Thanks for your reply. I believe having on show a 'trustworthiness' score could have social and maybe legal implications.

Trustworthiness, like levels, can and is gamed. In my line of business, I've met those who game Google Map reviews. These accounts don't draw attention to themselves with massive high levels. Looking up 'black hat world' you'll get an idea how its being commercially gamed right now. TBH, I'd like to work on a project taking down fake spam reviews as it devalues local guides.

Having Google Local Guide 'social influencers' swaying popularity of places is a grave concern due to the scale of Google Maps. With a trust score I fear that it will be abused and gives places an unfair advantage.

I agree that your idea is a very good one. In an ideal world it'd be nice that it would work. Aa private indication to things you need to improve should be helpful as a guide to doing better. Google obviously know your trust score. You can use Google Local Assistant to find the reviews and likes you have - along with your contributions. That should be good enough to make you improve without a public badge. 

Thanks @LucioV for your post.

@Phunky Thank You For Nice And Helping Comments But What About Level 10 With Spamming And Spamming At Present. Even I Guided About Same But He Is On. "What If" Is Every Where. You Are At Best Stand But A Signal To We Local Guide Should Be Must. Only For Example The Link Below ::

I am unable to find my self. What's reason behind a suspense still. 

Trust Score works above link, I don't know.

@Phunky , Misuse is exception, some how rare or By whom who are unknown about their virtual worthiness. Even misused by others hand for friendly help or with a cup of coffee without knowing about Trust Score.

Indication Will Be Best In Profile About Trust Score.

Again Thank You And Please Lead.

Thanks, dear @NeerajKumarIndia for proposing this wonderful feature, which will make our contribution more better and increase our confidence level.  Just I was about to post this idea found your proposal and I voted gladly. 

Example, many google program like CROWDSOURCE there is a category called " Accuracy" along with other contribution details. This will alert the contributor to take very serious steps to increase his/her trust score.

As @Phunky  saying, it should be sent privately to the concerned local guide or only he/she can access from the profile.  

In this way, Google is more transparent to the contributor and give them a space to improve and prove themselves. It can be both appreciations on what all the areas they are performing well and suggestions for improvement. 

Trust Scores Can be compiled or divided into categories.

Thanks for considering this proposal dear @IrrPavlova

Being a Digital Marketer myself, I understand that Google Ads platform is having quality control and suggestion of how good or bad an ad copy is from a scale of "weak" to "excellent"  based on how ad copies are written. This allows for advertisers to write better copies and lower their cost of advertising through higher quality scores. 

Using similar contextual machine learning models, I'm pretty certain that the system will be able to suggest how good or bad a written review, or a set of photos are, in real time. If we can apply similar algorithms of that into this, I'm certain that Local Guides will be able to craft better quality holistic photo+review posts and aim towards an "excellent" rating. That way, in aggregate, across all the hundreds of reviews and photos that a Local Guide would have, they'd also be able to have some sort of system-evaluated score, without jeopardizing on abuse via other accounts.

å@JohnPeter  thanks for your follow up and comments. I agree with @Floyeow, as well as being a digital marketer myself, a privaye trust score like PPC ads I think is a better way to go to improve the program

There used to be some metrics in Map Maker that revealed the amount of submissions that were successful and how many failed.

Perhaps it would be useful to have metrics for the things that were rejected. This would apply to all categories of adding/changing a point of interest. For example, if an edit is not applied, it would count against the total number of edits. Knowing how many passed or failed is useful for the Local Guide.

For me, it would be great to know if photos are removed from the map. It always happens silently and there is no easy way to find out when or what happened. In a way, this kind of feedback would give a Local Guide some warning about something wrong.

@NeerajKumarIndia  your idea needs to be developed again ,I'm not sure about your idea

[NeerajKumarIndia]

@JeffMuir Ji, Only notification, Alert, Feedback Or Warning May Work instead of Trust Score Indicator. I agree and really appreciate your guidance. Thank You And Wishing Best.

@Zalik1 Bro, I was looking for some indicator/Alert in advance as a number of Local Guide were got suspension because not aware of contribution guidelines on Maps and same in Not Applied case. For that the above idea was. Now @JeffMuir Ji, Suggested the easy and best way to handle such situations.
