Examples
LocalBusiness schema, in practice.
Illustrative businesses to show what the markup includes. They aren't real listings.
A bike repair shop
Input: North Shore Bicycle Repairs, https://example.com, public address and phone. No stars, ratings, service areas or coordinates that weren't given.
ResultValid LocalBusiness JSON-LD with only those fields.
A dental practice with hours
Input: Harbor Family Dental, Dentist subtype, public address, phone and weekday opening hours. A more specific subtype fits better than plain LocalBusiness.
ResultDentist JSON-LD with address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification.
A café without a website phone
Input: Corner Street Café, CafeOrCoffeeShop subtype, address and opening hours, no phone listed. Fields you don't provide are left out rather than guessed.

Good to know
Getting schema right.
What LocalBusiness schema is for
A standardized way to describe a business to search engines. Depending on type and page, it can communicate location, contact details and opening hours. The markup must match what people can see on the page.
Accuracy matters more than extra fields
Don't fill schema with keywords, fake reviews or an address the company doesn't use publicly. An invalid type or hidden claims can hurt rich result eligibility. Keep hours and contact details current, and use a more specific subtype when it fits.
What schema can't do
Structured data helps describe your page but does not guarantee a special search result or better ranking.
