I hope you can help me with an issue I’m having with my Google account. None of the reviews I’ve written seem to be visible to others, even though I’ve made sure they follow all of Google’s policies and guidelines.
My reviews are completely genuine, based on my real experiences, and don’t include anything inappropriate, spammy, or promotional. I’ve also double-checked that my privacy settings are set to “Public.”
On top of that, I noticed that my profile itself isn’t showing properly. Even when I share my profile link with friends, they can’t see it. I’m wondering if this could be why my reviews aren’t showing either.
This account is tied to an old email address that I’ve only recently started using again. Could the issue be that some parts of the profile or account haven’t been fully updated?
I’d really appreciate it if you could look into this and let me know what’s going on. Thanks so much for your time, and I’m looking forward to hearing back from you!
Make some more contributions. You have kind of 5 reviews and 2 photos they either violated policies or marked hidden by the system. You can always file an appeal. Though I suggest you add some more photos and reviews and observe.
Your local guide tag seems missing which simply means it has violated guidelines.
But it seems you are just too low on your levels. Try to make some contributions.
Hi @Yvonne welcome to the Connect family. As the local guide badge is given to all those who have reached to level 4 and you’re in level 3 now, so it’s hard to say if there’s any chance of policy violation or not, maybe something has triggered the spam filter. I am tagging @MortenCopenhagen he can surely help you with this.
Sure sure @Yvonne please feel free to ask if you requires any further help. You can tag me like this @Shaunak so that I can get a notification. Have a nice day.
Shaunak is right badges are awarded after 250 points that you can easily get by posting some 10 reviews and 30 photos.
You can read about it here
This section is right there your profile section under read more link.
It also has answers to why some photos and reviews go hidden. It also details policies that might have been violated.
You give it a good read and you will understand most of the things.
And you need to tag people once you hit curve reply button at right bottom they are automatically tagged in new connect.
Hi @Yvonne welcome to Connect and great to have another Aussie here. Sometimes the algorithm gets things wrong. I find this most often happens when a photo I have contributed gets removed it takes the review with it. There is a review process
