Where Are the Holiday Hours?<\/h2>\n

On the Google Search and Map results, these are the orange or green “Holiday hours” on the local listings. Below is an example.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/a><\/p>\n

The green “Holiday hours” denotes the listing owner specifically confirmed their hours for that day.<\/p>\n

The orange “Hours might differ” denotes the listing owner has not confirmed their hours. The hours listed are their typical hours for that day of the week, but due to the holiday, their “hours may differ”!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do I Need to Update If My Hours Are the Same?<\/h2>\n

We still recommend updating your holiday hours, because if you don’t, visitors to your listing will wonder whether or not you are open. The “hours might differ” message could be confusing. What if you are actually open, but they think you are closed and take their business elsewhere? Conversely, what if you are actually closed, but without updating your listing, you are shown as “open” and people show up at your business? How will that reflect on your brand’s reputation?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
