What we observe
We read the opening hours in the business entry of the structured data and look for the same hours in the text of the pages we read.
Why it is here: the evidence
Documented A platform’s own published document or code says this is read: a standard the crawlers follow, or the documentation or source code of the company that runs the system.
Source: Google Search Central, AI features and your website: make sure your structured data matches the visible text on the page. Source grade A: read at the source: the document, the code or the study itself.

What we cannot see
Hours written in a form our reader does not parse, such as “9 to 5”, and hours shown only in an image or a map.
How to fix it
Give your hours in the structured data in the same form your pages show them, and change both together.
- Layer
- Represent: Are your name, phone number, address and hours the same on every page an AI crawler reads, and in the business details your site declares?
- Level
- One of the checks of Level 2: Is what it reads about your business the same everywhere, and can it find where to act?
- How common it is
- Not published yet. We publish a share only once at least 30 sites stand behind it.
