Visibility and reporting

Found in search, booking on your own site

Customers search for a service in their own town, not for your name. Your location page answers that search, the booking form also works on your own website, and reports tell you which services and times drew people in.

Example: the search map, your own site and a shared link all land in the same calendar.

Why this is worth using

Customers search for a service and a city

Nobody searches for a business whose name they do not know. People type a service and a city. Your location page answers that search with your services and prices, and the result also shows the queue when you keep one.

Your own site starts taking bookings

The form goes onto your page, and the booking happens there rather than somewhere else. It takes your colour. The form sets no cookies and does not measure visitors.

The report tells you what to repeat

You see revenue, average price, the most popular services and how many bookings were cancelled. The busiest times are shown by weekday and hour. That is what you use to time shifts and offers.

Example: the report shows which days and hours are the busiest.

How it works

  1. You publish the location

    Services, prices and opening hours form your location page. That is the page that appears in search and on the map, and it takes bookings directly.

  2. You take booking to your own site

    The dashboard gives you a small piece of code for the page itself, a ready-made frame for a site builder's embed block, or a plain link for a button. The link works even on platforms that do not allow code of your own.

  3. You look at what the visits left behind

    After the visit a review request goes out on its own. Reviews appear on your location page, and the month's numbers collect into reports.

A booking form that sets cookies

The banner comes first. Booking waits.

The SmoothBooking form

The customer books straight away.

On the left the banner covers the booking form. On the right there is nothing to cover.

What this includes

  • Location page and search map

    Your own page with services, prices and opening hours. You appear on the SmoothBooking search map by service and city as soon as you publish, and after the first visit marked as done the location page is opened up for search engines to index. The queue status shows in the result when you keep a queue.

  • Booking form for your own website

    A small piece of code for the page, a ready-made frame for a site builder, or a plain link for a button. The form takes your colour, and the booking lands in the same calendar as the rest.

  • Reviews from people who really visited

    Only someone who actually visited can leave a review. Reviews show on your location page and you reply to them from the dashboard.

  • Reports and Excel export

    Sales and average price from visits marked as done, cancelled bookings, the most popular services and the busiest times. The period can be exported as an Excel file.

What this does not do

  • On SmoothBooking's own search map your location shows from the moment you publish. For search engines, the location page is opened up for indexing only after the first visit marked as done.
  • The booking form sets no cookies and does not measure visitors. That choice has a price: we cannot tell you where a visitor came from or how many left in the middle of a booking.
  • The report figures come from visits marked as done and the prices on them, not from the till. Services and products are included, but the system does not see how the customer paid.
  • A negative review is not removed for being negative. A review that is inappropriate or against the rules can be reported.
  • We do not buy visibility for you and we do not run advertising. What this covers is your location page, your own site and your reviews.

Questions about visibility

What does adding the booking form require from my website?
That you can add either a small piece of code or just a link to a page. Both are ready in the dashboard. If your site does not allow code of your own, the link still works: it opens the booking on a page of its own.
Can I reply to a review publicly?
Yes. Your reply appears next to the review on your location page, and the reader sees how the matter was handled. Replying is in practice the only answer to a negative review, since it is not removed for its tone.
