Your photos reached a new record on Google Maps!

Folks,

 

I post photos of my visits to various market yards in India and my 1,312 photos have received 450k views. At every 50k milestone, Google Local Guides (<noreply-local(dash)guides(at)google(dot)com>) used to send me an email with "

Congratulations! Millions of people rely on photos like yours when they search for places. Thanks for sharing your photos with the world.

 

I haven't received this email after clocking 450k milestone and wonder if anyone can shed light on this issue.

 

Thanks

Congrats on hitting such high view counts for your photos, @SocialM! I suggest waiting it out a little and the milestone email may just be in your inbox before you know it 🙂

@SocialM The emails actually get sent out once per week, not based on the milestones you cross. Sometimes Google skips a week or two, though. If you don't have a number of views record, then it often picks other things to highlight, like people that liked your reviews.

 

Oh, and I heard that you have to add at least one picture per week to get the email. Maybe that's the issue.

Hi JosephD, 

 

Your note is most insightful and helps explain the delayed email response. I will start posting on a weekly basis and hopefully will address the issue.

 

Warm regards
