What is Reserve With Google?
Reserve with Google is a new way to book services in your local area. When a potential new client searches for a service or a business using Google Search, Google Maps, or the Reserve with Google website, they will see the upcoming matched services that you’re offering. This makes the booking experience faster and more efficient.
Reserve with Google is tied to Google My Business. You must have an eligible Google My Business listing in order to activate Reserve with Google. If you need more information on Google My Business, check out this link.
If you wish to apply for Reserve with Google, please review the following criteria:
1) Location name and address
Location name should be the same as registered name in Google
Location should have a valid and complete address registered in Google and matched with name. Suggested format for registering the address in Google:
Country: Use the two-letter country code (like "US").
City/Locality: Write the name of the city (like "Mountain View").
Region/State/Province: Include this if it's commonly part of the address in that country (like "CA").
Postal Code: Include the postal code (like "94043").
Street Address: Write the street address (like "1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy").
If your business has one location, you can register your business in Google and use the registered business name as your location name in the Yocale application.
If your business has more than one location you should do the registration part for each location separately.
2) Service name quality
Service Name: Clearly state the type of service the client is booking.
Do not use all capital letters, emojis, or emoticons.
Do not use vulgar language, promotional content, URLs, email addresses, or phone numbers.
Do not use structured information like cancellation policies or prices
