My Reviews Aren't always getting published public

I have been leaving reviews fo years now, but sometimes Google doesn’t publicly publish my review and I don’t know why. It does not included links, prices, etc… anything that would make it get flagged, so why does Google do that.

I love being a local guide, but I will no longer waste my time leaving reviews if Google is just going to remove them without any reason or without notifying me.

I do have a gmail!

Thank you for your help on this. The review in question is the last one I left for Kitchen Table.

Thank you,

Hi @tfarino How are you? I also love to do reviews on restaurants and coffee shops. I have learned to start by taking a few external shots of the shop or restaurant. I use it (the shot) then as a visual introduction to my review. Happy shooting!

Hi, @tfarino

Feel sorry for what was happened to you that your reviews are not always getting published publicly.

According to the solution in this post (Review-text-amp-star-rating-missing-or-hidden-after-posting ), "…normally a review is taken down quickly by the system, if are detected keyword or sentences that violates Google’s review policies."

But there are also chances that some errors occurs, like in this post: Known-issue-RESOLVED-Unpublished-reviews-and-photos-on-Google

So, imho, if you sure that your reviews are not violating any Google’s rules but still going unpublished, it must be just a bad luck. Not so uncommon.

And, as far as I know, unfortunatelly Google will not notify you if they had hide/unpublished one (or more) of your reviews. Eventhough you’ve had Gmail account.
