Announce your holiday hours everywhere with AI

Turn your Thanksgiving-to-New-Year schedule into matching updates for Google, your website, door sign, voicemail and customers.

Estimated time saved

Estimated: 1–2 hours of writing, plus fewer locked-door surprises and missed calls. (Estimate; results vary.)

Tools
  • ChatGPT
  • Claude
  • Your Google Business Profile (special hours)
  • Your website and social accounts
  • Your phone system's voicemail greeting

The problem

Customers check Google, call, or just show up, and if your holiday hours only live on a paper sign, people find a locked door or call a voicemail that still says "open." That costs sales and gets you angry reviews.

Step by step

  1. 1Write down every day you'll close early, open late or close completely between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, plus how customers can reach you in an emergency, if that applies.
  2. 2Paste the schedule into the prompt below to get a Google post, a website banner, a door sign, a voicemail script and a customer email or text.
  3. 3Add each date as special hours in your Google Business Profile so Google shows the right hours.
  4. 4Update your website, door, voicemail and social pages on the same day, and set a reminder to switch them back after New Year's.
  5. 5Have one person double-check every date across all the places before you post.
