Till now, Google has emphasized the engagements and quantity of reviews, not the precision and quality of reviews.
Not all the local guide reviews are relevant, many do the best, observing the review a mark written by a local guide is not the sign of the quality of the review. In any case, the feature of coming to the nine test markets concentrated on the local guide profile and photographs. Rather than improving the expressions, it will be helpful to improve the accuracy and quality of the reviews.
