In Short
Reserve with Google is a game-changing opportunity for salon professionals. It’s your free way of transforming Google searches into clients with no efforts.
By integrating Goldie with Google’s booking button, your salon services will be easily discoverable and your clients will be able to book directly from one of the most widely used platforms, Google.
Furthermore, this is a significant boost in visibility and accessibility for your business, as potential clients can easily find, learn about, and book appointments with you, whether they do it from Google Search or Google Maps. With millions of people turning to Google every day to find nearby salons or other service providers, having a strong presence in local search results is a must.
In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to set up your Google Business Profile (formerly known as Google My Business) and how to connect Google Reserve with Goldie.
Reserve with Google displays a "Book Online" button directly on your Google Business Profile. When a client clicks it, they are taken to your Goldie booking page, where they can choose a service, pick a time, and confirm their appointment without ever calling you.
Here is what happens behind the scenes:
No double-entry, no manual follow-up, no missed bookings.
A regular booking link remains essential for sharing across Instagram, your website, text messages, and email. Reserve with Google works alongside it by adding a direct booking channel on Google Search and Google Maps, which is often where new clients discover local services for the first time.
Used together, your Goldie booking link and Reserve with Google cover both ends of the client journey: keeping existing clients booking easily, and bringing in new ones who find you on Google.
At the moment, Reserve with Google is available in all countries except: China, Jersey, North Korea, Macao, Guernsey, Maldives, Cyprus, Cambodia, Nambia, Saudi, Fiji, Myanmar, Egypt, Lao, Lebanon, Georgia, Bermuda, Cabo Verde.

Yes. Reserve with Google is free for businesses to use. To activate it through Goldie, you only need an active Google Business Profile and a Goldie account with online booking enabled.
After you activate Reserve with Google in Goldie, it can take up to 72 hours for the Book Online button to appear on your Google Business Profile. If it is still not visible after that time, contact support@heygoldie.com for help.
No, because Goldie shares your real-time availability with Google. Clients can only see and select time slots that are actually open in your calendar. To avoid any issues, make sure your services, working hours, and availability are accurate in Goldie before you activate the integration.
Yes, in many cases you can. If you work from home or offer mobile services, you can set up a Google Business Profile using a service area instead of showing your full street address. Availability depends on your business type, your location, and Google’s eligibility rules.
