Update Your GBP With Holiday Hours
Objective
Make sure clients can see your holiday hours at a glance and know exactly when to book before your break.
1. Update your special holiday hours
In your Google Business dashboard:
Go to Hours → Add special hours
Enter your Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day hours
Double-check your January hours resume correctly after the break
This ensures clients see accurate hours directly in Google Search and Maps.
2. Upload your holiday graphic
Go to Add Update and upload your festive holiday hours image.
Make sure the text is readable and visually clear.
3. Write your caption
Keep it short, clear, and focused on encouraging clients to book before you close.
Examples:
“My holiday hours are now live. Book your appointment before I close for Christmas.”
“Closed from Dec __ to Jan __. Final festive appointments available — book now.”
“Holiday schedule updated. Secure your Christmas or early January slot via my booking link.”
4. Add your booking link
Include your Solo booking URL so clients can book immediately.
Place it directly in the post for maximum visibility.
5. Publish your update
This will appear on your Google Business Profile for anyone searching for your services — helping reduce confusion about when you’re open.
