Step-by-step guide
Define Your Booking Type
Determine whether you need appointment scheduling, class booking, room reservation, or service booking.
- Single-slot bookings work for consultations and appointments
- Class-style bookings support multiple people per time slot
- Service bookings need duration and provider selection
Set Up Date and Time
Add date pickers, time selectors, and availability rules. Block off unavailable dates and set business hours.
- Show availability clearly — don't let users pick unavailable times
- Set buffer time between appointments for prep
- Offer timezone selection for remote bookings
Add Service Options
Let customers choose services, durations, and any add-ons. Show pricing clearly for paid services.
- List services with descriptions and expected duration
- Offer package deals for multiple services
- Show the total cost before asking for payment
Collect Customer Details
Get name, email, phone, and any information needed for the appointment (reason for visit, preferences).
- Only ask for information you actually need
- For medical appointments, include relevant health questions
- Add a notes field for special requests
Configure Confirmations & Reminders
Set up automatic confirmation emails and SMS reminders to reduce no-shows.
- Send confirmation immediately after booking
- Set up reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before
- Include rescheduling and cancellation links in reminders
Embed and Launch
Add the booking form to your website. Share the link on Google Business, social media, and email.
- Add the booking link to your Google Business profile
- Include it in your email signature
- Use the popup widget on every page of your website
