Being a Local Guide for Google

Google Local Guides is a community that review places all over the world and helps to improve Google Maps. So I decided to become a contributor or a Local Guide because there are some nice benefits in becoming a guide.

Each profile will get points, levels and badges. All those details here. I'm level two at the moment.

Being a Local Guide for Google


Here are my current benefits based on my level:


  • Level 1: 0+ pointsGet the inside scoop with our monthly newsletter
  • Join Google-hosted workshops and Hangouts
  • In select countries, enter into exclusive contests for Local Guides
  • Join the conversation at Local Guides Connect



  • Level 2: 5+ points
  • Get early access to new Google products and features
  • Promote your own meet-ups on the Local Guides calendar


You can check out the other benefits you may get as you increase in level, here.

I think it really worth it, as higher level you really start to get some awesome benefits like free google drive for 1 year or get feature on Google's official channels. Overall this a great thing to have as an SEO, clients would be impressed and you'll be even closer to Google.

What do you guys think about the benefits of becoming a Google Local Guide?
Any of you already doing it?

Oh this is interesting Cristian, I am so going to check this out. I bet you that nobody in my country (or very few people anyway) are doing this! I might just like to try this out. Considering that it is Google Maps and they are obviously wanting more information I hope this will be available in my country!

I'm going to check this out tomorrow, thanks Cristian!

I'm sure it's available and I'm sure there are people doing it. That's what I thought at first about my country, but actually there are quite a number of people review really unexpected places with high quality reviews. I'm almost level 3 now, let me know on your progress Lynne! And good luck!

Hey Cristian

Ok so I registered on Tuesday and forgot about it, then when I was doing some errands yesterday I decided to load up Google Maps... and I am nearly Level 2 already!

I find this just way cool.

Is this still available in 2018. This sounds really really interesting. Something I would definitely want to sign up for. I would also want to move up to level 4. Definitely going to sign up for this.I also hope that they are more benefits then the were in 2016 with Google which is now the worlds biggest search engine every little helps. i hope this means getting access to the algorithm so that you are ahead of the game.
