Local Guide Level 7 – All Reviews, Photos, Points, and Contributions Have Disappeared

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

Hello everyone,

I have been an active contributor to the Google Maps Local Guides program for a long time. Over the years, I have published numerous reviews, photos, and other contributions, and I achieved Local Guide Level 7.

However, recently all of my contributions have disappeared from my profile. My reviews, photos, Local Guide points, and Level 7 status are no longer visible, and I cannot access any of the contributions I previously made.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in understanding why my contributions are no longer visible and whether this is the result of a technical issue or an incorrect restriction on my account. I kindly request that my account be reviewed and, if appropriate, that my reviews, photos, contribution points, and Local Guide Level 7 status be restored.

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Kind regards,

Ozi

Welcome to Connect.

You need to share the link to your affected Maps profile so we can check. Also please make sure it’s not restricted.

Most likely the spam filter blocked you. But it is unusual that contributes get taken down.

Also make sure you are logged into the correct Google account.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

My Google Maps profile link is:
Google Maps

However, when I open this profile, my previous Local Guides profile and all of my contributions are no longer visible. My reviews, photos, contribution points, and Local Guide Level status have all disappeared.

I would also like to mention that around the time this issue occurred, I created a Google Workspace account for my custom domain to use for business email. My long-standing Local Guides account was associated with my personal Google account, and I never intended to replace, merge, or transfer my Local Guides profile to the Workspace account. Although I am not certain, I believe this change may somehow be related to the issue.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your guidance and any help you can provide in resolving this issue.

Kind regards,

Your old account shows nothing on Maps

What you explained might very well be the reason your contributions evaporated. We should never use a workspace account for out Maps contributions.

I doubt there is anything you can do. But it might be worth to ask in the Google Account or workspace help fora.

I speculate if the way you merged the two could play a role.

We had a similar case with another Local Guide just a few weeks back.

Unfortunately, I can’t easily find it. Maybe others can.

Hello,

Thank you very much for taking the time to review my account and for your detailed explanation.

My contributions were the result of many years of genuine effort and dedication, so I sincerely hope there may still be a way to recover or restore them.

If you happen to come across a similar case in the future or have any new thoughts or suggestions that might help resolve this issue, I would be truly grateful if you could let me know.

Thank you once again for your time, support, and assistance.

Kind regards,
