Hello Team,
I’m an active Google Maps Local Guide and I’ve run into an issue that started this morning.
Today, I posted several reviews (some with photos and some photo-only uploads) for different places. All of them appear to have been posted successfully from my account, but none of them are visible publicly. I verified this by checking from other accounts and profiles and the content doesn’t appear there.
Initially, I assumed this was a temporary Google side delay, but the issue has continued. To troubleshoot, I tried posting reviews and photos to multiple unrelated restaurants and businesses with original content and genuine photos. Regardless of what I post, the reviews/photos remain visible only to me and are not shown publicly.
I’m concerned because this behavior is happening only on my account. As an active Local Guide who regularly contributes reviews and photos, this is quite worrying.
Could you please help me understand:
-
Is my account currently under any temporary review or restriction?
-
Is this an automated spam detection issue or a temporary cooldown due to frequent contributions?
-
Are there any steps I should take to resolve this?
I’d appreciate it if you could look into my account and let me know what’s causing this issue.
Thank you for your time and support.
