You did one, he did a lot from the same IP. For sure it got blacklisted.@d0n - I just did a review using chrome and it got published. I can see it when I go through firefox. no vpn. no proxy. residential IP.
one thing = i used my real gmail account. maybe google only accepts reviews from real gmail accounts where user logsin to their email on regular basis. fake accounts do not carry the same behavior. thoughts?
Update: I just used one of my fake gmail accounts, that I hardly ever login to check emails and have not used over a year. its review also got published. so not sure what is going on your end.
Well. Most likely your IP got flagged. You can't do that many reviews and I guess accounts from the same IPNever tried proxies, in fact I don't have any experience with proxies. I've only tried VPNs before, but I don't use VPNs for Google Reviews.
No it's not about that. Something else is about this issues. Many people report problemsYou did one, he did a lot from the same IP. For sure it got blacklisted.

where do you saw that many people reported problems? Cant find any other forum/topic here with same discussions....? thank youNo it's not about that. Something else is about this issues. Many people report problems
What VPN do you use? Also, do you log into one of your accounts and then turn on the VPN? Or do you turn on the VPN before you log in?There is a lot you need to check, browser, IP's location and many other things. Google check a lot of things before posting a review. I am doing with VPN's and the reviews are sticking, it's been 2 years and it is working for me. Also it happens sometime when Google launch an update in that time reviews do not stick but most of the time with VPN's reviews stick for me.
I just got a new client and I did a review for her Beauty Clinic, but I don't see the review there. But I also just did a review for an apartment building and it worked fine. I really don't get this.Try incognito to check if its really published
Yeah I just did a review for a beauty clinic and it didn't work, I can't see the review there. But then I did a review for an apartment building and I can see it, it worked fine. I really don't get what the problem is. I have a feeling it has something to do with that new update from Google.Same happened for me too, around 50% got deleted and only 50% stayed.
Must be. This never happened like this before.It seems to be a widespread issue. Something wrong with google algo.
I use HMA, it is working very well for me.What VPN do you use? Also, do you log into one of your accounts and then turn on the VPN? Or do you turn on the VPN before you log in?
I turn on the VPN before login into the account.What VPN do you use? Also, do you log into one of your accounts and then turn on the VPN? Or do you turn on the VPN before you log in?
I feel like it has nothing to do with IP. I got my friend to do a review and his review was also not published. Also, after looking into it, I can see that many other people are having the same problem. Even regular customers reviews are being removed.i would buy some proxies and try commenting using those. Google might be detecting the same IP address and immediately hiding your reviews
Nice. I'll try one of my local guide accounts to see if it sticks.I did such a test:
Five Guys - Hamburger restaurant
2 accounts: Local Guide acc and Gmail account that I used for Google ADS/ Local Service ADS and GMB, but never for reviews
Same IP
Review from Local Guide account has been sticked
Review from another account- filtered
Did you try?Nice. I'll try one of my local guide accounts to see if it sticks.
