Hi everyone, my name is Ray! As my username suggests I reside in Atlanta. Let me just start by saying I love Google and Google Maps. I literally use it every day, whether I’m trying to avoid traffic or finding a new place to try for lunch. So… why do I love sharing? Well, because I rely heavily on reviews to help me make decisions, and I want to return the favor. Maps has introduced me to so many new places in my community it’s unreal. Even when I go out of town I find new places to try. Every time I go on vacation I am tasked with planning the daily itinerary based on the amount of research I do on Maps. If I find a place have a great experience I want to be able to share with as many people as possible. I’ve also found Map reviews allows visitors to stray away from the tourist traps and experience cities like true locals. I also get to highlight smaller establishments which might get overlooked by bigger media outlets. I’d like to believe I’ve introduced some people to new businesses in their communities because of my reviews. I know I’ve found a few favorites because of other Google users. Real people writing real reviews.
