How to Collect "Points"

[SummerFlower12]

Hey y'all, this is me, SummerFlower12.  

I just became a new guide- Level 2, and am wondering how, on dear planet Earth, to ever earn more than 15 points.  

I'd love it if y'all would reply to me!  

Thanks-

SummerFlower12  🙂

Hey @SummerFlower12. There are actually a few (fun!) ways to earn points while contributing to Maps. Check out the article below for more details:

Points, levels, and badging

Here's a snippet for clarity:

Local Guides points

Earn points by contributing content to Google Maps. Score a place with ratings, describe your experience with reviews, share photographs and videos, provide insights with answers, respond to questions about a place, update information with place edits, add missing places, or verify information by checking facts.

Maps contribution	Points earned
Review	5 points per review
Rating	1 point per rating
Photo	5 points per photo
Video	7 points per video
Answer	1 point per answer
Respond to Q&As	3 points per response
Edit	5 points per edit
Place added	15 points per place added
Fact checked	1 point per fact checked

Good answer @iyudhi

To get 15 points all you need to do is add one new location to the map!

Or 3 photos of an existing location.

Good luck
