You can't make your Google reviews private. Once you submit a review, it becomes publicly visible on Google Maps and Search.
Google's review system is designed to be transparent and publicly accessible. This allows users to see honest feedback from other customers and helps businesses understand customer sentiment.
Here are some things you can do if you're concerned about your privacy:
- Use a pseudonym: You can choose to use a nickname or alias instead of your real name when writing reviews. However, Google does require that all reviewers use a real Google account.
- Don't include personal information: Avoid sharing personal details like your phone number, address, or email address in your reviews.
- Report inappropriate reviews: If you encounter a review that contains offensive language, personal attacks, or false information, you can report it to Google.
While you can't make your reviews completely private, you can take steps to protect your privacy.
