Day 2 - Rewrite Your Description + Verify Your Business Hours

PART 1 - Rewrite Your Google Description

A great Google description answers 4 things instantly:

  1. Who you help

  2. What you do

  3. What makes you different

  4. Why customers trust you

We use this simple structure:

“We help (customer type) with (service) by providing (value). We’re known for (trust point).”

Below are LOTS of examples so every business can find themselves.

PART 2 - Verify Your Business Hours

Incorrect hours quietly destroy trust.
Customers think:

  • “Are they actually open?”

  • “Do they even update their information?”

  • “Will they even answer the phone?”

Fixing this is easy.


STEP 1 - Confirm Your Regular Hours

Update hours to match exactly when you take calls or serve customers.

Examples:

Trades
Mon–Fri: 8am–5pm
Emergency service: specify in description or messaging.

Restaurants
Mon–Sun: specific open/close times.

Salons / Massage / Clinics
List availability + any days closed.


STEP 2 - Add Holiday Hours (VERY IMPORTANT)

Google boosts businesses that plan ahead.

Add special hours for:

  • Holidays

  • Long weekends

  • Seasonal changes

  • Known closures (e.g., staff training days)

Even if you’re open, confirming hours builds trust.


STEP 3 - Double Check

Make sure:

✔ No typos
✔ Times are correct for every day
✔ Holiday hours are filled in
✔ Description looks clean and clear

This takes less than 2 minutes.


Day 2 Complete!

Today, you made your business instantly more understandable and reliable.

Customers now know:

  • who you help

  • what you do

  • why they should trust you

  • when you're open

Small changes → BIG trust impact.
