Google Business Profile for pubs and bars

The first thing most people see of your pub is its Google listing, often before they’ve seen the sign. LocalQuiver keeps the hours, special opening times, description and contact details right, on one simple screen, with every change shown old against new before it goes to Google.

How it works for pubs and bars

01

Special hours for the busy dates

Set Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and bank holiday hours ahead of time, and Google shows them when the day comes. It saves the awkward phone calls, and the walkers who turn up hoping for lunch.

02

A description that sounds like you

Use up to Google’s 750 characters on the real fire, the guest ales, the quiz and the dog bowls by the door, with a live count as you type. When you save, only the fields you changed are sent.

03

The yes-or-no details Google asks

Tick the attributes Google offers for your category, which can include things like outdoor seating or live music, and add service names and links to your Facebook and Instagram. Details like these help the right people pick you.

04

Changes in Google flow back

Your listing is re-read every hour, so if you change something inside Google directly, LocalQuiver picks it up. The same details feed your website and review page, so all three say the same thing.

Summer hours at The Old Bell Yard

Seven days a week, and Google agreed

Martin closes The Old Bell Yard on Mondays in winter, then opens seven days once the beer garden gets going. Every spring, Google lagged behind and walkers rang to ask. This year he changed the hours on one screen, added special hours for the May bank holidays, and checked old against new before sending only what had changed. The new description mentions the garden and the dog bowls too, and his website picked up the same hours by itself.

The film

Connect once with your own Google sign-in, update your description, phone, website, opening and holiday hours, services and social links on one screen, check old against new and send only the changes; your logo and cover photo come from your brand kit, and the listing is re-read hourly. It works the same way for pubs and bars.

Questions

No. The business name, address, map pin and categories stay with Google’s own tools. LocalQuiver edits the things pubs change most often: hours, special hours, description, phone, website, services, social links and the yes-or-no attributes for your category.

No. You connect once with your own Google sign-in and pick your pub’s listing. Nobody at LocalQuiver sees your password, and you can withdraw access from your Google account whenever you like, without needing to ask us first.

Not to the photo gallery, as gallery uploads stay inside Google. You can set your logo and cover photo on Google from the Brand kit, and the photos on your Google listing already appear on the website we build, which re-reads them every hour.
