Google Posts Being Rejected For No Logical Reason

[onweblocal]

There is something seriously wrong with Google's AI in regard to GBP posts. I have had posts rejected for 4 out 6 clients that I have tried posting for this week. Here is the latest violation:

Sustainable Concrete Delivery - No Minimums!


Why pay for concrete you don't need? Our no-minimum delivery policy isn't just budget-friendly—it significantly reduces construction waste and conserves natural resources. Get exactly what your project requires, whether it's a small repair or larger pour.

Can you seen ANY problem with this post?

Maybe because it's an advert rather than an information post.

Or maybe it's because you ask them to call. Google doesn't allow this.

A few possible thoughts:

• Phone numbers are not allowed (which you don't have) but maybe the ai picked up on the words "Call Now" and flagged the post.
• Those emoji things might also flag the system.
• Any images added? Those could be an issue.
• Duplicated Posts? Are the posts the same across multiple listings?
• Google just being Google.

Thank you both, I removed the emoji and the call now wording and it stuck !

Unless Google changed their mind about Emojis (which have never been a problem before that I know of), it's probably the "call now" thing.

I've seen unexpected language run afoul of the post censor algorithm before. I remember we had trouble with content for a pest control client because posts talking about rodents mentioned (IIRC) urine and/or excrements and apparently that flagged the system too. Don't even get me started on our sex health client who specialized in things like clitoral hood reduction surgeries!
