Hi @DanielTh
Thanks for the feedback, I will start responding from the end:
There is not a quick way to find your “not posted” reviews.
You will have to compare your private profile with the public one. An easy way to do this is to open your profile (this link) in incognito mode on a web browser. Then you will have to scroll down the reviews, to compare what you posted and what is publicly visible. Considering the high number of reviews you posted, it will take time to do it.
My suggestion is to carefully check the policies, edit the reviews that are hidden, and then to submit an appeal. The form to appeal can be found here: An update on how we moderate Google Maps reviews.
The check of the profile may take several weeks (last time I submitted the form it took more than two months) but it works, and all my reviews were released.
But when I did it the first time, a few years ago, even if my reviews in Paris were released Google was blocking the new ones in the same area, so I had to submit the form again for having the block removed. I know, it is annoying, but Maps and all the other platforms that are hosting reviews have the same problem: to protect the platform from fake reviews, because this can have legal implications for them. So, in case of doubt, a review is taken down, to be eventually reinstated after the appeal. For more details you can read: Your review has not been published. Do you know why?
Regarding adding your business and then adding a review, please be aware that reviewing the place where you work, or you worked in the past, is considered a “Conflict of Interest” and must be avoided.
Also it would be better to Claim the business in Google Business profile instead of adding it as a Local Guide. The business can have a better control of the listing, and add additional information in a way that isn’t available for the Local Guides
