I'm not sure what you mean.
If I search for an address or a business in CoMaps but don't find it, I switch to Google Maps because I need to get there somehow! Once I've gotten there, I add the location in StreetComplete or CoMaps.
I have seen a lot of contributors who directly copy data from Google maps without verifying it. Which causes a lot of trouble for osm. From the wording I thought you were doing the same. My bad.
I see what you mean. Copying the possibly outdated store hours from Google. Yeah, I start from scratch every time.
