I have 118 google reviews under my account, and for some reason they are NOT SHOWING UP ON THE BUSINESSES GOOGLE PAGES THAT I REVIEWED. I also have 21 pictures Iā€™ve posted, and now only 5 of them are showing up. This issue need to be fixed asap, because all of my reviews have disappeared off all of the businesses on google.com! When I copy and paste my google review link in another browser it is only showing (1) review so where are the other 117 reviews? I even went to a lot of the businesses I reviewed, and my review is no longer on their page. How did 117 reviews get deleted off of my google page, and Iā€™ve had this page for over 6 years! https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112715641435571741025/photos/@33.8991918,-84.4208237,12z/data=!4m3!8m2!3m1!1e1?hl=en

@K4328

The one who can fix the problems is yourself.

Google has automatic filters that hide your reviews so only you can see them. This can happen when some of your reviews violate the guidelines, including:
Prohibited and Restricted Content
Format Specific Criteria (See under Text Reviews and Captions)

Read about typical review guideline violations here.

Please use this form if you believe that your contributions have been wrongfully unpublished.

Best of luck

ok. thank you. My reviews havenā€™t violated any policies, and for all 117 of my reviews to be private means there is something else wrong. I donā€™t know if my account has been suspended or what. Iā€™ll fill out the form, and file a appeal for my account. You have very informative informative on your forum as well, and I appreciate it.

Hi @K4328 I checked your reviews and photos and see very little, please use the advice from @MortenCopenhagen and fill out the form, it definitely seems like something is wrong.

I appreciate you looking at them for me, and I did feel out the form as well. Does google have a direct email address for me to contact them for issues like this? I donā€™t know if my account is suspended or blocked. This have never happened to me before.

Hello. I wrote this review and when I look for it (public not logged into my account), it does not appear. My photos appear but not the review I wrote. I checked my count against reviews and the count looks the same (none missing). I am not sure what is going on or how to fix it. I appreciate any direction or help.

Hi @K4328

No, Google Maps does not offer email support on such issues.

Your account is not suspended as long as you are able to post here on Connect.

All the best

Hello, @vladimir_butov

Youā€™ve also noticed that the numbers in Googleā€™s stats are messy.
They send me some very funny stats. And they never even specify the period of time covered in their aggregation. Clearly, such statistics are unreliable.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/LocalGuidesWorld/posts/882967562345554/

So I still donā€™t trust the numbers they tallied up.
But if you look at the same statistics month after month, youā€™ll notice moments when Googleā€™s internal processes suddenly change dramatically.
Only in that sense can Googleā€™s statistics be useful.

yes, statistics that can change or not work at all is a feature of google maps. I would recommend that they thoroughly test before sending them to use.

@MortenCopenhagen Thanks to the Health Check in the @AdamGT VIP Lounge, I already know how many of my photos and reviews are suddenly hidden. What Iā€™m actually trying to find is a way to identify which ones.

Hi @tony_b

If you want to identify which of your reviews are hidden please see this post.

Best of luck

@MortenCopenhagen : I find it a pitty that Google is using colors for indicating such issues. I know you canā€™t solve this, but from accessibility viewpoint this is a problem: a braille display doesnā€™t indicate color differences and my screenreader =nvda (cfr. www.nvaccess.org canā€™t indicate them neither. Perhaps I must tag @InaS hoping that She can alert Google concerning this.

I published one picture, itā€™s possible itā€™s private. I donā€™t know which reviews are problematic. But as I canā€™t see which reviews are private or public, ā€¦ I canā€™t solve the issues. Thanks in advance.

@KattyGeltmeyer

I believe Iā€™m the one using colored text and not Google.

If you use the leaderboards @AdamGT 's system can do these calculations for you.

Here are your current data

Photos

You uploaded 1

Zero are public

Hidden = 1

Reviews

You uploaded 74

72 are public

So 2 are hidden.

All the best

@@Mortencopenhaegen: Thanks for this info, and how can I find out which reviews are hidden and why, and as I canā€™t see the picture, I canā€™t know in which way I violated Googleā€™s rules

@InaS : When I tried to get a description of that picture via https://bard.google.com by uploading it to this webste, I got the notification that there are people visible on this picture. I would like to upload the picture to ā€œbe my eyesā€ (especially the ā€œbe my aiā€ section of this app), but by using android I canā€™t find how to upload a picture, I only can take a photo.

cfr.

If the hidden review is linked to the picture, I know which one is hidden. But why the other one is hidden and which one,ā€¦ How can I find out this? Sorry for disturbing you. Sincerely, Katty

Hi there, my individual photos have not been showing any views for about a week, and my graph that shows increase in views has disappeared entirely. do you know if there is anything I can do to fix this?
