Appointment URL: How to remove third party URL from GBP listing

[Mindquest]

For a mental health provider in the Appointment URL a Zocdoc URL has been added in addition to our website URL. I noticed this happened for several other competitor in the same city.

I assume this is a third party agreement between Google and Zocdoc to allow their URL to be on our GBP without our permission.

Is there anyway to request its removal? Hoping there has been a change as of late to give the business owner some recourse.

I think you'd need to contact Zocdoc to see if they could remove it, or contact GBP support but I haven't had this problem before.

I would guess it's an agreement between G and Zocdoc. Google likes to make those types of agreements and then leave it to the individual business to sort it out :-( They did that with restaurants for ordering online. Hopefully Zocdoc is cooperative. If the client is using Zocdoc, it should be easier to get it removed.

Thanks everyone for confirming my suspicions. Will continue to dive down this rabbitt hole.
