Step 2: Set Your Main Business Hours

Your Main Hours are your regular, week-to-week hours of operation.

1. Ensure Open with main hours is selected.
2. For each day of the week, check the box next to the day your business is open.
3. Use the dropdown menus to select the opening time and closing time.
4. If your business is open 24 hours, select the 24 hours option in the dropdowns.
5. Click Save to confirm your changes.

Setting Split Hours (Breaks)

If your business closes for a break (e.g., a lunch closure), you can enter multiple blocks of time for a single day:

1. For the day that has a break, set the first set of hours (e.g., 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM).
2. Click the + Add hours option next to that day.
3. Set the second set of hours (e.g., 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM).

Step 3: Set Special Hours (Holidays/Events)

Special Hours are crucial for holidays, temporary closures, or special events, as they override your main hours for a specific date range.

1. In the Hours section, find the Special hours option and click Edit.
2. Select the Date: Google may suggest upcoming holidays; otherwise, click Add a date and select the specific day from the calendar.
3. Update Hours:
   • If you are closed for that holiday, ensure the Closed box is checked.
   • If you are open for a limited time, uncheck the Closed box and enter the temporary opening and closing times.
4. Click Save.
