Why Google Says You’re Closed (But You’re Open)

Few things erode trust faster than seeing “Closed” when you’re open.
TLB helps you keep both standard and holiday hours accurate year‑round.

🔍 Why This Happens

• Missing holiday/special hours
• Seasonal changes are not updated
• Time‑zone inconsistencies or duplicated listings

🪜 Step‑by‑Step: Fix Your Hours

1. Review standard hours in GBP.
2. Add holiday/special hours (seasonal days, events).
3. Confirm the time zone is correct.
4. Save and verify changes.
5. Set a monthly check (TLB reminds you before seasonal peaks).

⚠️ Common Issues (and How to Fix Them)

• ❌ Forgetting holidays
  Fix: Load the next quarter’s special hours in advance.
• ❌ Mismatch between website and GBP
  Fix: Align data everywhere.
• ❌ Duplicate listings
  Fix: Request a merge or remove duplicates.

💡 How TLB Helps

• Outdated‑hours alerts
• “Holiday hours” challenges before each season
• Consistency checks across your core fields
