Sometimes, new reviews and photos may take time to appear due to Google’s moderation process. :man_detective:

:check_mark: Check Your Contribution Status – Ensure your account is in good standing and not flagged for policy violations.
:check_mark: Review Google’s Policies – Some content may be filtered if it doesn’t meet guidelines.
:check_mark: Try Reposting – If your review isn’t visible after a week, consider editing and resubmitting it.
:check_mark: Contact Support – If the issue persists, you can seek help from the Google Maps Help Community.

Hope this helps! :blush:

Hello @olivia85 welcome to the Local Guides Connect community!
Two more hints besides @MehediHasanTanvir’s correct suggestions:

  • The text of all reviews, as well as all posted photos and videos are checked by a SPAM filter. If you attach one or more photos to a review and only one photo or video is rejected, the entire review and all other attached media is not published (“hidden” or “private”). So whenever you realize, a review is not published, as a first step, I suggest to remove all photos and see, if text-only is published. If so, you can the photos one by one again, to understand which one was rejected by the filter.
  • I recommend reading this series of articles written by @MortenCopenhagen a while ago: How to Get In and Out of Trouble: The Main post
