There's been quite a few companies doing some growth hacking, or I guess straight up stealing by putting their url as the url for a restaurant. It's hard to trust anything Google maps tells me since there's no real source of truth.

Zomato needs to be banned from Google maps.

>growth hacking

This is just techbro euphemism for "lie to your users."

I thought it was a euphemism for "lie to your investors"?

This particular instance is definitely lying to users, but in general "growth hacking" isn't necessarily so evil. Like adding "sent with Hotmail" at the bottom of the free email service, or offering a printable certificate of your store's Yelp rating to show off to in-person customers.

Zomato is the worst thing I have seen. I stopped using it and moved to Swiggy. To order from zomato, you need their app, you cannot order from their website. On swiggy, you can either order from their website or app.

I like to order stuff of any service from their website. Usually, the play/app store apps are filled with ads, trackers, spyware.
