Getting Started

Add Your Booking Link to Google Maps


When customers search for your business on Google, they see your Google Business Profile — the card with your name, address, hours, and reviews. You can add your Addagio booking link there so customers book directly from Google Maps.


Why this matters


  • Google Maps gets 1 billion+ users/month — your booking link is visible to all of them
  • "Book" button appears on your profile — one tap to book, no searching for your website
  • Free traffic — every click from Maps to your booking page costs you nothing
  • Trust signal — Google sees real businesses using your booking system
  • Mobile-first — 60%+ of Maps searches are on mobile, your booking page is mobile-optimized

  • Setup (5 minutes)


    Step 1: Open Google Business Profile


    Go to business.google.com and sign in with the Google account that manages your business listing.


    If you don't have a Google Business Profile yet, create one — it's free and essential for local SEO.


    Step 2: Find your Addagio booking URL


    Your booking URL is:

    https://addagio.io/book/your-business-slug


    Find it in Dashboard → Settings under "Booking URL". Copy it.


    Step 3: Set your website link


    In Google Business Profile:

  • Click Edit profile
  • Find Website
  • Paste your Addagio booking URL
  • Click Save

  • Your Google Maps listing now links directly to your booking page.


    Step 4: Add appointment link (optional but recommended)


    Some business categories show a dedicated "Book" or "Make an appointment" button. To set it:


  • In Google Business Profile, go to Edit profile
  • Look for Appointment link or Booking URL (under "More" or "Business information")
  • Paste your Addagio booking URL
  • Click Save

  • Not all business categories have this option. If you don't see it, the website link from Step 3 is sufficient.


    Step 5: Add booking to your Google Maps description


    While you're in the profile editor, update your business description to mention online booking:


    "Book online at addagio.io/book/your-slug — instant confirmation, no phone calls needed."


    This helps customers know they can book directly.


    What customers see


    After setup, when someone searches for your business on Google:


  • Desktop: Your business card shows a "Website" link that goes to your booking page
  • Mobile: A prominent "Website" or "Book" button appears
  • Google Maps app: Tap your listing → "Website" or "Book" button → opens your Addagio booking page

  • Add your Google Place ID for review automation


    While you're in Google Business Profile, grab your Place ID:


  • Go to Google's Place ID Finder
  • Search for your business
  • Copy the Place ID (starts with "ChIJ...")
  • Paste it in Dashboard → Settings → Automation → Google Place ID

  • This enables automatic review requests — after each completed booking, we send your customers a direct link to leave a Google review.


    Tips


  • Keep your Addagio page and Google profile consistent — same business name, same address, same phone number. Google rewards consistency (NAP matching).
  • Add photos to both — your Google profile should have the same quality photos as your booking page.
  • Respond to Google reviews — active engagement on your profile improves your Maps ranking.
  • Update your hours — make sure Google Maps hours match your Addagio availability. Inconsistency confuses customers and hurts rankings.

  • FAQ


    Does this cost anything?


    No. Google Business Profile is free. Addagio booking links are free on all plans.


    Will Google penalize me for linking to a booking page instead of my own website?


    No. Many businesses link to their booking system from Google Maps. Google explicitly supports this with the "Appointment link" field.


    Can I link to my booking page AND my regular website?


    Yes. Use the "Website" field for your main website and the "Appointment link" field for your Addagio booking page. If you only have one option, use the Addagio link — it's more valuable for conversions.


    How long until the link appears?


    Changes to your Google Business Profile typically appear within 24-48 hours. Sometimes sooner.
