How To Set Up Booking On Your Google Business Profile
Booking Module via Desktop
Once you login (how to login) to your Google Business Profile via your desktop computer, you’ll see the “booking icon (if available for your business category). After clicking it, you’ll be directed to a “set up booking page” or to a page with your online booking links (if you’ve already set booking up). We’ll explore each of these in this Chapter.
Setup Booking
If this is your first time accessing the “booking” feature, Google brings you to a “set up booking page”. You’ll see two sections:
Featured Book Button. This is where you set up any third party booking, reservation or scheduling apps Google makes available to you.
Links To Your Online Booking Tools. This section is where you add or edit your custom booking links.
Sign Up With A Provider
This is where you can sign up with one of Google’s approved third party booking applications. The apps Google make available to you are based upon your industry and category classification.
