There are many local guides in the world but do you guys think all are on connect ?
No , recently we had a survey through google docs from whatsapp and facebook groups and pages of all local guides in India and we have got 100 responses and here is a pie chart of people on connect and people who are not.
There are 18% local guides who are not on connect, its important that we inspire and tell about connect to the people who are not on connect .
Its not restricted to India there might be that 18 % all around the world who are a very good local guides but have no idea about local guide connect .
So lets talk and explain to local guides we know and inspire them to join connect during meeetups , make youtube videos about connect , Google official pages in all social medium platforms must give a announcements and advantages of connect .
so local guides lets do it in the next food crawl meetups.
Thanks and regards

I try to answer on other channels, as like as FB, when i see maps related questions, linking directly LGC posts.
But I think we are approaching Lithium capacity, so maybe some changes have to be made.

I remember I was on level 5 (old point system )and I totally unaware of local guides connect. ....and then after an email from team i logged in ...
Yes there is many things need to manage and update or team should send every local guide an email who is not on connect. ..
I saw many of level 9 local guides are not on connect but they are very active on Google maps.
Thanks

@NarenChandra yeh true. I did few knowledge sharing sessions and educated the importance of LG Connect. also sharing/linking some important posts and answers directly to LG connect from FB and HO chats.

@NarenChandra I appreciate your thoughts on getting more Local Guides on Connect! I've gone ahead to include a note on your image that the information is not collected by Google to avoid confusion. 🙂
