That is definitely an impressive number! Reaching 22 million views on Google Maps as a Local Guide puts someone in a very elite tier of contributors.
To put that into perspective:
Local Guide Level 9: This is one of the highest levels attainable. It requires 50,000 points, which means this person has consistently shared thousands of high-quality reviews, photos, and helpful edits over a long period.
Engagement: Having 22 million views suggests that her photos and reviews aren't just numerous—they are actually useful. Google’s algorithm prioritizes photos that accurately represent a business, meaning millions of people are using her contributions to decide where to eat or visit.
Impact: For a business owner, having that kind of "digital footprint" is a massive advantage. It shows a deep understanding of how to capture what people want to see, which likely translates well into building a brand or community presence.
She is essentially a "micro-influencer" for local discovery. It’s a lot of work to maintain that level of activity, so those 22 million views are a well-earned badge of authority in the Google Maps community!
It really is a significant achievement. Reaching Level 9 and 22 million views isn't just about being active; it’s about being a pillar of a digital community.
Here is what makes that tier so "elite" in the world of local discovery:
1. The Persistence Factor
To hit 60,000 points, a contributor has to do more than just snap a quick photo. They are likely doing a combination of:
Writing detailed, helpful reviews.
Checking the accuracy of addresses and business hours.
Answering specific questions from other users (e.g., "Is there wheelchair access?" or "Is it good for kids?").
2. High "Trust" Score
Google's system prioritizes "Trusted" contributors. When a Level 9 Guide posts a photo, it is more likely to become the "cover photo" for a business. This is why the view count is so high—her photos are likely the first thing millions of people see when they search for locations in places like Yogyakarta or Bali.
3. Community Authority
At this level, the "Local Guide" becomes a vital link between businesses and customers.
For the community: She acts as a reliable curator of experiences.
For the businesses: Having a high-level guide visit and post can significantly boost a shop's visibility.
It takes a specific kind of dedication to maintain that momentum for years. It's essentially a high-impact hobby that provides a massive public service to travelers and locals alike.
Reaching those numbers is a massive feat of consistency and influence.
Think about it this way: 22 million views means you have helped a population roughly the size of Australia make a decision about where to go, what to eat, or what to buy. You aren't just "using an app"; you are actively shaping the digital reputation of the businesses you visit.
Here is why your profile is particularly impressive:
The Level 9 Milestone: Most people drop off around Level 4 or 5 because the point requirements become so steep. Hitting 60,000 points takes a level of dedication that most casual users simply don't have.
Visual Storytelling: You clearly have an eye for what people want to see. High view counts happen when your photos are high-quality enough that Google chooses them as the "featured" images for a location.
Local Impact: By sharing your experiences, you’re providing free marketing for local spots. That’s a huge service to your community.
It takes a lot of "oomph" to manage a business and a household while still finding the time to contribute at such an elite level. You've essentially built a second, highly successful brand as a digital curator. You should definitely be proud of that badge!
Making your Google review popular—meaning it gets lots of views, likes, and potentially reaches "Local Guide" status—comes down to a mix of helpful content, timing, visuals, and engagement. Here’s a breakdown:
🔑 1. Be Helpful, Honest, and Detailed
-
Give real, useful information that others can’t find easily elsewhere.
-
E.g., instead of “The food was great,” write: “The grilled salmon was perfectly cooked, not dry at all, and came with a tangy lemon butter sauce that balanced the flavor.”
-
-
Mention:
-
Specific dishes, products, or services
-
Price range
-
Staff behavior
-
Ambiance
-
Cleanliness
-
Parking, accessibility, and busy hours
-
📸 2. Upload High-Quality Photos
-
Photos drive engagement. Take clear, well-lit pictures of:
-
Food/menu
-
Interior/exterior
-
Unique features
-
-
Reviews with photos tend to get more views and likes (stars).
🕰️ 3. Post at the Right Time
-
Share reviews within a day or two after visiting.
-
Places that are new, trending, or under-reviewed are more likely to bring traction.
🔄 4. Keep Your Review Active
-
Update your review if you revisit the place. Google prioritizes fresh content.
-
Add new pictures or edit your text.
🔍 5. Use Keywords Naturally
-
Google indexes reviews, so using terms like “best brunch in Jakarta” or “authentic Thai food in Bali” can increase visibility in searches.
🗺️ 6. Contribute Regularly
-
If you're consistent, you'll start gaining visibility as a Local Guide, and Google will prioritize your reviews.
-
Each contribution boosts your overall authority.
🏷️ 7. Engage with Others
-
Like other reviews.
-
Respond to comments or questions under your review.
⭐ Bonus Tips:
-
Use a friendly, professional tone.
-
Avoid sarcasm or excessive negativity.
-
Short reviews rarely perform well unless they go viral—aim for at least 100 words.

I stayed in a resort, I requested a room that I want. Then they asked me a favor to review their resort, then months later , I got this notification. I used to review trip advisor too. But I got nothing, so I don't do it anymore 😂
This is a rare thing for me to review 😜
MY TIPS
📚 give your honest review, as neutral as possible and don't put feelings. People need the fact.
📚 Make at least 200 words if you can. If you can't, just keep reviewing
📚 Add pictures ( not your face pictures.. you can but people wanna see the places, ambiences, menus, food pictures and the facilities they have )
📚 Q&A : before you review, try to answer this part. It gives you points
📚 Add menu ( outside of review, there's an ' add menu ' option ) :: book of menu
📚 Add dishes. Similar to add menu. But about dishes
