Listing your business on Google allows your customers to book appointments with you at Google.com and in Google Maps by selecting the Book Online button. If the customer has the Vagaro app, it will automatically go to your booking screen; otherwise, your Vagaro Listing Page will be shown in their web browser. To see how many appointments were scheduled using Google, run the Appointment Source report.
Note
When you first enable scheduling on Google, and every time you update your Vagaro business information, it may take up to a week for search engines to crawl your website and display your updates.
