I have posted a review on a business that didn’t do a good service. I believe the business owner flagged the review which has removed it from public view. I’ve reached out a few times looking for help with Google chat help but they generally do not help. I leave a decent amount of reviews and none are ever flagged until this owner is abusing the process.

Hi. How do you know a business owner has flagged a review ? I try to post many reviews (as a customer) and many get filtered. Therefore, I’m discouraged writing reviews, and observing some forums, more and more people could stop writing reviews, as they so often get filtered.

Hi @APiper
Welcome to Connect. Nice to meet you!
To make you feel at home I suggest you take a look at Your Guide to Connect (it’s a quick introduction to our community) and feel free to introduce yourself here.
I can confirm from your public profile that you have added 929 reviews and only 857 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 guidelines, including:
Prohibited and Restricted Content
Format Specific Criteria (See under Text Reviews and Captions)
Read about typical review guideline violations here.
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 please see this post.
Please use the form called Account investigation for contributions not visible on Google Maps if you believe that some of your contributions have been wrongfully unpublished.
Best of luck
Morten
