LocalBusiness Schema - JSON-LD Guide & Examples

Copy for LLMs
On this page

LocalBusiness structured data tells Google about a physical business location, including its name, address, opening hours, and services. 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 to build your structured data visually.

Google requirements

Google requires both name and address for a LocalBusiness rich result. The Unhead input type requires both properties.

  • name string
    The name of the business.
  • address NodeRelations<PostalAddress>: PostalAddress
    The physical address of the business.

Recommended Properties

  • openingHoursSpecification NodeRelations<OpeningHoursSpecification>: 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',
    },
  ]
})

Resolves

See Global Resolves for full context.

  • for the primary identity, a string logo creates a root ImageObject with the #logo ID and a compact Organization node with the absolute logo URL
  • @type resolve: Dentist -> ['Organization', 'LocalBusiness', 'Dentist']
  • aggregateRating, department, geo, and review resolve as typed nested nodes
  • a relative menu URL becomes absolute
