The Schema.org property priceRange gives the range of approximate prices of the products/services typically offered by that LocalBusiness.

There seem to be two formats used in examples:

  • Specify as many currency symbols as there are digits in the price. So for prices from 100 to 999, you would use ₸₸₸; for prices from 10 to 99, you would use ₸₸ etc.

    (used in example 4 on LocalBusiness)

  • Specify the actual range, e.g. for prices from 90 to 240, then you would use 90 ₸ - 240 ₸ etc.

    (used in example 1 on Hotel)

In the issue priceRange property is ambiguous, this property gets discussed (it might get deprecated in the future, or at least defined more clearly, but we’ll have to see).
