NEW New Google My Business Feature: "Add Time" Option for "Offer" Google Posts

[Colan Nielsen]

Our team noticed a new feature when creating an offer type Google post where Google is allowing the user to enter a specific time of day. The feature has a toggle button so it can be turned on or off.

Anyone else seeing this? Have you tested it out yet?

That feature has been there for as long as I can remember, though I think it previously said something like "Add event time" or "All-day event".

That's been true for the Event post type, but this is for an Offer post type

I'm pretty sure it has also been there for the Offer post type (I've had the feature built into my WordPress plugin for 2-3 years). But I won't be surprised if Google did a staged rollout on the feature like they did with other features

At least since April, I took this screenshot then:

It's not a "only show the post a specific time of day", it's a "push the post out from time a to time b" from what I can tell.

So "show it from specifically 5pm Friday to 6am Monday", instead of "show it from 3pm-9pm this Monday through Friday".

Is that everyone else's understanding?
