LocalBusiness schema tells search engines your specific business type, physical address, hours, and service area — the exact factual details that power a knowledge panel or local search result — drawn from your confirmed business information, not written or embellished on your behalf.
LocalBusiness schema implementation
LocalBusiness schema built from your confirmed name, address, hours, and service area.
- Full backup taken before we start
- If we can’t fix it, you get your money back
- We never ask for your own password
What we need from you
- Your official business name, address, and phone number as they should appear consistently everywhere
- Accurate current operating hours, including any seasonal variation
- Confirmation of the correct, specific LocalBusiness subtype for your business (restaurant, professional service, retail, and so on)
This or something else?
| You want LocalBusiness schema implemented for a physical or service-area business | This fix covers it |
| You want the broader Organization and WebSite entity structure, not location-specific details | Organization & WebSite entity graph build |
| You want Review or AggregateRating schema added alongside this | Review & AggregateRating schema, a related, separate fix |
| Your business has multiple locations needing separate schema each | Worth discussing directly — a larger scope than a single-location implementation |
What we do
- Confirm your official business details and correct LocalBusiness subtype
- Implement schema reflecting your name, address, phone, hours, and service area accurately
- Verify consistency between the schema and what’s displayed elsewhere on your site
- Test the schema against Google’s Rich Results Test
- Check for any conflicting local business information from a separate plugin
- Document the implementation for future reference
What is included
- LocalBusiness schema implemented with your confirmed details
- Verified consistency with your site’s displayed business information
- Tested output confirmed valid
- A check for conflicts with other local business plugins
Not included
- Google Business Profile setup or optimisation, a separate platform from your website’s schema
- Deciding your business hours, service area, or offerings — this reflects confirmed facts, it doesn’t set them
- Multi-location schema, a larger scope if applicable
- Ongoing updates as your hours or details change
Questions about this fix
Is this the same as my Google Business Profile listing?
No — this is structured data on your own website; your Google Business Profile is a separate platform entirely, though the two should show consistent information.
Will this help me show up in local search results?
Accurate LocalBusiness schema is one input search engines can use for local relevance, though local search ranking depends on many other factors beyond a single site's structured data.
What if my business hours change seasonally?
We can implement schema that reflects known seasonal variation if you confirm the specific pattern, though ongoing manual updates for irregular changes would need to be flagged to us as they occur.
Do I need this if I already have a Google Business Profile set up?
Yes, they serve related but different purposes — your website's own schema and your Google Business Profile are both worth having correctly set up, since they reinforce each other rather than substitute for one another.
What if I have more than one physical location?
That's a larger scope than a single LocalBusiness implementation — worth discussing directly so each location's schema is set up correctly and distinctly.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
