Questions about this tool
Why set special hours on Google?
If your Google profile shows you open when you're closed, customers turn up to a locked door and may leave a bad review. Special hours override your normal hours for the dates you choose.
When should I set holiday hours?
A week or two before. Google may also ask you to confirm hours before major holidays.
