Why my reviews not showing up on Google maps??

Hello @Alfahad1 welcome to the Local Guides Connect community.
Looking at your profile, I can see your most recent reviews were published 28 resp 44 minutes ago. However, I can also see, in total you contributed 7 reviews but only 3 are published:
All our posts, i.e. the text of our reviews and every single photo and video is verified by a filter, which watches not only for obeying the rules, but also for potential SPAM. If any are rejected, they are not published without notification (except for media taken in the EU) and Google never tells us exactly the reason, why this did happen.
Furthermore, if you reviews has photos or videos attached and only one of them is rejected, the entire review including all other attached media is hidden to the public.
Looking at you recently published photos, I can see two problems already:
- You posted two photos twice
- Even if you would delete the two duplicate, I would consider the remaining two as redundant:
Duplicate or redundant media may not always result in immediate rejection, but it can happen for later contributions and should be avoided.
As first step, check your hidden reviews. If media is attached, remove them and look, if text-only is published. Also delete the duplicate and redundant photos, even if they had been published.
For further tips, I suggest reading @MortenCopenhagen 's series How to Get In and Out of Trouble: The Main post or ask here, if you have any questions.
