What a Booking Page Is, and How to Make One for Free
A booking page is a web page with your open time slots where a customer picks a time and books, and the appointment lands in your calendar. You can make one for free: a personal Google account can create one booking page with Google Calendar appointment schedules, and Calendly's free plan gives you one event type. A booking page is linked from your Google Business Profile, Instagram bio, website or a WhatsApp message.
