I am merging this idea to this one since it's a similar suggestion. Local Guides are not paid nor may Local Guides earn money for their contributions, perour program rules. But they can earn other benefits like:
Early access to new Google products
Invitations to offline events
Access to exclusive perks
A badge of distinction in the Google Maps app
Make sure your email preferences have perks emails enabled by visiting yourLocal Guides home. You can learn more about the program and benefits in theHelp Center.

After contributing the local guides, I was rewarded a pair of socks. Yeah? Not to say they have to give anything, but if you really want people to contribute, offer digital dollars. Like take $1 off a rental for a movie or purchase. Say after so many views or contributions. More you contribute the bigger the perk.
I would like to inform you, that I'm merging your post to an already submitted idea.
