We’ve all been there…
Wandering alone in a city or neighborhood you don’t know feeling hungry, so you look around, pick the nearest restaurant and go in there and order some food…
Sounds familiar, right?
But how many times was the food bad, or the service not that good or you even had to pay a price that couldn’t afford?
I wish someone would have told me before going into that restaurant!
And that is exactly why I choose to share my experiences on Google Maps!
We all have different life experiences, and each and every one of them can be useful to someone else if he knew about it. And this includes good and bad experiences that we go through in life with different locations, shops, streets, and so on.
Reading reviews on Google Maps helps me choose which repair shop to visit and which one of them treats people nicely and doesn’t try to over-sell them.
I also find it valuable to see photos that users have posted of any place when the owner hasn’t included enough photos to begin with.
Simply, by being active on google Maps as a Local guide I can save others money, help them find the best place to buy their groceries or even know that their favorite store now open at 7:00 am!
What about you, what motivates you to be a Local Guide?
