I want to inform you that I’m merging this post in your previous one to keep our community organized. If you have additional questions related to this subject, you don’t need to start a new topic. Instead, feel free to comment on the same thread. Greetings, Alexandre
