My comments are not visible on google maps.

The comments I write on google maps are not visible to others. But I can see my own comments. I created a new account and tried to write a comment in a different place. But I faced the same problem with my newly created account.

Thank you very much if you can help.

Hi @yarenfarlas

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.

If you have questions, try using the search field at the top first. Then check the Help desk documents and What are Connect topics before asking a new question in the How-to section.

I can confirm from the public profile f the account you are using here that you have added 27 reviews and only 24 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 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for contributions not visible on Google Maps if you believe that some of your contributions have been wrongfully unpublished.

Please note that you can only have one Google account signed up to the Local Guides Program without getting in trouble.

Best of luck
Morten

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

Firstly, thanks for your response. I reviewed what you wrote.

As you said, only 24 of the 27 comments I wrote are public. I also filled the forum you posted. But I’m having the same problem with the new account I opened. What could be the reason for this?

I can not give you a straight answer. It could be some problems with spammers in your county that caused a temporary block. it could be your profile is under extra scrutiny. I can not explain why a second account has the same problems. Please use only one account as already mentioned. It can get you suspended from the program with both accounts.

Cheers

If you copied the text of reviews from one account to the other then this will quickly be detected by the spam filter.

Cheers
