Hi,
Avid local guide here... I'd like to suggest that it be possible for business owners be able to reward users who take especially good/effective photos of their businesses. I think this would greatly improve the overall quality of the photos submitted that they use on their Google listing page.
Whadya think?
Thanks!

Not sure, this could encourage the post/photo/review in change of reward phenomena.
Are you talking about some "kudos" to best pictures or something else?

I don't think there's anything to prevent business owners paying for photos even now - after all, Local Guides who are SV Trusted photographers are paid for their work. However if a LG is paid for their photos they cannot review the same place since then they would have a commercial relationship with the business and there'd be a conflict of interest

@EamonW I think business owners in Toronto need to be more aware of the number of people who use Google Maps to find their business - once they understand that - they will be more motivated to have a proper profile.
I hope to see you at one of our meet-ups - Check out the meet up's in Google Local Guides Toronto community.
