- oftenwrong 6y agoWhenever I find an instance of this in the wild (such as [1]), I try to add the proper website as a correction, but Google typically will not accept the change. I assume this is because the website URL was added by the "owner". In other instances where I suggest edits to Google Places, they are accepted almost immediately, since I am a decently-ranked Local Guide.
