Google Local Guide

Hello, I am new to the Local Guides Connect community and I have a question.

Do you get any privileges/rewards for achieving certain levels as a Local Guide?

Thank you very much 🙂

Best Regards,

DrWitt.

Re: Google Local Guide

Hi @DrWitt

The main reward is helping other people with your reviews, edits and photos in the same way that you are helped by the same from other people. Being a Local Guide is an altruistic undertaking. Of course it strengthens the data held by Google and makes Maps a better product but that is still an advantage for the people who use the product.

Each perk only runs for a certain amount of time. It is your responsibility as a Local Guide to understand the limitations and keep yourself up to date. Keep an eye out for announcements for new perks.

Re: Google Local Guide

@DrWitt Main reason behind making local guide platform is to place each and every hidden destination online .

It's is to help worldwide peoples to search the locations .

However, levels determine your contributions and google host a Universal local guide Summit every year in which you also can participate .
