I tried to place a review about a restaurant we had dinner at, but for some reason Google is blocking my review and I do not understand why (no hate speech, normal length, pictures and videos added). Could you help me in figuring out what the reason could be?
Hi @Sopjob , welcome to Connect and thank you for asking.
To know the reason why your review was blocked you can click on “details”.
In there you will find an explanation and what to do.
If the reason is related to the text, you can edit your review, trying to find the keyword that is triggering the filter, or submit an appeal, for a trained operator to check, and hopefully release, your review.
If the reason is related to an attached media (video or photos) you will be able to identify the media on your “photos” tab, because it will be marked with a warning symbol. Remove the media and resubmit the review.
However, if the media flagged is a video, it can be a false alarm, that it is normally fixed in a few hours.
