The holidays are here, and it’s one of the busiest times of the year for local businesses and service area businesses. One small but crucial step can make a big difference in keeping your customers happy – no one likes a cotton-headed ninimuggins.

👉 Update your holiday hours in Google Business Profile (GBP).

Why is this important?​
​
📍 Visibility: Your hours are one of the first things customers see when they search for your business. If they're incorrect, you might lose sales to a competitor.
​
🤝 Trust: Displaying accurate hours, even if you're closed for a day, builds trust and avoids customer frustration.
​
📈 Convenience: Businesses with up-to-date profiles are often prioritized by Google in local searches.

✨ Update Your Holiday Hours in Under 5 Minutes:​
1️⃣ Log into your Google Business account.
2️⃣ Navigate to Info and select Special Hours.​
3️⃣ Add your holiday hours or mark any days you’ll be closed.
4️⃣ Save, and you’re all set for the season!
