How to create a booking page for your business
A booking page is the difference between “DM me for appointments” and a business that fills its own calendar. Here’s the whole process — it genuinely takes about ten minutes.
Step 1: Define your bookable services
List what people actually book — not your whole craft, just the door they walk in through. For each service you need three things: a clear name, a price, and an honest duration. “Haircut — $35 — 30 min.” Honest durations matter most: they’re what stops your day from overbooking.
Start with 3–6 services. You can always add more; a shorter menu converts better than a long one.
Step 2: Set your real hours
Opening time, closing time, and which days you’re closed. The booking page will only ever offer slots inside these — so make them the hours you truly want bookings, not the hours you’re theoretically awake.
Step 3: Create the page
On Reservy: sign up free, add the services from step 1, set the hours from step 2, and your page exists at reservy.co/b/your-business — with your services, prices, and live availability. No design work, no domain to buy, no plugin to configure.
Step 4: Put the link where clients look
A booking page nobody sees books nobody. The big four placements:
- Instagram bio — the #1 slot for most service businesses; add it to story highlights too.
- WhatsApp — your status, your business profile, and as your standard reply to “do you have anything free?”
- Google Business Profile — add it as your appointment link so “near me” searchers can book directly.
- Anywhere you already answer booking questions: Facebook page, email signature, printed card by the register.
Step 5: Answer every “are you free?” with the link
The habit that makes it stick: for two weeks, reply to every booking DM with one warm line plus your link. Clients learn the new door fast — and your DMs go back to being conversations instead of a call center.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a website first?
No. The booking page is a complete standalone page with your name, services, prices, and live availability. If you later build a website, link the two — but plenty of businesses run on the booking page alone.
What if I need to control certain bookings by hand?
Keep those services off the public menu and book them yourself in the app — the schedule is shared, so hand-placed and online bookings can never collide.
