Frequently Asked Questions
What is OpeningHoursSpecification schema markup?
OpeningHoursSpecification is a schema.org property used to describe the opening hours of a place or service. When added to your website as JSON-LD, it helps Google understand when your business is open and can display your hours in local search results and Google Business Profile.
How do I add the generated schema to my website?
Copy the generated JSON-LD and paste it inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag anywhere in your page — typically inside the <head> element or at the bottom of the <body>. It works on any CMS including WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, and Wix.
Will this schema replace my Google Business Profile hours?
No. The schema markup on your website is a separate signal that helps search engines understand your hours. You should still keep your Google Business Profile hours up to date — they are managed separately at business.google.com.
What time zone should I use for the hours?
The OpeningHoursSpecification schema does not include a time zone field — the hours are assumed to be in the local time zone of the business location. Google uses your business address to determine the correct time zone.
Can I set different hours for each day?
Yes. Each day has its own open/closed toggle and independent open and close time selectors. You can configure completely different hours for every day of the week.
