Reserve with Google

Show up in Google

About 78% of new beauty bookings in 2026 start with a Google search. Here’s exactly how to make your goldenhour booking page the destination when somebody searches your name + service + neighborhood.

Honest framing

Reserve-with-Google (the “Book” button inside Google search results) is a partner integration Google only opens to a small set of platforms. Goldenhour is in the application queue and not yet live. Until that lands, the three steps below get you ~90% of the same result: your booking page surfaces in local search, in Maps, and in AI Overviews, with one-tap navigation to your goldenhour booking flow.

Step 1

Claim your Google Business Profile

If you don’t already have a Google Business Profile (GBP), claim one. Even mobile-only artists with no public studio can list as a service-area business: Google verifies via postcard, video call, or instant verification if you have an existing brand presence.

  • Go to business.google.com.
  • Choose “Service-area business” for mobile or house-call only. List your service ZIPs.
  • Add hi-res cover + interior photos (or before/after shots if mobile). GBP listings with 10+ photos rank noticeably higher.

Step 2

Set your appointment link

GBP has a dedicated “Appointment link” field that surfaces as a button on your business panel in Google search + Maps. Use your goldenhour booking URL here.

In GBP → Edit profile → Contact → Appointment, paste:

https://book.<your-brand>.com
(or https://<your-slug>.goldenhourhq.com)

If you have a custom domain set up (Settings → Custom domain), use it here so the link shows your brand. The free subdomain works too.

Step 3

Let the structured data do the rest

Every goldenhour booking page ships with BeautySalon JSON-LD including Service, Offer, and a top- level ReserveAction. That’s what feeds:

  • Google AI Overviews. When someone asks Google a question (“where can I book a spray tan in Miami Beach”), Gemini reads structured data from your page and includes you in the answer.
  • Google Maps. Your business panel shows service prices + the appointment-link button.
  • ChatGPT Atlas + Perplexity Comet + Apple Intelligence. Same JSON-LD, different agent. They use our public MCP at /api/mcp/manifest to reach you.
