Growth & Trends

What do these metrics mean?

Click on a category to learn more about each metric.

Photo views indicate how many times a Local Guide's uploaded images have been viewed on Google Maps. A high number suggests significant exposure and reach of the photos.

Photos shows the total number of images this Local Guide has uploaded to Google Maps. A larger photo count generally indicates higher activity and dedication to documenting various places.

Videos indicates how many videos a Local Guide has shared on Google Maps. Videos can provide more immersive insights into places and experiences.

Ø Views per Photo indicates how many views a photo receives on average. A high number often suggests high-quality and well-visible photos from a Local Guide. A low number, on the other hand, may indicate that many low-quality photos have been uploaded.

As with all statistics, context is key. If a Local Guide hasn’t uploaded photos for a long time and then suddenly uploads many at once (e.g., after an international trip), the value will initially drop because the total number of photos increases sharply. What matters is that the average views per photo stabilize over time or, ideally, even increase.

Points represent the reward system within the Local Guides program. Users earn points for various contributions, such as photos, reviews, or adding new places. A higher point count leads to a higher Local Guides level.

Reviews are written texts that a Local Guide posts about places on Google Maps. They offer other users helpful insights into sights, restaurants, or businesses.

Answers indicates how often a Local Guide responds to questions from other users about specific places. This interaction helps clarify inquiries quickly.

Edits involve updating location information, addresses, or other details. Each correction improves the accuracy of Google Maps.

Places added shows how many new locations a Local Guide has contributed to Google Maps. This helps expand the map's coverage, enabling others to discover more relevant spots.

Roads added indicates how many new or updated roads a Local Guide has mapped. This improves routing and traffic information for everyone.

Facts checked refers to the corrections and confirmations of place information. Each verified entry helps maintain accurate data on Google Maps.
