Product Expert status and points
There are five statuses in the Product Experts Program: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Product Experts become eligible for status upgrades upon reaching specific point thresholds in each Google Help Community they participate in.

| Bronze Member* | 100 points, 1 Recommended Answer |
| Silver Product Expert | 300 points, 3 Recommended Answers |
| Gold Product Expert | 1000 points, 10 Recommended Answers |
| Platinum Product Expert | 2500 points, 25 Recommended Answers |

*Note that Bronze Member status is granted automatically. Every status afterwards must be changed by a Community Manager. Community Managers look for enthusiastic users who provide helpful, accurate answers in their communities.
Alumni: members who are no longer active, and for any reason have to step aside from the Community but were previously recognized for their helpfulness will be acknowledged as Alumni. They will have their previous contributions recognized through an official Alumni badge.
