Google will reward people for posting local reviews

16 November, 2015
Google maps should be your go-to for restaurants and reviews. This is why Google is competing with other user-contributed review sites like Zagat and Yelp to create a more wholesome experience using Google Maps. This way, users can search for places’ reviews and how to get to them with one app.

Good idea, but I actually REALLY liked Google Maps and the review system there without any additional motivation. It was like a growing community of advices. Then they tied it with Google Plus, and it went dead. :(

                    How do we see the points after reviewing the place or adding a place ?

                      yes but what the points get me? the maps for egypt on the app is a wreck, lots of mistakes and lost of missing places
