openingHours<\/a>“.<\/p>\n
\nJSON-LD Format Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\"specialOpeningHoursSpecification\": { \n\"@type\": \"OpeningHoursSpecification\", \n\"opens\": \"09:00\", \n\"closes\": \"14:00\", \n\"validFrom\": \"2017-11-23\", \n\"validThrough\": \"2017-11-23\" \n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
\nThe following example utilizes [ brackets ]<\/strong> in order to include multiple sets of special hours. Below are some popular holidays in the USA that tend to have different hours or are closed (00:00).<\/p>\n
\nJSON-LD Format Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\"specialOpeningHoursSpecification\": [{ \n\"@type\": \"OpeningHoursSpecification\", \n\"opens\": \"00:00\", \n\"closes\": \"00:00\", \n\"validFrom\": \"2017-12-25\", \n\"validThrough\": \"2017-12-25\" \n},{ \n\"@type\": \"OpeningHoursSpecification\", \n\"opens\": \"09:00\", \n\"closes\": \"14:00\", \n\"validFrom\": \"2018-01-01\", \n\"validThrough\": \"2018-01-01\" \n}]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
\nSide Note:<\/strong>
\nWhile this property takes care of any and all holiday hours that may be different from the general opening hours, the language is broad enough to include any day that might have special hours.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Structured Data for Seasonal Hours<\/h2>\n
If you’re doing Schema for a business that is closed for a particular season or extended period of time, utilize the openingHoursSpecification<\/em> property and the validFrom<\/em> and validThrough<\/em> sub-properties to specify the exact dates of your off-season.<\/p>\n
\nJSON-LD Format Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\"openingHoursSpecification\": { \n\"@type\": \"OpeningHoursSpecification\", \n\"opens\": \"00:00\", \n\"closes\": \"00:00\", \n\"validFrom\": \"2016-12-01\", \n\"validThrough\": \"2017-03-01\" \n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
\nThat about sums it up. Make sure to always test your code in Google’s structured data testing tool<\/a> to make sure it’s free of any errors.
