Google Appointment Redirect: How It Works and Why It Matters
Overview
Google Appointment Redirect makes it easier for your customers to book appointments directly from your Google Business Profile on Search and Maps. When people find your business online, they’ll see a “Book Online” button that takes them straight to your booking page — no extra steps or friction.
1. Why Is This Feature Important?
Many businesses lose potential bookings because customers can’t easily transition from “finding” to “booking.” This feature solves that problem by:
- Boosting visibility: Your Google profile gains a prominent blue “Book Online” button.
- Increasing conversions: Customers go directly to your booking page, resulting in more confirmed appointments.
- Improving ROI: Fewer clicks mean less drop-off and more completed bookings, leading to measurable revenue growth.
By streamlining the booking experience, you capture interest at the exact moment customers are ready to act.
2. What Does It Look Like on Google?
When this feature is active, your profile will display:
A “Book Online” button on your Google Business Profile.
Links that redirect users to your booking page. Service details, such as name, description, price, and duration (via a Services Feed), shown directly on your profile.
These details appear consistently across industries like beauty, auto repair, fitness, and healthcare. The button helps your profile stand out and makes it easier for customers to complete bookings.
3. What Are the Client Requirements?
To participate, Google has a few mandatory requirements:
a) Conversion Tracking (Mandatory)
Google requires tracking to verify when a booking happens on your site.
You must send conversion tracking data to Google (either directly or through Uberall).
This does not include personal information — only a signal that a booking was made.

b) Data for Services
You must provide the following information onto the Uberall platform:
Appointment Link: To be added on your location as an Action Link
Services Feed: Details about the services you offer (name, description, price, duration, booking url).
Uberall will handle the technical setup with you. Once configured, these feeds are automatically sent to Google daily.
4. What Countries Are Supported?
This program is available in countries where Google supports appointment and booking link integrations. These can be found here.
Eligibility also depends on your business category; for example, service-oriented businesses like salons, gyms, or auto repair shops are commonly eligible.
