Had an interesting conversation with a restaurant manager today. Apparently because COVID has changed hours for restaurants and they were not evenly updating services the big listing services are scraping each other, so...
-
if you update hours on Yelp but not Google your new hours can get overwritten by a bad updating process, & b/c updates can be cached, they can't update their hours, b/c the 3 big services (Google, Yelp, Facebook) keep undoing the updates with cached data scraped from each other.
-
Now, finally, I understand why the listing services have been so wonky listing hours as places reopened.
-
The restaurant manager said this was happening on all three platforms, which is wild.
