FAQs about Google reviews not showing up

Why is my Google review not showing publicly but I can see it?

When you post a review, it can take some time to get “posted.” Open an incognito window to check if it’s a technical glitch. If not, the review is under Google’s moderation process.

How long does it take a Google review to show up?

While you might see reviews almost instantly, there are business owners that report waiting 2-7 business days to actually see these reviews appear online.

Is there a bug that Google reviews are not showing up?

Possibly. It is not common, but it happened when Google recently made several new changes to Business Listings.

How do I fix my Google reviews?

To fix your Google reviews:

• Check if something went wrong when your customer left the review.
• Contact your customer to understand if it was a technical issue.
• Contact Google Business Profile Help.

Do Google reviews expire?

No, Google reviews don’t expire. New ones get better visibility because they are recent, but you or your customers can scroll to view past reviews.

Do Google reviews need to be approved?

No, Google doesn’t manually approve reviews. But it does automatically processes to detect inappropriate content like fake reviews and spam.
