Anyone else keep losing their Trailblazer Bagde? I’ve had it 3 times now and it says I’ve reviewed 5 “write the first review of 1 place” and then goes down to 1, now it’s zero again and my badge is gone. Very odd as nothing else in my count seems to get removed.

Hi @JodyBunting
I took a look at your profile and can confirm that you currently do not have a trail blazer badge.
Above you can see the criteria.
I suspect your issue is Reviews. You have uploaded 363 reviews and only 244 are currently public.
If you hidden reviews include those that are the first review of places it makes sense that you don’t have the badge.
So the next question is then: Why are so many of your reviews taken down?
8 minutes ago you shared this review:
Nice new little crepe place.
This is not a real review. Please see

For a quick way to check the quality of your reviews.
About 1000 of your photos are also taken down.
Sharing blurry photos like these are not really helpful to Maps users:
Fixing such issues is very likely to help with getting your badge back.
Great thank you so much, now I know what I am doing wrong. I have not made any of my reviews private so I suspect because they have not been detailed enough they have been hidden by the system.

When you start fixing them you can immediately check if they go public or not. Use a friend’s phone or Incognito mode to check.

I also can not get my trailblazer badge even after getting an email to say the ‘new’ places are approved.
According to your Maps profile you have not added any new place. If you could find such emails they could be helpful in getting to the bottom of this.
