Hello @OGN

Thus your doubt is unfounded.
Nevertheless, the following are the usual events through which a review appears.

The moment you post a review, that becomes visible on your profile

Next, that becomes public, if the review is conforming to the Maps user-contributed content policies.

After some days, that review becomes visible on the point of interest. Nowadays, that synchronization is taking more time because of current resource constraints.

Even then, I find out of thirteen reviews, only nine are visible on your profile. You need checking the balance in the light of the policies & remove the objectionable content.

Hello @OGN

Your review may not be showing publicly if you have included any of this: an email address, a URL or dollar or pound signs, or maybe another icon or symbol or special characters “&” “@” “( )” etc. Please check your review and remove it and let’s see if it publish; otherwise any or some of the words you have used are violating the rules.

Hey, I just had a similar issue with one of my reviews. I can see my review, but my friends can’t.

Hello @MrsAnsa ,

The automatic rules might have marked your review as private because of policy violation. You can read more related to this topic in this article Prohibited and Restricted Content.

So, can you tell me what is wrong with this review that it had to be blocked?

I wrote is to Sleep Galleria:

I normally don’t write my review until after the whole process is completed, but I just couldn’t wait. What I am going to do is give you guys an update after I get my products. If you ever want to experience what a true 5 STAR feels like, make sure you stop at this store. Below are my experiences with them from yesterday. 1. Walked in and greeted by Brandon. 2. Brandon helped us to understand what these types of message chairs do and why the different levels and types. 3. While we were trying the different products (he wiped everything down to make sure we feel comfortable during COVID-19), he went to make sure the specific one that I saw online was available. 4. He even helped me find the perfect pillow based on my descriptions of the problems I had with my sleep. Trust me when I say he found the right one because I went through like over 15 pillows from Temp. to Purple. 5. We finally made a decision and he made the buying process so smooth that I came out of the store very satisfied. I told Brandon that I was first skeptical on why they have over 200+ reviews and they were all 5.0 stars, but now I also have personally experienced this store, I can also say this was a TRUE 5 STARS service.
