A Google Business Profile is managed separately. Use the most specific accurate subtype, such as `**Dentist**`, `**Restaurant**`, or `**ProfessionalService**`, rather than the generic `**LocalBusiness**` type. ## JSON-LD Example ``` { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "LocalBusiness", "name": "Dave's Steak House", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "148 W 51st St", "addressLocality": "New York", "addressRegion": "NY", "postalCode": "10019", "addressCountry": "US" }, "telephone": "+12122459600", "openingHoursSpecification": [ { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"], "opens": "11:30", "closes": "23:00" } ] } ``` Use the [**~~Schema.org Generator~~**](https://unhead.unjs.io/tools/schema-generator) to build your structured data visually. ## Schema.org LocalBusiness **Type**: `defineLocalBusiness>(input?: LocalBusiness & T)` Describes a business that customers can visit. Use it for the business behind a website or on a page about a specific location. ## Useful Links - [**~~LocalBusiness - Schema.org~~**](https://schema.org/LocalBusiness) - [**~~Local Business Schema Markup - Google Search Central~~**](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/local-business) - [**~~Choose an Identity - LocalBusiness~~**](https://unhead.unjs.io/docs/schema-org/guides/recipes/identity#localbusiness) ## Google requirements Google requires both `**name**` and `**address**` for a LocalBusiness rich result. The Unhead input type inherits `**name**` from Organization but leaves `**address**` optional, so the helper does not enforce this requirement. - **name** `**string**` The name of the business. - **address** `**NodeRelations**`: [**~~PostalAddress~~**](https://schema.org/PostalAddress) The physical address of the business. ## Recommended Properties - **openingHoursSpecification** `**NodeRelations**`: [**~~OpeningHoursSpecification~~**](https://schema.org/OpeningHoursSpecification) The specification for when the business is open. - **paymentAccepted** `**string**` The methods of payment accepted by the business. ### Minimal Example ``` defineLocalBusiness({ name: 'Harbor Dental', logo: '/logo.png', address: { addressCountry: 'Australia', postalCode: '2000', streetAddress: '123 st', }, openingHoursSpecification: [ { dayOfWeek: 'Saturday', opens: '09:30', closes: '13:30', }, { dayOfWeek: ['Monday', 'Tuesday'], opens: '10:30', closes: '15:30', }, ] }) ``` ## Defaults - **@type**: `**['Organization', 'LocalBusiness']**` - **@id**: `**${canonicalHost}#identity**` - **url**: `**${canonicalHost}**` - **currenciesAccepted**: `**currency**` from resolved page metadata.
