Launch ToolLevel Up Your Local Guide Profile
Welcome to Local Guide Tools, the ultimate companion website for dedicated Google Maps contributors. Earning points and levelling up your Local Guide profile requires consistent, high-quality contributions. However, finding places that actually need your help in dense, highly-mapped cities can be a challenge. That is where our web apps come in.
How the Missing Photos & Reviews Finders Work
Our scanners allow you to filter for businesses with zero, or very few, photos and reviews. The tools utilise the powerful Google Places API to scan your specific location, neighbourhood, or city for businesses with incomplete profiles. Adding the first high-quality photo to a new business is one of the best ways to earn points and help small business owners establish their digital storefront.
Suggesting Edits with the Missing Info Finder
It is incredibly common to find local shops that have forgotten to add their phone numbers, websites, or regular opening hours. Submitting an approved edit for these missing details provides immediate assistance to future customers navigating via Maps. Our tool isolates these specific locations so you don't have to click through hundreds of complete profiles to find them.
Verifying Wheelchair Accessibility
This is an incredibly vital but often overlooked aspect of Maps. Use our accessibility mapper to find nearby physical storefronts that have unconfirmed entrance data. This allows you to go out and physically verify if they are wheelchair accessible, making the real world easier to navigate for everyone.
Tips for Mapping on Road Trips
Hitting the road is one of the best ways to uncover unmapped territory. If you are driving out through the regional roads of Victoria, for example, you will often find rural storefronts, lookouts, or country bakeries that haven't been fully documented. Run a quick scan when you stop for coffee to see if they need their hours updated or a fresh storefront photo to help future travellers.
