Why I spend a few hours a month to contribute to Google Maps ?

Remember the day, when you learned the letter 'A’.

It was very special, isn’t it? It was because that was the foundation of your learning and then you went ahead with other alphabets to words to sentences and gradually communication.

Just Imagine, how would you feel if you can’t remember the thing you learned yesterday and you have to start over every day. Scary right?

Sorry if it seems irrelevant but I am coming to the point.

This was the same case with us when there was no Google Map or local guides programme. There wasn’t a common easy to reach portal where people can get help about anything from a trusted source like Local Guides. So ultimately, each n every person had to start with 'A’ again and again as there wasn’t an option.

Travel is an important part of our lives. Whether it is for work, leisure or just a visit due to some other reason. We all do every day.

We come across so many places and shops during our journey. A few impress us, a few don’t. But how others can benefit from our experience? Ans is simple - Reviews by Local Guide.

I got help many times whenever I am visiting a new place, so I thought about how I can help others who need help about my city?

That simple thought has made me a Google Local Guide, and today I am happy to share that I have helped thousands of people with my reviews and answers.

It hardly takes time to do that. Every bit counts. So when you get to know that so many people are appreciating your help, it really feels good and satisfied.

So encourage others in your community to join the club and reach to more people. It is as easy as it sounds.

P.S:-

Being a Manager - Google Business Group Rajkot, I am helping the business community for the last 5 years. Now I feel, its time that I help any other person who wants help with the city info with Local guide programme.

I am a proud local guide and spending just a few hours a month to make a larger impact. Share your story, as this is just a beginning for me, I can get inspired by you.

Cheers
