# Business opening-hours social post checklist

Confirm which location, date range and visit arrangement changed before publishing. Temporary closure, new weekly hours and a special collection window are different updates. Keep the maintained destination and active dated announcements consistent.

Publication checks
[ ] The update names the location it applies to.
[ ] A temporary arrangement includes its actual date range.
[ ] An appointment or collection window is not presented as general shop hours.
[ ] The maintained destination agrees with the announcement.
[ ] Active posts with specific old hours are corrected where necessary.
[ ] People with an existing booking have the actual contact route.


## Review the actual material

- [ ] The update names the location it applies to.

- [ ] A temporary arrangement includes its actual date range.

- [ ] An appointment or collection window is not presented as general shop hours.

- [ ] The maintained destination agrees with the announcement.

- [ ] Active posts with specific old hours are corrected where necessary.

- [ ] People with an existing booking have the actual contact route.

## Handle the specific situation

"Situation","Useful information","What to distinguish"
"New weekly hours","Days and times starting on the confirmed date","Keep the enduring hours destination current"
"A one-day closure","Exact date and the next actual open arrangement","Do not imply a permanent closure"
"Collection outside normal hours","Which confirmed orders and window it applies to","Separate collection from ordinary walk-in visits"
"Multiple locations","The affected branch","Check each location's destination separately"


## Complete the handoff

An image reading 'today' becomes unclear when shared later. Use the actual date when the information is time-sensitive. Test the destination from the post as a new visitor, then confirm an existing customer can find the route for their own booking or collection question.
