You've taken the time to write a well-considered review, or a client claims to have written one, but Google Maps doesn't show it. Here are some possible causes and solutions.
Reasons Why Google Reviews May Not Be Appearing
- Review Approval procedure: To guarantee quality and relevancy, Google reviews are subjected to a review procedure. This may occasionally cause your review to be posted later than expected.
- Technical Difficulties: Sometimes, reviews may not display properly due to technical difficulties.
- Local Business Verification: Your review may not show up if the company you are evaluating isn't verified.
How to Verify the Publicity of Your Review
- Incognito Mode: Locate the company by opening a secret or incognito browser window. By doing this, any cache or saved cookies that might be affecting how your review appears will be avoided.
- Next, look at the Business Profile: Check the company's Google Maps profile immediately for your assessment.
Tips for Troubleshooting
Try these actions if the review is still not visible:
- Modify Your Review: Either make a little change to your review or request that your client do so. Occasionally, this can start the review process and make it apparent.
- File a Local Guides Appeal: You may need to submit a Local Guides Appeal form if you've observed that several reviews you left for your company aren't appearing.
Keep in mind that it may take a while for Google to analyze and publish reviews and edits.
