Opening hours

"Are you open?", answered

A real Clay site, built from a Google listing

The most tapped thing on a small business website, and the most often wrong.

Hours on a website are almost always a table somebody typed in once. They are wrong on bank holidays, wrong the week you change the summer hours, and wrong forever after the person who had the password left.

Clay reads the hours from your Google listing, the one you already keep right because it is the one customers see, and puts them on the page with today marked and a line at the top that says whether you are open now.

What it actually says

Not a table. An answer.

Somebody standing outside with a phone wants one word. The line says open or closed, and then when that changes: "Open until 17:00", "Closed, opens Thursday at 9".

The full week is under it, in their own time, with today picked out.

What you get

four glazed doughnuts in a box

Split days handled

Closed between three and five, open again for dinner, a day can have two windows, because plenty of businesses do.

In the right timezone

The open-now line is computed in the business's own timezone, not the visitor's.

One place to change them

Change your normal week on Google and there is one thing to update, not two. A one-off, a bank holiday, an early close, is a separate exception we do not read, so you change that here.

Your photographs, already sorted

Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.

Questions

Do they update automatically?

They come from your Google listing when the site is built and when it is regenerated. You can also edit them on the site directly.

What about a one-off closure?

Change it here, on the site. Google keeps a one-off, a bank holiday, an early close, as a special hour SEPARATE from your normal week, and Clay does not read those, so setting it only on Google would leave this page saying you are open on a day you are shut. Set it on Google as well, because that is where people look first.

Can I hide the hours?

Yes, if you have none worth showing, a business that works by appointment, for instance.

Does it use the visitor's timezone or mine?

Yours. Somebody looking at a Bali café from Amsterdam wants to know whether it is open in Bali, and the line says so.

Is it marked up for search engines?

Yes, the hours go into the page's structured data as well as onto the page, which is what lets a search result show them.

What about seasonal hours?

Change them when the season changes and the page changes with them. If you keep your Google listing right, there is one place to update rather than two: how the listing feeds the site.

Can I show hours for two locations?

Each location is its own site with its own address and its own hours. Extra sites are on a paid plan.
