I have been regularly posting reviews on Maps. However recently I have been facing issues. My contributions are being shown as posted and are visible to Me. However- if I try to share the same with someone else- the review is not visible. I even tried looking up the businesses page but it isn’t visible there either.
Please help resolve this
I can confirm from your public profile that you have added 12 reviews and only 3 of them are public.
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.
If you want to identify which of your reviews are hidden check this post.
I noticed your reviews added to Sesame and Demy. Thise are commercial advertising texts and not a trustworthy evaluation from an authentic consumer or visitor.
According to the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions
Organizations, brands, and businesses are not eligible for the Program. So we should never mix commercial interests with those of being an independent/volunteer Local Guide.
So guessing from your public reviews the problem is likely that you have misunderstood what a review is. Please read and use the link to 4 tips I shared above. They will help you make proper reviews.
Delete your reviews or edit them to comply with the guidelines.
Best of luck
Morten
I am happy we caught this early. Others make bad reviews for years before they realize.
