Why can’t I update my opening hours?
If you can’t update your opening hours in Google Business Profile, it’s often due to technical restrictions or pending verifications. Correct opening hours are essential so customers visit you at the right time. We show you the most common causes and quick solutions for this problem.
Frequently, Google blocks changes when your profile isn’t fully verified or a review is pending. Profiles managed by multiple users can also experience conflicts. Check whether your verification status is active. Sometimes browser issues or outdated app versions also cause technical errors during editing.
Open your Google Business Profile in the browser or app. Click ‘Edit profile’ and then ‘Opening hours’. Make the desired changes and save. Don’t forget to also enter special opening hours for holidays. More details are available in the Google help on opening hours.
Always keep your opening hours in Google Business Profile up to date. Enter special hours for holidays and seasonal changes early. Use the Google Business app to make changes quickly.
