Online Booking on Maps: Make Sure Customers Find You
Last modified:
Every day thousands of people open maps and type: “manicure nearby,” “hair salon by the metro,” “salon near the office”. Customers want to find something quickly and as close as possible 📍
If your business is already on Google Maps — that’s great. But it will be even better if a “Book Now” button appears next to your salon name ✨
NB! ⚠️ The "Book Now" button can only be added to projects with the "Company" type in DIKIDI.
Online booking through maps is one of the easiest and most effective ways to attract customers. No need to write in Direct, wait for replies or search for a link.
The customer finds you on the map ➝ clicks “Book Now” ➝ picks their preferred time slot. That’s all it takes 🙌
Why online booking on maps works
🔹 It’s the fastest way to book an appointment. No extra steps — as soon as the client finds you on the map, they can book instantly.
🔹 You’re in the right place at the right time. When someone is actively searching for a nearby service, they find you. In fact, studies show that 76% of people who do a “near me” search visit a business the same day.
🔹 You come across as professional. Offering instant booking builds trust and makes it easier for customers to choose you.
And you save time. The customer books themselves at a convenient time, and you get a confirmed appointment in DIKIDI.
