Business hours structured data is present

Business hours in structured data via schema-org OpeningHoursSpecification or schema-org openingHours enable Google to display your open/closed status directly in search results and Maps. Without this, customers clicking through from search have no immediate answer to whether you're currently open — a friction point that drives them to competitors who have the data surfaced. Hours omission also prevents Google's "Open now" filter from returning your business.

Add openingHoursSpecification to your LocalBusiness JSON-LD in app/layout.tsx. Use one object per day group, with 24-hour time strings.

"openingHoursSpecification": [
  {
    "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification",
    "dayOfWeek": ["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"],
    "opens": "09:00",
    "closes": "17:00"
  },
  {
    "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification",
    "dayOfWeek": ["Saturday"],
    "opens": "10:00",
    "closes": "14:00"
  }
]

For 24/7 businesses, use "openingHours": ["Mo-Su 00:00-23:59"] instead.

• ID: business-hours-schema

• Severity: medium

• What to look for: Check the LocalBusiness JSON-LD for an openingHoursSpecification property (array of objects with dayOfWeek, opens, and closes) or an openingHours property (array of strings in the format "Mo-Fr 09:00-17:00"). Also check for a dedicated hours component or page section that could contain this data.

• Pass criteria: Count all hours-related properties in the LocalBusiness JSON-LD. The schema must include either openingHoursSpecification or openingHours with at least 1 entry covering at least 1 day of the week, OR the business has explicitly indicated it operates 24/7 via openingHours: ["Mo-Su 00:00-23:59"].

• Fail criteria: No hours data in the LocalBusiness schema and no indication that the business is always open.

• Skip (N/A) when: No LocalBusiness JSON-LD exists (caught by parent checks), or the business type is one that inherently has no regular hours (e.g., a purely online service), or whole-audit N/A rule applies.

• Detail on fail: "LocalBusiness JSON-LD has no openingHoursSpecification or openingHours property. Business hours missing from structured data."

• Remediation: Add hours to your LocalBusiness JSON-LD in app/layout.tsx:

  "openingHoursSpecification": [
    { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": ["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"], "opens": "09:00", "closes": "17:00" }
  ]
