Grow your Business with Google Reserve
Grow your Business with Google Reserve
Boost your visibility to potential clients. Learn how to enable Google Reserve to allow clients to book your services directly through Google.
Getting started
Google Reserve enables your business to appear in Google Search and Maps with direct booking buttons. It seamlessly integrates with Fresha, and bookings made via Google will automatically sync with your calendar.
Prior to enabling Google Reserve:
- You'll need to register your business with Google, ensuring that the Business name and location address listed on your Google business profile are an exact match of the details you’ve entered on Fresha.
- Publish your Marketplace profile to enable Google Reserve through Fresha.
Booking using Google Reserve
For the Book button to appear on your Google business profile, your Google profile, and your Fresha business profile must meet all the following criteria:
- Set up bookings through Fresha using these steps.
- Your Google business profile must comply with Google's guidelines.
- Your business name and location address on Fresha must match exactly with your Google business profile.
- Your Fresha profile must be listed on Fresha's Marketplace. Unlisted profiles will not have a Book button.
- Ensure your team members have scheduled shifts within the next 30 days.
- The services menu must display the actual price of the services (services should not be set as free or have the value 0).
- Do not include emojis, price, or duration within the service names or descriptions.
- Your business must be within the beauty and wellness industry. If your business is outside of this (e.g. dog groomers) it will not be listed on the Fresha Marketplace and a no Book button will appear on your Google business profile.
Changes to your service prices on Fresha may take up to 24 hours to update on Google.
