Free LocalBusiness JSON-LD generator: turn your name, phone, address and hours into schema markup for your local business website.
A local business schema generator turns a few plain business details into LocalBusiness JSON-LD markup — structured code that tells Google, in its own format, that your website belongs to a real local business with a name, a phone number, an address and opening hours. You paste that code into your website, and search engines no longer have to guess those facts from scattered text on the page.
That clarity matters for a small business. A customer searching on a phone wants to know, in seconds, whether you are open, where you are and how to call you. Schema does not create that information. It simply hands it to Google in a form Google can read reliably, instead of leaving it buried in a footer paragraph or an image.
Why does a local business need schema when Google already lists it?
A Google Business Profile helps, but it is not the same as schema on your own website. Schema gives Google a second, matching source directly from your site, so your name, phone number, address and hours are easier to confirm and display consistently in local search results.
Think of it this way: your Google profile is rented space on Google's property, while your website is yours. When the two agree, Google has less reason to doubt either one. When they disagree — an old phone number on the site, new hours only on the profile — Google has to choose, and customers can end up calling the wrong number or arriving after closing time.
Schema is also a quiet consistency check. Writing it forces you to settle on one canonical version of your details and use it everywhere.
Schema is a statement, not a promise. Adding markup does not guarantee a rich result, a map pack position or a ranking boost. Google decides what to show. What schema does is remove ambiguity, so Google can show the right facts when it chooses to show them.
What the local business schema generator actually asks for
CodexFuse's tool keeps the form deliberately short. It asks for exactly four things, each in a single text field, and then generates LocalBusiness JSON-LD markup from them. There is no business-type dropdown, no separate street, city and postcode fields, and no review or price fields to fill in.
| Field on the tool | What to enter | Worked-example value |
|---|---|---|
| Business name | Your trading name, exactly as customers know it | The Corner Oven |
| Phone | The number you actually answer during opening hours | +44 117 496 0200 |
| Address | Your full address in one line | 14 Gloucester Road, Bristol BS7 8AE |
| Opening hours | Your days and times in the tool's short format | Mo-Sa 08:00-18:00 |
The tool opens with example values already filled in, such as a placeholder business name and a sample address. Replace every one of them. Leaving a placeholder in your markup is worse than having no markup at all, because you would be publishing someone else's details as your own.
Because the form is short, the output is basic by design. It covers identity and contact facts, not menus, services, prices, reviews or multiple locations. That is an honest limit to plan around: this tool is a starting point for a single-location business, not a complete structured-data system for a chain or a complex service business.
A worked example with the local business schema generator: a bakery that kept losing Saturday customers
Consider a fictional neighbourhood bakery, The Corner Oven in Bristol. It had a steady stream of Saturday-morning visitors, but also a recurring problem: people arrived at 17:30 expecting it to be open, because an old directory listing still showed evening hours, while its own website mentioned hours only in a photo of a chalkboard.
Here is the exact end-to-end run through the tool, using fictional details throughout:
- Open the tool and clear the examples: open the local business schema generator and replace the pre-filled business name, phone, address and opening hours with the bakery's own details.
- Enter the four facts: business name "The Corner Oven", phone "+44 117 496 0200", address "14 Gloucester Road, Bristol BS7 8AE", and opening hours "Mo-Sa 08:00-18:00". Note the Sunday closure is implied by the Mo-Sa range, so the bakery also checks that its website and Google profile say the same thing.
- Generate the markup: click the orange "Generate Local Business Schema" button. The generated LocalBusiness JSON-LD appears in the output area headed "Generated Local Business Schema", replacing the placeholder text.
- Read it before you publish it: check that the name, phone, address and hours in the output match the bakery's real details character for character. A single wrong digit in the phone number would now be published in machine-readable form.
- Add it to the website: paste the generated markup into the homepage, following the site editor's method for adding code to the page head. If the site does not allow head code, the bakery asks its web person or host to add it, rather than pasting it visibly into page text.
- Test it: run the live homepage URL through Google's Rich Results Test and fix any errors it reports. Then keep the markup in place and check Search Console over the following weeks for any structured-data issues.
The result is not dramatic, and that is the point. Nothing about the bakery's bread changed. What changed is that Google, a directory and a customer now all read the same opening hours from the same source. The Saturday confusion came from conflicting information, and schema is one practical way to end that conflict.
If your business details are scattered, outdated or only visible in images, CodexFuse's free tool turns them into clear LocalBusiness markup — and CodexFuse can then host and look after the website that carries it, fully managed, on credits, with no subscription to juggle.
Get Started with CodexFuseWhere to put the local business schema generator output, and how to check it
Put the JSON-LD on the pages it describes — for most single-location businesses, that means the homepage at minimum. Do not paste it on every page of a large site without thinking: markup should describe the page it sits on, and a contact page, a blog post and a product page are not all the same thing.
After publishing, verification is a separate step, and it matters more than generation:
- Test the live URL: use Google's Rich Results Test on the published page, not on a draft, to confirm Google can read the markup without errors.
- Watch Search Console: look for structured-data reports and fix warnings promptly, especially after you change hours or move premises.
- Check the customer view: search for your business as a customer would, on a phone, and confirm the hours and phone number shown match the ones you just published.
- Update in one place, then everywhere: when hours change, update the markup, your Google profile and your website text together, on the same day.
If you use a broader JSON-LD generator for other page types, keep the same discipline. One accurate set of facts, repeated consistently, beats five clever markup blocks that contradict each other.
Before generating anything, write your four facts on paper exactly as you want Google to show them, including the country code on the phone number and the postcode in the address. Typing from a settled decision is faster, and far less error-prone, than improvising inside the form.
What schema will not fix
It is easy to over-promise structured data, so here are the limits in plain terms. Schema will not fix a wrong Google Business Profile, a closed business that still looks open, inconsistent listings across directories, or a website that loads slowly and frustrates visitors. It will not create reviews, and this particular generator does not add review, menu or service markup at all.
It also will not help if the underlying facts are wrong. A local business schema generator faithfully turns your inputs into code. If you enter old hours, it will publish old hours in a format Google trusts more, which makes the mistake worse, not better. Check the inputs, check the output, and check the live page.
For a fuller picture of how your listing looks from the outside, pair this step with a Google Business Profile audit. Schema on your site and an accurate profile are complementary: each one makes the other more believable. Related markup types, such as an article schema for blog posts or FAQ schema for question pages, cover different page types and should not be confused with LocalBusiness markup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a local business schema generator free to use?
The CodexFuse tool is presented as a free, unlimited tool. You open the page, enter your business details and generate LocalBusiness JSON-LD markup without a payment step on the tool itself.
Do I need to know how to code to use the output?
No. You only need to copy the generated markup into your website's page head, or ask whoever manages your site to do it. You do not need to write JSON-LD by hand, but you should still read the output and confirm your details are correct before publishing.
Will adding LocalBusiness schema improve my Google ranking?
Not directly, and no honest tool should promise that. Schema helps Google understand and display your facts accurately, which can support local visibility, but rankings also depend on relevance, reviews, distance, website quality and many other factors.
What if my business has more than one location?
This generator covers a single set of details at a time, so generate one markup block per location and place each one on the page for that location. For a multi-location business, a more detailed structured-data setup, managed with your web developer, is usually the right next step.
How often should I update my LocalBusiness markup?
Whenever a fact changes: new phone number, new address, seasonal hours, or a permanent change to opening days. Update the markup, your Google profile and your website text together, then re-test the live page.
Can schema replace my Google Business Profile?
No. Your profile is where customers find reviews, photos, directions and posts, and it remains essential for local search. Schema on your own website complements it by giving Google a matching, trustworthy source for the same core facts.
Put your business facts in order, then keep them in order
Start today: settle your one canonical name, phone number, address and hours, generate your LocalBusiness markup with the free tool, add it to your homepage, and test the live page. Then fix the matching details on your Google profile and any directory that still shows the old version.
If that whole chain — website, hosting, business email and security — is currently spread across separate subscriptions, each with its own renewal, login and support queue, that fragmentation is exactly the problem CodexFuse is built to remove. Move your website hosting to CodexFuse, keep your email and backups in the same managed place, and pay with credits as you use services, with no subscription lock-in. Generate your schema now, get your facts straight, and then give your business one managed home for everything behind it.
