My Local Giudes review pictures not visible ?

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

I have been using Google Local Giude for a long time,I have reached level 7 as a result of the images I wrote reviews.

I have shared many reviews and images+videos, but some of them are not visible why ? I have not broken any rules, why is this so ? my labors are in vain, this is unfair

And Google Local Guides doesn’t send me a reason e-mail about this, why aren’t my reviews not visible ?

Hi @Valeh

Google does never help Maps users by pointing out what they do wrong.

I took a quick look at some of your public review photos. You are clearly uploading redundant (similar) photos which is against the guidelines. And this could easily be contributing to your problem.

You could try deleting similar copies and then try the form mentioned below.

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for contributions not visible on Google Maps if you believe that some of your contributions have been wrongfully unpublished.

Best of luck

Hello :wave: Thanks for help and link. I will post a link to them to solve the problem. No I didn’t share similar pictures, only share different image in the same area.

The problem is that in my Local Guide Profile the reviews and images visible. but what the main audience local not visible. Maybe this all happened after I changed my profile name.

And Google Local Guides doesn’t send me a reason e-mail about this.

I saw a lot of redundant photos under your profile.

We are all free to not follow the guidelines. But then we can not really complain when contributions get hidden.

All the best

When I visit a place in the park, I try to photograph all parts of the park, so that all parts of the park are visible and people have a broader vision of the park. Under which review did you see an unnecessary picture ?

It would be beneficial if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply.

I’m happy to point out some of your redundant photos.

See Gloria Jean’s Coffees

At Antalya Aquarium

Pics 2 and 4 are too similar.

So are pics 11, 12, 13, 15, and 17. Delete all but one.

So are pic 16 and 21

Also I would remove some of the similar tunnel pics.

Pic 18-20 are also not adding extra value. One is plenty enough.

At Park Expo 2016

You have photographed the red wooden bridge from several angles. One is sufficient in my opinion.

I would recommend you upload a lot fewer photos. Only one or maybe 2 = the best and most interesting ones. But you can do as you please. My viewpoint is that I prefer to get a lot of views on each and every photo I upload. Your strategy of uploading max 50 hotos will make your average views per pic go down considerably.

You don’t have to upload fewer. There is no official guideline, but you may want to read this post:

@MortenCopenhagen

First of all. There is a reply button at the top, because I am writing to you, my reply is addressed to you, there is no need to mention your name. If you insist, I can mention your name.

( It should be brought to your attention ) The picture of Gloria Jeans and at Antalya Aquarium, without the pants that you mentioned has attracted the interest of many viewers, and both review+pictures are active visible for everyone. ( It’s about my other reviews and images that don’t visible for everyone )

Pay attention Gloria Jean’s I uploaded only 4 pictures, I only take 50 pictures in big places like park-mall-stadium-zoo. There is no limit on Local Guide image uploads, I can upload 5-10 or 50 images. Of course, viewers who do not exceed the limit beyond 50 figures will be less interested. As I just said, I take a lot of pictures in large spaces area like park+zoo+mall and take pictures in small spaces area cafeteria+shop+restaurant.

Thank you very much for your link and explanation.

Without tagging I’m unlikely to see your reply. Connect does not work as you anticipate.

I’m unable to see your hidden reviews because they are hidden. That is why I had to explain what is likely to cause your issues based only on your public reviews.

You can chose not to follow my recommendations as you please.

Respectfully
