LocalBusiness schema with opening hours

In the generator, pick Local business, open the Opening hours field and use the shortcuts (weekdays, 24 hours) or tick the days of each range. The output already uses the form Google documents.

How Google reads openingHoursSpecification

For LocalBusiness, the Google documentation requires only two fields: name and address. Everything else is recommended: geo (latitude and longitude with at least 5 decimal places), telephone with a country code, the location url, a priceRange under 100 characters and openingHoursSpecification. Use the most specific subtype, such as Restaurant, Dentist or HealthClub; for more than one type, pass a list. The additionalType field is not supported. The generator offers 36 subtypes in the selector and marks every field with its required level.
Each time range is an OpeningHoursSpecification object with dayOfWeek (a list of days), opens and closes. Days accept the English name or the schema.org URL, such as https://schema.org/Monday, and the generator writes the URL. Times go in hh:mm (Google accepts hh:mm:ss). Two ranges on the same day, such as a closed lunch break, become two objects. Special cases follow the documentation: open 24 hours is opens 00:00 and closes 23:59; closed all day is 00:00 and 00:00; running past midnight is a single object with closes earlier than opens, such as 18:00 until 03:00.
For seasonal closures, such as a year-end break, add an object with validFrom and validThrough in YYYY-MM-DD and opens and closes at 00:00. For year-round hours, leave both dates out. An important warning applies to ratings: if the business controls the scores about itself, even through a third-party widget, the page with LocalBusiness loses eligibility for stars. That is why the tool warns when you fill in an aggregate rating or reviews on this type.

Full tool FAQ

Does Google still show the FAQ rich result?

No. Google recorded on 2026-05-08 that the FAQ rich result stopped appearing from 2026-05-07 and removed the documentation on 2026-06-15. FAQPage remains valid schema.org and other consumers may use it, but do not count on it to win space in Search. HowTo went the same way: its result was removed on 2023-09-14.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to provide geo and priceRange?

They are recommended, not required. With geo, use at least 5 decimal places; with priceRange, texts of 100 characters or more are ignored by Google.

How do I mark up a restaurant?

Pick the Restaurant subtype in the selector and fill servesCuisine and menu, which are recommended for food establishments, besides the name and address.

I have several branches. How do I do it?

Add one Local business entity per branch, each with its own address, and use an Organization as the parent linked through the parent organization field. The output becomes a @graph.
