Hello, I submitted a review for a place I go to on a regular basis, and the review is not posting publicly. I have tried only posting stars, with the same results. It has no photos or videos attached to it. Can someone help me?
Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your issue. Sometimes, reviews may not appear publicly right away due to Google’s moderation system, which checks for policy compliance and spam-like activity. A few common reasons why a review might not post publicly include:
• Repetitive content or very short reviews (e.g., only star ratings without context)
• Violation of Google Maps policies, even unintentionally
• Technical issues or temporary delays in the system
• Frequent posting from the same location or device in a short time frame
Here’s what you can try:
1. Wait a bit – sometimes reviews take time to appear.
2. Edit the review slightly and resubmit it (adding a few genuine words helps).
3. Make sure your review doesn’t include any restricted content or personal information.
Hope this helps!
Hello,
My review is within all the rules and is not being published no matter how long I wait. I have also tried only submitting the stars and it still won’t publish. I need some sort of help here as I want this review to be visible for the business.
Bump I still need help with this.
