This month: share where you shop!

Former Google Contributor

Want to support your favorite local businesses? This month, let’s celebrate the places where you love to shop. To support the effort, we’ll be sharing useful tips, spotlighting fun stores, and featuring the some of your best photos.

 

This November, share where you shopThis November, share where you shopPeople all around the world search for stores on Google Maps. When you add photos to places, you let others see what they’re like and what’s for sale.

 

Here’s how to give an in-store photo tour:

  • Take a wide shot when you first walk in to show the space
  • Post photos of shelves or racks with products on display
  • Add close-ups of items you love

Our photo lead, @AnnaDickson, has more great tips for taking indoor photos. Keep them in mind while you’re shopping and sharing photos on Google Maps. Remember to write captions for your photos to tell people about the shops and items.

 

Be sure to add your photos on social, too, with #LocalGuides. Each week, we’ll feature some of our favorites here on Connect and on our social channels. You can even host or join a meet-up to explore stores in your area, adding photos and updating info along the way.

 

One other thing: We understand you can run into challenges when you’re taking photos in someone’s business. Before you shoot, take a moment to review our community policy if you’re not sure about taking images in businesses or have any other questions about interactions with business owners.  

 
There’s more coming soon! Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Connect to see where Local Guides shop around the world.

I'm wondering if you need to get a "photo release" for photographs you take of someone's store?  Does Google Local Guides provide that?

It is also a good idea to hit those small local businesses that could use the exposure.

Question: the photos will remain on Google Maps for a long time I asume? But I think that in a years time the content / assortment of the shop could be very different. Shopper might say: "Hi, I came for these lovely blue shoes photographed by Adevos". Shop-owner: "Sorry, those shoes we sold a year ago. They are long gone! Long long gone."  🙂  Would this be a problem?
