Update your hours, address or details on Google (Business Profile)

Your Google Business Profile is the box that shows on Google Search and Maps with your hours, address, phone number and reviews. You can update most of it yourself.

Update it yourself

  1. Sign in to the Google account that manages the profile.
  2. Search Google for your business name. Your profile shows with management tools at the top (you can also go to business.google.com).
  3. Choose Edit profile, change the details, and save.

Changes can take a little while to show, and Google sometimes reviews them first.

Special and public holiday hours

Set special hours for one-off days (public holidays, a closed Tuesday, Christmas). That way your normal hours stay as they are.

Changing your address

If you move, Google may ask you to verify the business again, sometimes with a short video of the premises, signage and tools of trade. Have someone at the new site ready to record it on a phone.

Not sure which Google account manages it?

Owners and managers can see each other under Business Profile settings > People and access. If nobody at your business has access, see Get access to your Google Business Profile.

Want us to do it?

Raise a ticket with the exact new hours or address and the dates any special hours apply.
