Put your guiding skills to the test. Help your community with Maps.

A few ways you can support businesses in your community
Small businesses are part of what make our communities unique and now, more than ever, they need our support. To celebrate International Small Business Day, we've put together a few easy ways Local Guides can use Google Maps to be there for their community.
Report a place as opened or closed
Many businesses have reopened or closed lately—report the latest closure information about your local businesses on Maps to help others find available services. Note: only available on mobile.
Add helpful photos or reviews
Including a photo of a dish you ordered, the new menu or the business storefront itself alongside reviews can help the business get future customers
Update business hours
For some businesses, their new hours might not be up to date online—help out others looking for this information by editing business hours. Note: only available on mobile.
Update information about a place
Help others know all the ways businesses are adapting to meet their needs—from delivery options to contactless payment—by suggesting edits. Note: only available on mobile.
