It’s highly recommended for you to have a Google Business Profile set up and is linked your Google account. If you don’t have a Google Business Profile set up yet, please do so here: https://business.google.com/create.

Once you have this set up, we highly recommend that you:

  • Verify your profile with Google and that you complete all the information and keep it up to date.

  • Add your services and products to it

  • Make posts to it

  • Ensure you respond to any Google reviews

Google uses this information in its searches, so this increases your chances in Google including your website in its search results.

More information can be found in this article SEO Overview.

Once you’ve created this and you’re yet to connect your BookingTimeswebsite to Google,  when you follow the steps in the Connecting to Google article, this profile will then appear for you to connect to.

If you are having trouble Connecting to Google, in addition to checking if your Google Business Profile has enough permissions as per the above section, your Google Business Profile may not be published and hence not publicly visible. They can also happen if you’re in the process of getting your Google Business Profile “verified” with Google.
