New local guide

[Tara_Milligan]

Hey there ! 

I'm a semi new Local guide I started my journey in Hamilton Ontario where I was on a vacation visiting family. I joined the team in hopes of being able to help others know when a store has been closed down without having to actually go to the locations and be disappointointed themselves, that journey quickly turned to me having a blast sharing photos of stores,restaurants,churches , hospitals , schools , you name it as i travelled my way back to Alberta where I am currently living,  have over 50,000 pictures on Google maps alone. But recently I have been working towards getting my google Reviews up and getting likes/reaches on them but am realizing that I don't get a whole lot of likes it says they veiw them and find it helpful but I get no feedback from anyone. Just wondering if there is any way of connecting to an Edmonton community of other local guides or maybe just an online community of happy guides willing to give eachother love and support?

I am a local guide living in Edmonton. I am having the same thought. It would be wonderful if we can have a group in Edmonton.

Hi @Tara_Milligan,

There's a great way to connect with Local Guides in your area and that is by organizing a meet-up on our website. Once your meet-up is approved, it will automatically appear as a post in the Meet-ups section of Connect for other Local Guides to participate.

To learn more, check this How to Organize a Local Guides Meet-Up article.

You can also search in Connect for mentions of your city/country to find posts that have that name in the title, body of the post, or the location tag. Feel free to jump into these conversations and engage with the Local Guides near you!
