How do I add a booking button to my funeral home's Google profile?

A booking button makes it easy for a family who is planning ahead to pick a time without calling during office hours. It should never be the only way in. Make sure your phone number is on your profile and answered.

Not always. Google says some features depend on your business category, and booking options can vary between profiles. If you don't see a Booking option when you edit your profile, it may not be offered for your profile yet. You can still put a clear “Book a consultation” link on your website and list pre-planning in your profile's services.

1. 1.Sign in and go to your Business Profile.
2. 2.On Google Search, select Booking. In Google Maps, select Edit profile, then Booking.
3. 3.Select Add link, or Add another link if you already have one.
4. 4.Enter the web address of your booking page, then Save.

Google allows up to 10 links per type. If you have more than one, set one as your preferred link so it appears first.

Google also works with booking providers, listed through Reserve with Google. Select Bookings, then Get started, and choose your provider. Google says the provider will show on your profile within a week, and that providers may charge you, so check with them first.

Booking links from third parties can sometimes appear on your profile automatically. If one isn't yours or isn't right, you can remove the provider from the Booking section, and Google says providers must process the removal within 5 days.

Only through a provider. Google's Bookings figure in the Performance report counts bookings completed through a booking provider, and Google says performance data isn't available for your own custom links. If you use your own link, track bookings in your own booking system instead.
