Closing for Christmas? Update these too

  1. Your door. Post the sign about two weeks ahead, and again the day before.
  2. Google. In your Business Profile choose Edit profile, then Hours, then Special hours, and add December 25 as closed or with your short hours. Google may confirm hours with you around holidays; answering keeps your listing from showing “hours might differ”.
  3. Apple Maps and Yelp. Both have a special-hours setting: Apple Business Connect and Yelp for Business.
  4. Your website and voicemail. One line at the top of your site and in your greeting: “Closed Fri, Dec 25, back Sat, Dec 26.”
  5. Deliveries. USPS won't deliver regular mail. Ask your other carriers to hold or reroute.
