Introduction:
This post is all about Local Guide photo contributions on Google Maps and more specifically, about the views these photos gain. The post consists of a series of leaderboards showcasing the view counts of Local Guides at different levels and no you don't have to be a "top gun" Level10 Local Guide with a mega million views to participate as the leaderboards have been specifically designed so that Local Guides at any level can join in, and you'll see many do. So, whether you're an entry level Local Guide or from a small country, town or village, or a top level Local Guide from London, New York, Paris or New Delhi, you can join in and it's simple to do!
Why are photo views important?
Well we all know that as Local Guides we don't get points for the views that our photos generate. However, views are important as they give us an indication on how we are impacting on our communities at the Local Guide level. They give us a good indication on how many people we have helped make a decision about a place to visit or a meal to have. So while we don't get points for views, we certainly get an awesome feeling when we see that our photos are being viewed by so many people and being visible across Google services, like Search means that our photo counts can increase significantly and you will see here on the leaderboards how significant these photo counts can get.
Is this just a competition?
While there is an inherent competitive element within them, the aim of these leaderboards is to motivate us, help us to monitor our contributions and performance, and show us how to improve and make better contributions so that we achieve better results, all in a fun and enjoyable way! If this can be done then these leaderboards will have achieved their objective, their mission will be accomplished!
Summary
These leaderboard posts are more than just seeing who has the best photos or the most photo views, far from it! Being able to look at our photo performance in different ways as well as in relative terms to that of other Local Guides and our peers in a fun and friendly way, these posts show us how we can improve our personal contributions, improve the quality of being a Local Guide, and thus lead to better quality information on Google Maps; it really is a win-win-win.

Top 100 Average Views per Photo Leaderboard - All participating Local Guides (September, 2022)
In this leaderboard, the photo views achievement of participating Local Guides is shown in the order of average views per photo. The essential idea here is that the average views per photo gives a good overall single measure of the quality of a Local Guide's photo contribution on Google Maps; the higher the average views per photo, the higher the overall quality of a Local Guide's photos. Of course this is an average figure and there can be problems with averages but still I think it's a nice simple way of looking at the overall quality of our photo contribution on Google Maps. What's really interesting from this leaderboard is that some Local Guides show much better average views per photo than Local Guides at higher Local Guide levels! For example, I'm a Level 10 Local Guide yet there are many Local Guides at lower LG levels that are out performing me!
If we accept that the average views per photo gives a good overall measure of a Local Guide's photo contributions on Google Maps then one way to improve your overall photo performance is to have less but better quality photos: the more views you have for a smaller number of photos will result in a higher average views per photo and a good way to achieve this is to have less but better quality photos for each review.
