GBP website UTM falling off when clicked

[LocalCherry]

The tracking UTM of my GBP falls off the website URL when the website button is clicked on the GBP. Here is what I've tried so far to resolve the issue:

• checked redirects that may be contributing
• ensured the URL featured on the GBP is the same as the one verified in GSC
• re-place the UTM
• submitted 3 support tickets to Google Support -- all resulted in support saying they don't understand the issue or no response
• followed up on Google Support tickets and requested the issue be escalated - no response here either so far
  

Has anyone else run across this? Any suggestions as to what else I can try?

How do you mean it "falls off the website URL"?

The URL is set up with the GMT in the profile, but when it is clicked the URL doesn't have the UTM anymore.

It might show up in the edit interface for the profile, but the URL might not actually be updated for the public:

I had this with one listing and I was overlooking something so simple - using http rather than https for the website field, this was causing the UTMs to drop off

Did anyone figure this out? I am experiencing the same issue. The URL is correct, however, the UTM drops off when clicked and directs to the homepage instead of the subpage we have listed in the edit interface.

Oh yeah, this is a very annoying bug that happens sometimes, though I've seen it mostly for names.

This is the most likely cause - are you using the final URL pattern for the URL?
