Hi,

I hope someone can help me because this is my first time posting and it was marked as spam.

Let me know which should I delete or edit out. I just want to share a story of a local business.

Thanks.

Hi @LG_Vernon

I see your post in the spam folder. A quick read makes me believe that your post is a commercial advertisement of the services of a business. This is not acceptable on Connect. You even included a link to the website of the business.

What is your relation to the business?

Cheers

Morten

@MortenCopenhagen I see. I didn’t mean to advertise but to share a story. I can remove the link and other information? Thanks.

@MortenCopenhagen I removed the business name and the link and the services. Let me know if there’s anything else should I edit or remove. Thank you for your help.

@LG_Vernon

Kindly reply to my question: How are you affiliated with this business?

@LG_Vernon

And in the post, you mentioned that you helped him with SEO services. This means he is a customer of yours. Paid or not paid.

I think your post can also be considered an attempt to market your services. I don’t have the final say, but I will not release your post for these reasons. Maybe the Google Moderators will do so on Monday should they reach another conclusion. Please wait and they will let you know.
