Hi @bibin765 this can happen if images you uploaded or reviews you contributed are considered to be spam and get marked private. Please PM me a link to your Maps contributions. I’m happy to look and offer constructive feedback.

If you are seeing 8 in Maps but 7 in Connect that can be a data synch problem that usually resolves itself within 24 hours.

Have you been editing your reviews?

Thanks @bibin765 I did mean for you to send that to me via PM but that is ok. I can immediately see the issue when I look at your profile. You’ve got loads of near duplicate photographs. Generally speaking you only need three photos of a place, one of the outside, one of the inside and one of the product(s). If the place is special or you need one or two more to show some different things but contributing lots that are nearly the same will only have one eventual outcome. That is what I expect you’re experiencing now.

Hello @bibin765 ,

Thank you for reaching out and it is true what @PaulPavlinovich had mentioned and you can follow the tips he provided.

In addition to that, it is best to avoid duplicate photos and remember to always provide high quality contributions too boost up your points on Google Maps.
