T-shirts, badges, certificates, appreciation letters

Since Google can know who all are active contributers/who contributes often, I think Local Guides would be encouraged to contribute more and more when they are gifted with badges, t-shirts, certificates, appreciation letters. T-shirts and badges might help a lot since when local Guides wear it and visit some place the owners might give them more information about their business and allow the Local Guides to take good pictures and videos.

When it comes to certification and appreciation letters, who all recieve it will surely post them on social media so that their friends, family and others know. This would also inspire others to contribute to the maps so that even they get certified. This way there will be many new Local Guides and the amount of contributions get increases providing more and better information in the Google maps and the users to know more about different places and new places. Please like it if you think this idea would surely work and comment ur reviews on my idea😀

There should be criteria that if any one reaches certain level they should be awarded any token of appreciation for their contribution...so that they can be motivated in contributing more towards Google maps...

Level 5

yes, there should be something to motivate local guides to contribute more. 

Level 8

Google sent me some local guide socks when I reached 15000 points

True , especially the pixel phones because not everyone has a top end smartphone or a DSLR camera for the editing posting the images about the places also they can include us in their Pixel beta program .

  • Google Should start atleast couple of perks for indian local guides
  • Idea: educational certificate course
Level 7

I'm level 7 now and read people talking about free drive storage and other perks, well in my case I got nothing, zero. Google pays millions to dumb YouTubers to make ridiculous videos and I'm here contributing for years to this community and I don't even get a simple T-shirt. I'm disappointed.
