Hello All!
Recently I've been trying to build up a local guide for Google edits and reviews. Does anyone have any type of metric that tells us how long till the account is trusted as a guide? Such as how many answers, reviews, even age, is needed to be trusted as a local guide?
 
The problem is that doing such activities at fast rate gets profile ghosted aka. reviews ghosting.
 
I have been trying to keep it slow and give it an actual identity (actual emails, gchats, get served ads, youtube, etc); how long do you think it generally needs to age before it won't get ghosted?
 
Sometimes genuine Local Guide also get suspended. Its depend on Google if anything suspicious was found it will ban the ID. I have many 2010-2011 GMail IDs converted into Local Guide working on it from past 2 years and 10 out of 3000 got susppended.
 
Yes, you have to do lot of more activities supported by google like youtube gmail calender photos and so on. Even level 8 -9 local guides are also suspended by Google. And due to some Bug in Google many reviews are getting deleted from GMB. So if you have made a local guide today, it may happen that Google drop the reviews and points drop and local guide badge doesn't exist anymore.

So be careful while doing it and try to use local IP of that place for which you are generating local guide.
 
The account has aged for a month or so now. It is on a local IP (vps) and we have had just regular activity on it. I did let it get some Google Maps activity before even applying for the local guide badge (finding food, directions, asking and answering questions). I have worked on this account to make it look like a regular joe. One thing I have racked my head about and can't figure out is how to give it natural location movement and natural mobile sign ins on a local IP.
 
Is it possible to have multiple G Accounts and verify your own edits? Or do you think that would fail?
That is possible if you use 1 Brooklyn, NY ip and few more from same area. But, still this like lucky draw.

By the way, I did same and had rare success. Except from creating corporate offices, malls , public places.

Do you have an idea how many people need to verify a change to a GMB before the change takes place?
 
There are many levels in google local guide if you go on answering you will reach different levels.
