The problem: a backup that was never restored as a drill. The Google Business hours data is out of sync for a driving school.

We checked the WHOIS for a driving school and found the domain was registered under a former employee. Transferring it took more time than fixing Google Business hours.

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.

The job started when a driving school realised their Google Business hours had been wrong for months. Nobody noticed because the site still loaded.

The worst Google Business hours failure we have seen at a driving school was invisible for eight months. The backup existed but had never been tested, and the data inside was three migrations old.

HTTPS is table stakes, but Google Business hours is where trust actually lives for a driving school. A padlock with a misconfigured record behind it is decoration, not security.
