Google My Business is an excellent tool for businesses looking to increase their online presence. However, many business owners are not aware of all the features that Google My Business offers. In this article, we will be discussing how to add an appointment link to your Google My Business profile.
Why Add an Appointment Link?
Adding an appointment link to your Google My Business profile can make it easier for potential customers to book an appointment with you. By adding an appointment link, customers can book an appointment directly through your website without having to call or email you. This can be especially useful for businesses that operate on an appointment-only basis.
How to Add an Appointment Link
First, make sure you are logged into your Google My Business profile. Once you are logged in, navigate to the “Info” section on the left-hand side of the dashboard. Scroll down until you see the “Appointment Links” section.
Note: The appointment link option may not be available for everyone. It will only appear if you have an applicable category.
Next, you will need to go to your website to find the appointment link. You can click on the phone number listed on your website, but this will only initiate a FaceTime call. Instead, look for a “Contact Us” section or something similar on your website. From there, you can find a way to make an appointment.
Once you have found the appointment link on your website, copy the link from the address bar. Then, go to a campaign URL builder and paste the link in the “website URL” box. Make sure that your campaign source medium and campaign name are correct if you have a Google Analytics campaign running.
Copy the generated URL and go back to your Google My Business profile. Click on the “Appointment Links” section and paste the URL in the designated area. Click “Apply,” and Google will review the link to ensure that it is safe and appropriate.
Conclusion
Adding an appointment link to your Google My Business profile can make it easier for potential customers to book an appointment with you. By streamlining the appointment-making process, you can increase the number of appointments you receive. If you have any questions or need assistance with your Google My Business profile, contact a professional for help.
