How to Update Hours on GMB (Google Business Profile)

GMB is the old name. Now it is Google Business Profile. It shows on Google Search and Google Maps. If your hours are wrong, people may come at the wrong time.

What you need

  • The Google account that owns the profile
  • Your real hours for each day (Mon–Sun)

Tip: If you do not see edit tools, you may not have access.
