Google Upgrades Rewards System to Earn Points Boosting User Reviews

Many years in the past, Google created a program from the mould on the Yelp Professional Group referred to as City Experts. The idea behind it was to accelerate the acquisition of “high quality” reviews for local businesses.

The first plan made available benefits based on the amount of testimonials/reviews being submitted. After a certain number of reviews, say 50 reviews, for instance, members reached to be a part of a new Google+ local community and were being made eligible to be invited to exclusive local events and more. Reviews have been needed to fulfil good quality rules. With all the adjustments away from Google+, it has additionally refurbished its incentives. Furthermore, the company is trying to extend the involvement along with the kinds of written content gathered.

Listed here are the particular levels as well as new point system:



As showcased in the picture above, the reward system now calculates the earned points in various ways, not just by contributing reviews. Now, Google affirms that one can earn points and the next level up by so many ways like by writing reviews, adding new places, uploading photos, fixing any out dated information, and responding simple requests/demands. And moreover, each sort of contribution would be worth one point, so now you have an option to earn up to five points per place.

Putting up the matter in simpler terms, Google has broadened the features of Local Guides to not only giving reviews, photos and tips but also to aid a flag and correct unfinished or imprecise facts.
