Directed here from Google help.

I emailed Google to ask why I am shadow banned after all the content I posted was good. They directed me here. Can anyone tell me why I am being blocked?

Hi @Audigsp

Welcome to Connect. Nice to meet you!

I can not say exactly why, but I can help you understand and learn how to fix the issues that likely cause your problems.

I can confirm from your public profile that you have added 344 reviews and only 1 of them is public. Can’t get much worse.

Google has automatic filters that hide your reviews so only you can see them. This can happen when some of your reviews violate the review guidelines.

Read about typical review guideline violations here. And please see my latest post called 4 Tips on writing better reviews.

The one review that remains public is quite negative. That is not an issue but your text makes me question if you stayed there and bought something. See “cake. vegan bakery”.

If you are on a Desktop use this link to Count your hidden contributions. From a mobile device use this link.

If you want to identify which of your reviews are hidden check this post.

You have added 1617 photos and videos, but only 999 of them are public.

As I also can not see your hidden photos I can only make suggestion based on the public pics. A few of your photos show the sky and clouds and hence not really the place. You are also uploading similar (redundant) photos. They should be deleted. And so should all selfies.

Feel free to share the text of a few of your reviews for a check.

There is a lot of cleaning to be done before the block imposed on your account will be lifted.

Best of luck
Morten

Uhh, yea, I live in Dover and went into that place… They did a very poor job of making a easy latte. Poor attention to detail…

So I’m banned because of a actual true life experience?

  1. what cleaning to do???

Don’t see any selfies or “pictures of the sky”, I do see a boat launch and river. Not so redundant. Considering that’s all to see at that location.

i really see no issues…
