Local Business Schema Generator

What is LocalBusiness schema?

LocalBusiness schema is structured data that describes a business with a physical location or service area — its name, address, phone number, opening hours, coordinates and more — using the schema.org LocalBusiness type or one of its many subtypes such as Restaurant, Dentist or Plumber.

Google documents LocalBusiness markup as a way to tell it about business details that can appear in Search and Maps. Only name and address are required; telephone, url, geo, openingHoursSpecification and priceRange are recommended, plus servesCuisine and menu for food businesses. Markup helps Google understand your details but does not guarantee any rich result — for local visibility your Google Business Profile remains the primary source, so keep both consistent.

This generator covers 55+ valid schema.org business types, validates URLs, phone format and coordinates, and includes an opening hours builder that merges days with identical hours into compact OpeningHoursSpecification entries, with split shifts, 24-hour days, after-midnight closing and holiday hours.

How to use the Local Business Schema Generator

1. Choose the most specific business type, then enter the name, website, phone number and price range.
2. Fill in the full postal address and choose the country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code). Add latitude and longitude with at least five decimal places.
3. Tick Add opening hours, set each day to Open, Closed or Open 24 hours, and add a second range for lunch breaks. Use the copy buttons to repeat Monday’s hours.
4. Add holiday closures or special hours, social profile URLs and, for restaurants, cuisine, menu URL and reservations.
5. Copy the JSON-LD into your site (usually the homepage or a location page) and test it with the Rich Results Test.

Example

Weekday hours merged into one entry, plus a holiday closure:

"openingHoursSpecification": [
  {
    "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification",
    "dayOfWeek": ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"],
    "opens": "09:00",
    "closes": "17:00"
  },
  {
    "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification",
    "opens": "00:00",
    "closes": "00:00",
    "validFrom": "2026-12-25",
    "validThrough": "2026-12-26"
  }
]

Opening hours rules

• Times use 24-hour hh:mm format in the business’s local time.
• A business open 24 hours uses opens: "00:00" and closes: "23:59".
• A closing time earlier than the opening time (e.g. 18:00–02:00) means the business closes after midnight.
• Days that are closed are simply left out. For a closed holiday, use validFrom/validThrough with opens and closes both set to 00:00.

Multiple locations and WordPress

For a business with several branches, create one LocalBusiness object per location on that location’s own page, each with a unique @id, address, phone number and hours. In WordPress you can paste the JSON-LD into a Custom HTML block on the location page; many local SEO plugins generate equivalent markup from their settings, so check the page source first to avoid duplicates.
