Adding Business Hours to A Facebook Page

Would you like to add business hours to your Facebook page? Do you not know how to go about doing that? It's quite simple. On this post, steps to add business hours to a Facebook page will be stated. Read on to find these steps.

Depending on the category of your business, Facebook automatically makes provision which allows you to add your hours of operation. Take for instance, a business category such as restaurant will definitely require hours of operation. On the contrary, provisions are not made for businesses that are categorized as a brand or musician or basically any other operation that typically requires no operatory hours.

Requirement for Adding Business Hours to Your Facebook Page

To add business hours to your Facebook page, your business category must be "Local Businesses". Just in case you did not use this category and would like to add business hours to you page, the steps to edit your business category to Local Businesses will be stated first.
