Searchers in the US can now book appointments with spas and salons directly through Google Search.
This can be done by searching for the name of a salon or spa and clicking the “book” button on the business listing.
Alternatively, users can visit Reserve with Google to browse through various spas and salons available for direct booking through Google.
Google offers this new feature through partnerships with scheduling providers such as Genbook, SalonRunner, Rosy, Yocale, and WellnessLiving.
In the future, Google will also partner with Booksy, Envision, MyTime, Schedulicity, Setmore, Shore, SimpleSpa, SuperSalon, and TimeTrade.
If a spa or salon business can take bookings from those sites, it will also be able to take bookings through Google Search and Maps.
Google plans to add more types of bookable services in the future.
