Hello,
I am a Level 10 Local Guide with more than 190,000 contribution points and I have been actively contributing to Google Maps for many years.
For approximately the last five months, I have been experiencing a serious issue with place edits.
Before this problem started, around 90% of my edits were approved successfully. However, during the last five months, I have submitted approximately 100 edits of various types (business names, categories, opening hours, contact information, and other factual corrections), and only one edit has been approved without an appeal.
The issue affects all types of edits and all locations. It is not limited to a specific country, region, category of business, or type of information.
After submitting an edit, the status initially shows “Pending”, but within approximately 30 seconds it changes to:
“Unfortunately, we can’t publish this content right now.”
What is particularly confusing is that when I submit an appeal, many of those same edits are later approved after review. This suggests that the information itself is often correct, but my edits are being automatically rejected before receiving proper consideration.
Additional information:
-
Level 10 Local Guide
-
More than 190,000 points
-
No warnings or policy violation notices on my Google account
-
Reviews and photos are published normally
-
Only place edits are affected
-
The issue has been ongoing for about five months
-
Approximately 100 edit attempts during this period
-
Only one edit approved automatically

I have already submitted an appeal regarding my account and received a response stating that my profile is in good standing. However, the editing issue continues unchanged.
Could someone please investigate whether there is a problem, restriction, trust-related flag, or technical issue affecting my ability to submit place edits?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
