Guidelines for temporary changes to your business
When to mark your business as Temporarily closedMarking a business as temporarily closed it helps ensure that when customers search for a business by name, they'll find it and understand it's only closed temporarily. This may prevent cases where people may visit a business in person and are disappointed to discover it's closed.
Use “Temporarily closed” if your business:
- Will stay closed for 7 or more days in a row, or
- Will be closed for an unknown period of time
Businesses that are temporarily closed may rank after open businesses for broad queries. This ranking doesn’t happen for more specific queries, including queries for a specific business, or for queries when many matching businesses are temporarily closed.
Tip: If your business will be closed for 6 or fewer days, set Special hours.
You can let your customers know about changes in your business hours or when certain services are available.
Set “Special hours” for days when you have unusual hours, like holidays or special events. You should set special hours when your business:
- Temporarily adjusts its hours of operation, or
- Remains closed for 6 days in a row or fewer
Set “More hours” for businesses that provide specific services with differing times, like senior hours, or delivery and takeout hours.
After you update your hours or reopen your business, customers will find:
- On your Business Profile: A message that confirms your recent update.
- On the Updates tab of your profile on mobile devices: A post that confirms you made a change to your hours.
To give more information about your updated hours: Edit the post.
To remove the hours update message and the post: Delete the associated post from Google My Business.
