Where did this business fact come from?

Every fact in My Business names where it came from, such as your own answer, a mentor call or a Hunter chat, and you can open the source.

Every fact on My Business shows a line that says where we learned it. This line stays on the fact after you say yes. It shows on Basic Info and on every part.

What the line shows

The line has three parts: where the fact came from, a link to the source, and how fresh the fact is.

Suggested facts

Facts from a mentor call, a Hunter chat or a document wait for your Yes. They do not count until you say Yes, that is right. See How do I review a proposed fact and see its source?. If the fact is wrong, click No, leave it. See How do I decline a proposed fact?.

Open the source

  1. Find the fact on My Business.
  2. Click the source name in the line. An example is "Your chat with Hunter".
  3. Read the window. Its title starts with Source.
The Source window on My Business with the fact that you clicked and the words it came from.

The window shows the fact that you clicked. For a chat, it shows your own sentence. For a mentor call, it can show the question and your answer. A tag says You answered this directly when the cited words are yours. The footer says "You said this · verbatim, not paraphrased".

When the source is missing

Some facts show "That source is not on file." The fact is still on your record. You can still change it with Change.

Why we show sources

You decide what is true about your business. The source lets you check a suggestion before you accept it.
