Scheduling

Enable online booking and appointment scheduling directly from your Google Business Profile.

Overview

Google Business Profile allows you to integrate third-party scheduling systems, making it easy for customers to book appointments directly from Google Search and Maps. This feature is available for service-based businesses like salons, restaurants, medical practices, and more.

How scheduling works
