How To Find Google Reviews I Left

Why You Might Need to Find Old Google Reviews

You left a review months ago for a restaurant, a plumber, or a hotel. Now you want to update it, delete it, check whether it posted correctly, or simply remember what you wrote. The problem is that Google does not send you a confirmation email, and the review can feel like it disappeared into the void.

This guide walks you through every method to find Google reviews you have left, on both mobile and desktop, and explains what to do once you locate them. If you are a business owner trying to understand your own review landscape, there is a section for you too, along with a quick way to run a free Google Maps rank scan to see how your profile is performing right now.

How to Find Google Reviews You Left on Desktop

The fastest route on a computer takes less than a minute.

Using Google Maps

Open maps.google.com in your browser.
Sign in to the Google account you used when you wrote the review.
Click the three-line menu (hamburger icon) in the top-left corner.
Select Your contributions.
Click the Reviews tab.

Every review you have ever posted with that account appears here, sorted from newest to oldest. You can see the star rating, the date, the text, and any photos you attached.

Using Google Search

Go to google.com and make sure you are signed in.
Search for "my Google reviews" or type "reviews I've left" directly into the search bar.
Google may surface a shortcut card in the results that links straight to your review history.

This shortcut does not always appear depending on your region or browser settings, so the Google Maps method above is more reliable.

How to Find Google Reviews You Left on Mobile

The process is nearly identical on Android and iPhone.

Android

Open the Google Maps app.
Tap your profile photo or initial in the top-right corner.
Tap Your profile.
Scroll to the Reviews section or tap See all reviews.

iPhone (iOS)

The same steps apply inside the Google Maps iOS app. If you use Google Maps through a browser on iPhone rather than the app, follow the desktop steps above.

Google Search App

On both platforms you can also open the Google app, tap your profile icon, then select Manage your Google Account > Data & Privacy > My Activity, and filter by Maps. This shows activity including reviews, but the Google Maps app route is quicker.

Editing or Deleting a Review You Left

Once you have located your reviews, you have full control over them.

To edit: Tap or click the three-dot menu next to the review and choose Edit review. Update your star rating, text, or photos and save.
To delete: Tap or click the three-dot menu and choose Delete review. The review is removed immediately, though it may take a short time to disappear from the business listing publicly.

According to Google's review policies, you are responsible for the content you post. If you wrote something you regret or the situation was resolved, editing rather than deleting is often the better move because it preserves your contribution history and can actually help the business understand they improved.

What to Do if You Cannot Find a Review

A review you remember posting may seem to have vanished. Here are the most common reasons and fixes.

You May Be Signed Into the Wrong Account

Google accounts often multiply. Check whether you have a personal Gmail, a work Google Workspace account, or a secondary account on your phone. Sign out and back in with each one and repeat the Maps steps above.

The Review Was Removed by Google

Google's automated systems flag and remove reviews that violate its review policies. Common causes include posting from the same IP as the business, using certain types of promotional language, or the system flagging your account as suspicious. If your review was removed by Google, you will usually not receive a notification.

The Business Listing Changed

If a business closed, moved, or merged its listing, your review may have been transferred to a different listing or archived. Search for the business by name in Google Maps to see whether the listing still exists.

Technical Delay

Newly posted reviews sometimes take a few hours to appear publicly and in your profile. If you just wrote the review, wait a couple of hours and check again.

Why Your Review History Matters for Local Businesses

If you are a local business owner reading this, the conversation shifts slightly. Understanding how customers find, read, and interact with your reviews is a core part of local SEO. Research from the BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey consistently shows that reviews are one of the top factors consumers use to judge a local business before visiting.

Google itself confirms that review signals influence your ranking in the local map pack. According to Google's local ranking guidance, prominence, relevance, and distance all feed the algorithm, and reviews directly affect your prominence score.

That is where a tool like Local SEO Bot becomes genuinely useful. Rather than logging into your Google Business Profile every day to monitor new reviews, Local SEO Bot handles AI review replies automatically, posts weekly Google Business Profile updates on your behalf, and tracks your Google Maps rankings daily with alerts when a competitor climbs nearby. It is the done-for-you alternative to piecing together a DIY stack of tools and doing everything manually.

You can start with a free Google Maps rank scan to see exactly where your business stands across your service area right now, with no credit card required.

Managing Your Google Business Profile Reviews

If you own a business listing, the process for seeing reviews left for your business is different from finding reviews you personally wrote as a consumer.

Sign in at business.google.com.
Select your business.
Click Reviews in the left sidebar.

From here you can read, respond to, and flag reviews. The Google Business Profile Help center covers every setting in detail.

Responding to reviews is not optional for competitive businesses. Google rewards engagement. Local SEO Bot's AI review reply feature drafts contextually appropriate responses within minutes of a new review appearing, keeping your profile active without you lifting a finger. Combined with hand-placed citations across 40+ platforms, a live Google Maps rank grid across your service area, and a free Google Business Profile audit, it covers the whole local SEO stack that most small businesses simply do not have time to manage.

Plans start with a 3-day free trial at $0 today, then $99 per month, cancel anytime. See the pricing page to compare what is included at each tier. And if you are not ranking higher within 30 days, every dollar back, no questions asked. That is a real guarantee, not a soft promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see reviews I left on Google without signing in? No. Your review history is tied to your Google account. You must be signed in to access your contributions. If you are not sure which account you used, try each one you own until you find the review under Your contributions in Google Maps.

Can I find a Google review I left for a specific business without scrolling through all my reviews? Yes. Go to Google Maps, search for the business by name, open the listing, and scroll down to the reviews section. If you have reviewed that business, your review will appear at the top of the list with an edit option, provided you are signed into the same account.

What happens if I delete a Google review I left? The review is permanently removed from the business listing and from your contributions history. The business's overall star rating will recalculate without your review included. Deletion is irreversible, so consider editing instead if you simply want to update what you wrote.
