As a Local Guide, particularly those who have reached the higher levels of the program, we often spot errors in business listings, and in trying to do what's right will submit edits that will improve the quality of the listing, or remove clear violations of both Maps and Google My Business guidelines for listings.
Currently, these edits will appear in the businesses Google My Business dashboard, with a "one-click" undo, cancelling those edits (and with many businesses now employing 'bots' to auto-undo, many times these edits are cancelled in minutes). It should be possible for a Local Guide to flag such edits, for them to go to a Google team member for review and publishing that will circumvent the "undo" option, thus allowing the change to remain.
Such a feature could include a comment box for the Local Guide to provide details why they think the change is appropriate, which could then be reviewed by the Google team member.
