I had almost done 1,645 reviews on my contributions. The issue is, most of the reviews were made private. Don’t know exactly what’s the issue. Whenever I put a review, only I can see it (on “Your Review” on my contributions). If I opened it in incognito mode or from any other profile, I couldn’t see my review. No issues with the photos. Googling about the same, I came into knowing that reviews that breaches the policy might be made private by google. But as you can see my profile, the reviews are not against the policy nor breach any kinda violations. Below I’m attaching some screenshots of my reviews (that points the issue) and the location of the same. At the location, you won’t see my review since it was made private. I’m eagerly waiting to overcome this issue to review more and more.
I have one curiosity. Do you add the reviews when prompted by the app or otherwise?
Further, did those reviews contain some unacceptable words?
My experience is when I used specif word for “no clothes” to describe some famous pieces of art, those reviews became private. I removed that word & now the write-ups continue to be public.
@C_T Mainly my reviews are heading to restaurants/cafes and public transportation areas. I’m attaching my contribution link here. I believe I didn’t post such reviews intentionally. I wonder what fact made the reviews private one!
@ErmesT I have tried this now as per your instruction. Logged out from mobile and PC and cleared cache from both. But the issue still persists. I wonder why these genuine innocent reviews were privatized…!! Please help…
A simple trick is to compare the data on your private profile with the data listed on your public profile. There is a link to your public profile on your private profile. In my case the number of reviews is the same on both. Which means that all of my reviews are public. There is a difference of 30 pictures out of about 7000. This is from my early days as a local guide when I was not aware of all the rules. Like the fact that we are not allowed to post the same pic to more than one place.
No issues with the pictures I’m posting, they’re fine. But the issue is with reviews and ratings. Whenever I’m posting a review or rating, all of them won’t appear and automatically made private now. Don’t know what exactly the issue is.
Thanks for the concern @MortenCopenhagen . My profile link is updated on the above conversations. By referring that you can perceive the character of my reviews. I hope none of them violated the policy.
Please find the attached screenshot of my contributions. Almost 1k reviews were made private !!
The most frustrating point is most of the reviews and ratings I’m posting now (as fresh reviews) are generated as a private review. The reviews are not containing any kind of violating words or terns containing it. No issues with photos. They are working well…
I really need the help of any moderator for sorting this out! Hope someone will help me. That help will lead me to engross more potential contributions.
I sense the the reviews still haven’t reappeared on your account.
It seems you’ve tried pretty much everything here, but can you please try and access Google Maps in incognito mode from your desktop and see if the problem still persists?
Thank you @MortenSI for the response. I have tried everything, only hope I left is any help from moderators. I have tried viewing my account from incognito mode, only some of the reviews are able to see, not the majority. The issue still persists. Don’t know what makes that reviews to become private.
