Need help in finding what's causing my review to be hidden

Hi, @ErmesT

My recent review regarding a negative experience with treat Unusual Veterinary Hospital is unpublished after I have added the photos after response for review from business owner. How can I get my review back ?. Should I still create a new review

As for writing a new review, I don’t see the need for it.

Hi @jijojoshi , I am sorry about your issue.
Writing a new review will implies to delete this one. It doesn’t make any sense, it’s always better to fix the issue with this one.

A review and the attached photos are considered as a single post. If the review disappeared after adding the photos most probably one of the photo was considered inappropriate by the AI. Please try to remove the photos, and publish it again. Once your review will be visible try to add the photos again, one by one, to find the one that is intercepted by the AI. Remove that photo.

Of course you can also appeal, as suggested by @ShifaAymal . But before to appeal I would like to suggest you to fix the issue with a lot of redundancy and near duplicate (very similar) photos. I tell you this because redundancy is a violation of the policies, and if you appeal all the contributions will be checked.
In addition I want to inform you that I am changing the category of your post to Google Maps tips & tricks - Local Guides Connect
