Set Business Hours on Google Business Profile
What the Ghost Found

  2. Navigate to 'Edit profile' and select the 'Hours' section.
  3. Enter accurate opening and closing times for every day of the week, including any special holiday or seasonal hours.

  2. Format the file in plain text following the llms.txt specification, ensuring each section heading and entry is correctly structured and free of HTML or encoding errors.
  3. Upload the completed llms.txt file to the web root so it is publicly accessible at https://www.sagehill.com/llms.txt.
  4. Confirm the file is live by opening https://www.sagehill.com/llms.txt in a browser and verifying the correct content is returned with a 200 HTTP status code.
