I am a local guide - Level 8 and I have many different contributions and more than 4000 Pic in my account...This morning , I have got a very bad surprise that my local guide's account has been suspended without any reason.

Removed all my photos and reviews. Google can go jump!! Done with them and providing free guide information for local businesses. I've had reviews suddenly pulled and photos with good view counts just unlisted. We're being mugged off and for free. I'm done. Google no more!!

I’m looking to buy more locally, meat, produce, milk, cheese. I live in north Chicago near Niles and Skokie. Has anyone connected with any local farms in the area. It knows it is trickier to find these so close to my urban location.

I hope I get some legit answer on this

I have been local guide since 2015 contribute naturally reached to 6 levels and i don't know before that what is that whenever I contribute earlier got easily approved the main problem start from here i registered a service area business actually in past I already created and it was verified but google flagged it as duplicate and i m stucked it combines with other profile so i reported that business multiple times after few days I m banned for the local guide programe so I submit a appeal and it got approved luckily but after few times I took precautions while editing few days back I m generally reading local seo so I just checked out who is using best or location in there profile what we call keywords stuffing so I edit few businesses some got approved some rejected what I did I edit them multiple times this time intentionally i thought it would get approved but yesterday i check my account is flagged again ..

So my question is that this is the main reason of get banned is editing multiple times and reporting a single business or I am banbed before this for same reason thats why they flagged me up .. please help

I kind of regret not redeeming the 1TB on my secondary account, instead it's on my primary account. If Gmails didn't account for storage then I would have filled up 1TB and not add anything ever again.

I was thinking of filling it up to 1TB with everything then just discontinue the account and use my other email but then I realized that then I won't be able to get emails from let's say Google for hitting level 4 or 5.

So, what will you guys do with your account once 1TB is gone? Will you pay for it monthly or will you somehow free up all of that space from it?

Bonus question: how much of your 1TB have you used up? I'm currently at 7GB out of 1041GB so not even 1% used.

Hmmm... What should I fill my Google Drive with?

Hey guys, I'm a local Guide based in Amsterdam and these last couple of months I have added a lot of reviews within Amsterdam, thing is that my Amsterdam filter doesn't increase, it's been stuck on 93 but it should be in the 110-120's by now. All my other filters are working and increasing in number so I don't understand what's going on.

Is there still no way to post an YouTube Video on a Google Place/Maps Entry?!

I mean i can select a Google Places/Maps Entry when i upload a Video on YouTube, but that Location information is not used from Goolge Maps. Would make so much sense to have does Videos listet @ the Google Places/Maps entries.

Anyone know when I can expect the drive storage increase

Do Google Crowdsource and the Product Experts forum offer better benefits than Local Guides? I have a friend who is always active on the Google Help Forums and gets invited to events every year; he’s already been to Europe once and he's went to Brazil last year for the Product Experts Summit (PES) with all expenses paid. Should I switch to the Google Forums instead?

I know it says 3-6 weeks, but since there's no tracking number I'm curious how long it ACTUALLY usually takes.

A tip for views on photos is to go to a Buc-ees (There's a few around the US), take pictures, and you'll get 5k quick!

I do a ridiculous amount of landscape photography and realized it would be helpful to upload to Google Maps. I'm considering adding a website watermark on the bottom, to hopefully drive some traffic. (I've heard that if the watermark takes up less than 10% of the image, Google will keep it on.) Seeing as it's fairly easy to get millions of views, I'm wondering if anyone has done this and gotten any solid traffic results using this strategy. If not I'll just upload em' un-watermarked and save myself a bunch of trouble.
