Local Business Schema

Local Business Schema is structured markup designed to tell search engines your physical store locations, contact phone lines, GPS coords, and business hours.

It can help communicate business information to search engines, but it does not guarantee rankings or inclusion in local features like the Map Pack. Local visibility depends on many factors — relevance, distance, prominence, and profile accuracy among them.

You can extract them directly from your shop location in Google Maps (by right-clicking the map pin and copying values).

The standard Schema.org format is: DaysOfWeek StartTime-EndTime (e.g. Mo-Fr 09:00-17:00). Separate shifts using commas, and enter only the hours you genuinely operate.

Use dollar symbols: $ for budget, $$ for moderate, $$$ for expensive, and $$$$ for ultra-premium.

No. LocalBusiness markup is for businesses with a real-world presence. A storefront with customer visits uses its physical address; a service-area business (like a plumber that travels to customers) should describe its served region instead of presenting a customer-facing address — use whichever model matches how you actually operate.

Deploy it on your contact page, store directory page, or root homepage.

Yes, but you should generate separate LocalBusiness schema scripts for each individual branch.

Schema.org does not strictly require telephone, but a valid phone number is strongly expected on local business pages. Never fabricate one — if a number exists publicly, list it accurately.
