Furthermore, a sample shows that 61% of restaurants and 47% of banks do NOT list hours of operation on their Google Business Pages, while 89% of apartment complexes and 77% of hotels do NOT have a primary image.
New, Free Agendize Facebook app makes scheduling easy!
Facebook has now allowed Agendize to provide small, local Businesses an easy way to take appointments through their Facebook Page. After installing the new Agendize Free Online Scheduling app, businesses simply need to input their email and from there, start receiving appointment requests from customers.
When a customer wants to book a business for a service, they’ll be able to send three times and dates that a business can choose from via email. This 24/7 booking availability helps businesses get more appointments, while automated notifications and reminders also reduce no-shows and save time.
From there, businesses can upgrade to full access for only 50$ per month, allowing them to access crucial features like Calendar Synchronization, different booking processes and a central dashboard, which altogether eliminate double-bookings and save as much as 75% of the time previously spent managing appointments.
Full access also gives businesses use of Agendize’s Click-to-Call, Live Chat, Form Builder, Native CRM and more, which enable new engagements on both websites and through Facebook apps while also managing E-mail and SMS marketing. Synchronizations with Salesforce, Mailchimp and more – as well as Zapier integration – mean there’s no limit to what small businesses can accomplish, and it can all start with a little Online Scheduling!
Digital only dominating local more and more
Applications and platforms like this are increasingly critical to small business success, particularly as consumers increasingly search or businesses on Facebook and Google, and will often end up on a business’s Facebook page – even through a Google search.
Fifty-nine percent of consumers use Google every month to find a reputable, local business, and 18% of local searches lead to sales. When compared to only 7% of non-local searches leading to sales, it’s easy to see that Small Businesses need to make a special effort to go digital, as consumers are demanding digital visibility from them most of all. Agendize’s free online scheduling for Facebook is one of the best ways for businesses of any size to not only get more attention online, but also convert more of that traffic into actual sales!
