Hello,
I have been posting reviews and comments on Google Maps for a long time. Recently, I discovered that none of my reviews were visible to the public. I checked my settings and realized that the privacy option hiding my profile/contributions was enabled, so I turned it off.
However, my reviews are still not visible to anyone else. How can I fix this issue so that the public can see my reviews again on Google Maps?
Hi @Qasemalherz
I can see 384 reviews and 110 ratings on your profile
This is not the full story @AbdullahAM: Your are correct saying 384 reviews and 110 ratings went public, but @Qasemalherz did contribute 540 reviews and 124 ratings, this 156 reviews and 14 ratings were rejected by the SPAM filter.
In addition out of 2,080 photos and 590 videos, only 1,420 are public, thus 1,250 photos or videos had been rejected.
Hi @Qasemalherz
The restricted profile setting only decides if your media and review contribution lists can be seen on your Maps profile. Your contributions will always be shown under the places given your contributions are not made unpublished by the spamfilters.
Here is your situation. You have uploaded 2080 pics and 590 vids. Of these only 1420 are currently public.
You have made 540 reviews and currently only 384 if these are public. So saying all your reviews were taken down is not 100% correct.
My guess from looking at your public photos is that you probably are not aware of the photo guidelines prohibiting us from uploading similar and duplicate photos.
Regarding your reviews, please remember to make them reflect personal perspectives. Check this to better understand.
