Convert Automotive Location Data to LocalBusiness Schema
✓ TestedWorks with CSV, Excel, Google Sheets → JSON-LD Schema
By dataclean.to team · 2026-02-05
Automotive dealerships, repair shops, and parts stores operate physical locations serving local customers. LocalBusiness schema enables Google Maps and local search visibility with hours, contact information, and service offerings. Converting CSV location data to structured markup ensures consistent representation across multi-location automotive businesses.
The Problem
Automotive location data in CSV format includes addresses, phone numbers, operating hours, and service offerings without LocalBusiness schema markup. Franchise dealership groups and service center chains require structured data for each location. Manual schema creation for location pages is time-intensive when managing data for regional operations with dozens of automotive service facilities. Schema.org LocalBusiness Specification

Set Operating Hours
Business hours convert to OpeningHoursSpecification with day-of-week and time ranges. Special hours for holidays and service departments are supported.
5
Export LocalBusiness JSON-LD
Download JSON-LD markup for location pages. Schema includes geo coordinates, payment methods, parking information, and aggregate ratings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use AutoDealer, AutoRepair, or generic LocalBusiness?
Use AutoDealer for new and used car dealerships, AutoRepair for independent repair shops and service centers, and AutoPartsStore for parts retailers. These subtypes provide automotive-specific context in search results.
How do I represent multiple departments at one location?
Use the department property to list sales, service, and parts departments as separate LocalBusiness entries with the same address but different hours and contact information.
Can I include franchise relationships in the schema?
Yes, use the parentOrganization property to link the location to the franchise parent company or manufacturer. This establishes brand relationships in the knowledge graph.
