2) Easy booking

Tech is all about making life easier, right? With Reserve with Google, you unlock a game-changing advantage: simple online booking processes. 

Let’s say you own a zen yoga studio. Potential yogis in your area could easily find your business from Search or Maps and see a ‘Book’ button. Once clicked, they’ll be directed straight to your Booking Page where they can reserve a slot in one of your classes. 

No need to navigate through multiple websites or make phone calls to secure a spot. They can even book into virtual classes and receive video links via email as usual.

With a smooth booking experience, you increase the chances of transforming leads into loyal customers. This simple route eliminates the need for calls, drop-ins or emails. And, the speed and ease of booking will leave a lasting impression from the very first appointment.

3) Mobile-optimized experience
