What is the Google Local Guide Program?
At Level 6 I have over 1.3 million views of my postings. My reviews come in really high up with business Map searches as a trustworthy source of information.
You're lookin' at the face of one of the most powerful business influencers in town... according to Google!
Check it out...
"Guides act as an army of fact-checkers and researchers with boots on the ground around the world. Guides hit the streets specifically searching for, noting down, and uploading local business information in real-time.
They are a hive mind for the search engine, helping it to ensure its Maps product is more accurate, more up-to-date and superior to rival offerings. It’s not a stretch to say that the work Guides do in their towns and cities around the world powers the whole Maps ecosystem.
'User Generated Content' underpins the function of Google Local Guides.
Guides are people who write reviews, share photos, answer questions, add or edit places and check facts... millions of people around the world rely on the information shared to decide where to go and what to do.
This makes Google Local Guides important local influencers, able to help shape which local businesses are popular, thanks to the trust consumers naturally place in information shared by peers, rather than brands."
