Why Reserve with Google?
Google is Australia’s most popular search engine by far and it allows you to reach more customers for your business.
Reach local audiences through Google Maps
If customers are using Google Maps to research the area around you, it’s highly likely they are looking for a business in your local area. Make the most of these high intent leads by having your booking system integrated with Google so they can book an appointment with you straight away.
Reduce the time you spend on administration
Having customers manage their appointments cuts down on the work you need to do. Using Reserve with Google eliminates human errors and miscommuncation.

‘Square has made our lives easier and helped us run our business through three locations. It allows us to concentrate on what we are good at, that’s cutting hair.’

‘It’s so helpful that each employee has a login and can use their own device to access Square Appointments to accept, decline or change appointments with ease, wherever they are.’
Romain Lambert
Founder, Kawada Hair Studio
‘Square seemed like an obvious choice to me. I love the fact that you can opt for an appointments booking system that is connected to a booking site, so it takes all of the reservation admin work out of staff hands, meaning we don’t require a receptionist.’

Owner, Kenneth Geoffrey’s
Barber, Melbourne
‘Square Appointments allows us to have a precise view of all appointment details, collate staff calendars and create/edit appointments as the owner on behalf of the employees. This leaves almost no room for miscommunication.’
