Connections between GMB

[#1]

An interesting idea would be for a GMB to be able to follow another GMB, or to be able to recommend it.
Include any field or segment star.
So a customer can see some recommendation from a company that has one authority indicating another.
It would be another way for the companies themselves to help spread the word about Google's work, just as local guides already do, but with greater authority.
For example:
I have a hamburger shop and could indicate where I buy meat or bread that I make my sandwiches.
Or if I have a company that injects plastics, I can indicate where I get the material for this service.

Hi @riveso

Thanks for sharing your idea.

I don't think it is very much related to Connect or Local Guides. So you may want to approach the GMB help pages or the GMB forum here.

I believe most of the fake reviews on Google Maps are there because business owners want to unfairly harm their competitors or undertake spammy self-promotion. Your proposal would probably be seen as a new spam opportunity for such businesses.

And I suspect business owners will be hesitant to share where they buy their ingredients. Here it would be considered commercial secrets.

All the best

Hi @riveso,

Thanks for sharing your idea with us.

Please be informed that I am going to relabel your post to "Other" since what you are suggesting is related to Google My Business.

Thanks

Hello @riveso,

We would like to thank you for your idea, but we did not manage to implement it in time. According to our Idea Exchange policies we are going to close your idea.

Local Guides can still vote and we can come back to this Idea at a later point.
