How do I temporarily close my business or change my business hours?

You can submit updates to your hours of operation as frequently as necessary. If your business is closed for a short period of time and not providing takeout, delivery or virtual services, you can mark it as temporarily closed. If you mark your business as temporarily closed your business page may appear lower in search results, but you will still be able to fully access and update your business account.

To expedite the display of updates on your page, claim your business on biz.yelp.com or via the Yelp for Business app and log in. Yelp’s claim your business feature is free and allows updates to take effect immediately as they come directly from the business itself.
