Only the fields you send are touched. A field you omit is left as it is, and a field you send with an empty value is CLEARED, which is how you remove a phone number or a website. Fields Google owns are not writable and are rejected: place_id, maps_uri, new_review_uri and the status flags are output-only, and language_code is fixed when the location is created. Google moderates these edits, so a 200 means the change was accepted for review rather than already live on Search and Maps; read the location back to see what is live and check has_pending_edits. Google allows 10 edits per minute per Business Profile and that limit cannot be raised. Pass validate_only=true to have Google check the change without applying it, which is the only way to test against a real profile since the API has no sandbox. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json put /platforms/google/accounts/{id} openapi: 3.0.0 info: description: >- Unified social media inbox API.
