Local Guides Connect – Help Desk – Local Guides Connect
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/02/01
Reminder to self: Local Guides Nederland moved their [WayBack] G+ community over to [WayBack] Local Guides Connect – Help Desk – Local Guides Connect which is part of [WayBack] Local Guides Connect and powered by [WayBack] Powered by Lithium | Lithium.
Since that is not part of any other social media platform I subscribe to, I will likely only see new stuff when I actively go to that place: hopefully that is more than once a year.

When you loose your Google Guides level, still can post reviews, but do not have access to the forums any more…

Via a private share: If you ever loose your Google Guides level for no apparent reason, still can post reviews, but cannot post to the Google Guides forums, then just mail Google. They can usually fix the situation.

Google Maps Local Guides Level 4 benefits can take a while

Just so you know:

I’ve read reports that it seems to take 2 or + weeks for the 1TB promotion to take effect.

In practice it’s usually not that bad as most of the times it’s a matter of days not weeks though it can take up to 5 weeks.
It’s nice to be a Google Local Guide as you learn a lot of new things and people that way for instance through the Local Guide events.
If you’re interested, read Level 0-4 in 40 days, what I’ve learned from Google Local Guides – Pocketables
I only discovered about this a while ago as it was early last year for Google Replacing City Experts with Local Guides Program | Understanding Google My Business & Local Search
What really helps contributing is to view your Google Maps Timeline
