How to Update Your Hours on Google My Business
Now, more than ever, it’s important to communicate up-to-date information about your business’s hours of operations. The first place to start is your website, but this should be promptly followed by updating your Google My Business listing. It’s important to start with updating your website because Google will sometimes scrape data directly from your website to show in search results.
