Google Maps

At one time when looking at a map on seeing a business if I clicked on it described briefly the business gave the address and most importantly gave the web address.

Now it doesn't and only give the addresss.

Has something changed in the settings?

How can I turn this back on?

    I get the webpage address (if there is one) in the left-hand pane, underneath the Address, and above the Phone number.

    I can't see an obvious setting at the top-left 'hamburger' menu which would remove the website address...

    It can only show a web address if it has one. Some businesses have made sure that google maps is updated with their business details and others haven't. Anybody can add these deatails but of course they will usually get verified in some way before appearing to prevent incorrect or malicious details being added.

    But there businesses that I know have web addresses and have been on there that are not there now which makes me think it must be something to do with settings

    "I refer you to the answer I gave some posts earlier..."

    Give some examples, and we can look on our systems!
