The direct answer

Neither source should automatically win. Compare both with the business owner's approved information and record which fields are uncertain.

What to check

Check name, address, primary phone, website destination and hours side by side. Distinguish a verified discrepancy from a profile you could not access.

What to do next

Repair the confirmed differences with a field-by-field log. Recheck the published results and keep unresolved provider edits marked pending rather than declaring everything synchronized.

Platform guidance can change. Consult the current official documentation before making platform-specific changes.
