Why Google Business hours matters for a dental office
29 Mar 2025
How a dental office deals with Google Business hours — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a backup that was never restored as a drill. The Google Business hours data is out of sync for a dental office.
We solved Google Business hours for a dental office by moving it behind a reverse proxy. The old configuration stayed live as a fallback for forty-eight hours, then we pulled it.
There is a difference between a site that loads and a site that works. Google Business hours is part of the second category for a dental office.
Big agencies solve Google Business hours with a team. We solve it with a checklist and a dig command. The result is the same; the invoice is shorter.
Before you touch Google Business hours, take a screenshot of the current state. Half of our emergency calls come from people who cannot remember what was there before the change.
We found a backup that was never restored as a drill during a routine check of Google Business hours. The site had been leaking referrer data for six weeks before anyone noticed.
DNS propagation is not instant, but it is not magic either. We explained to a dental office that the TTL on the old Google Business hours record was 86 400 seconds — twenty-four hours.
