Who is qualified to be a Local Guide?
In order to participate in the Program as a Local Guide, you must:
- have a valid Google account;
- be at least 18 years of age; and
- have signed up to participate in the Program here.
Organizations, brands and businesses are not eligible for the program.
Local Guide Levels Benefits.
As a Local Guide, you will be placed into a level based on your participation. Each level may give access to different benefits. You will be placed in a level based on how much local content you contribute to Google, including how many High Quality reviews you've written on Google since creating your Google account, as described in our benefits page. Level requirements and descriptions are subject to change, at Google’s sole discretion.
A review is considered “High Quality” when it adheres to the guidelines described in our help center or as otherwise provided by Google.Local Guides may be eligible for various benefits and rewards as part of the Program, depending on their level and location.
Local Guides in a Local Guide City may be eligible for additional benefits. Google may update the Local Guide Cities at any time.
From time to time, Google may elect, at its sole discretion, promote your membership in the Program, for example, by including a Local Guide badge or icon on your profile or reviews. Benefits are offered at the discretion of Google and its affiliates. Individuals who do not meet any eligibility requirements specified by Google or its partners (for example, age requirements) will not have access to or be given certain benefits granted to their level or within their Local Guide City.
Some Local Guides may receive invitations to attend special events held by Google in your Local Guide’s City ("Events"). At some Events, you may be permitted to bring a guest (as indicated by Google). Event invitations are limited to only Local Guides (and, if applicable, their guests) who meet the legal drinking age in their Local Guide City. You must share these terms with your guest prior to bringing your guest to an Event.
Benefits are subject to change. Learn more about current benefits here.

- residents of US embargoed countries;
- ordinarily resident in US embargoed countries;
- otherwise prohibited by applicable export controls and sanctions programs; and
- government officials, including (1) government employees; (2) candidates for public office; and (3) employees of government-owned or government-controlled companies, public international organizations, and political parties.

As such, if you do organize or arrange to meet independently with other Local Guides, you agree and acknowledge that Google is not responsible for organizing, financing, supporting or otherwise facilitating your meeting. Google may, at its discretion, allow you to post details of a meeting on Google products or services, but such events must be clearly marked as not sponsored by Google. Google is not, in any way, liable for any loss or damage suffered any meetings.
