@TraciC wrote:The Local Guides team recently made some changes to the community moderator program and I wanted to share some updates with you, though the full details can be found in our Help Center:
- New community moderators are encouraged to view our newly-created best practices video which will replace our previously-offered training Hangouts.
- Among other basic requirements, the Local Guides team will now only support Local Guides communities that at have at least 50 members and have consistent community activity around the Local Guides program.
- These guidelines apply to new and existing community owners. For supported communities that have less than 50 members, we have been in touch with the community owners.
- Supported community moderators will receive access to an exclusive, private board here on Local Guides Connect.
I know I speak for the entire team when I say that we are looking forward to supporting more communities and seeing you in upcoming Hangouts. I know you may have some questions, so below are a few answers to some questions we anticipated. We’ll update the below FAQs as needed so feel free to come back to this post.
FAQs
Where can I see all communities supported by the Local Guides team?
You can see the My Map of supported communities on the Local Guides website (g.co/localguides).
Does my community have to be on Google+?
You’re welcome to create a community on any platform. Before creating one, be sure to check this My Map managed by the Local Guides team to see if a supported community already exists in your area.
How do I get 50 members?
Posting great content about your area will most likely attract new members to your community. Share about your community with your friends and fellow Local Guides, but don’t spam other communities (or Connect) about it. It’s OK to share about your community but be sure to do it when relevant. If you're Level 5, you are also welcome to include a link to your community in your signature on Connect.
How do you select a community for support?
Please complete the application form available in the Help Center. Some basic requirements include:
- Being owned by a Local Guide Level 3+
- At least 50 members
- Consistent community activity around the Local Guides program
- That your area does not already have a community supported by the Local Guides team
I’ve filled out an application but I haven’t heard from the team.
The Local Guides team reviews applications on a rolling (regular basis) and due to the volume of applications, will only contact those who have been selected to receive support.
How big or small of an area should my community cover?
Your community may be for an entire country or for a city, but we recommend creating a community where conversation will flow freely and people will be able to meet-up or find one another easily and where you, as an owner, have some hands-on experience to drive engagement and conversations. Some of the most popular communities are for entire countries, and some are for small islands. 🙂 Remember, the Local Guides team only supports one community moderator (one owner) per area.
What are the perks of being a supported community moderator?
Supported community moderators receive:
- Inclusion on our My Map, featured on our website and social media
- Access to a private board in Connect for supported community moderators
- A special badge in Connect
- Invitations to monthly Hangouts with the Local Guides team
- Access to design assets and templates including a profile photo template to show your Local Guides status across your social media channels
How long will you support my community?
The Local Guides team will support your community as long as you follow the Local Guides program rules and your community follows our community guidelines.
Do other moderators in my community also receive support?
The Local Guides team only supports one community moderator (one owner) per area. You are welcome to share learnings and best practices from the Hangouts and private forum with your fellow moderators as nothing shared is confidential.
I see that you currently only offer community support in English and Spanish but I am not fluent in English or Spanish. What about me?
We are always working on adding more features and benefits to the Local Guides program, including additional languages. At this time, we are only able to offer support for English and Spanish Local Guides. If you meet the basic requirements, we encourage you to complete an application as if we offer additional languages, we’ll reach out to you first.
What happens if I am selected?
The Local Guides team will send you an email to let you know that you have been selected to receive support.
Is this the same thing as being a Connect moderator?
No, a Connect moderator is a Local Guide who moderates Connect alongside the Local Guides team. You can learn more about it in this post.
Why are there communities if Connect exists?
Local Guides Connect is a single, global community moderated by Googlers where you can connect with Local Guides around the corner or across the country. The team is in the process of rolling out additional features and elements to make the experience even better. The team supports select Local Guides communities on all platforms where people feel most comfortable connecting with one another. Local Guides are still encouraged to connect online and offline with various tools made available via Connect and the Local Guides website.
Where can I find more information?
In the Local Guides Help Center.

Thanks @TraciC for the update. Looking forward to join the supported community group. I am trying my best to add the local guides to the community.
