Why Google bookings are easier to get
Your customer already chose you.
Your customer already chose you.
They just need to tap "Book."
By the time someone sees your "Book Online" button on Google Maps, they've already searched, compared salons, and picked yours. All that's left is picking a time.
They found you on Google
They searched "nail salon near me," saw your reviews, and tapped your listing. They're already interested — you don't need to convince them.
Google's interface feels safe
Customers book inside Google Maps — no clicking to an unknown website. It feels familiar and trustworthy, so they complete the booking instead of backing out.
Done in under 60 seconds
Name and phone are pulled from their Google account. They just pick a service, pick a time, and confirm. Fewer steps = more bookings.

How it works
Bukkii sets it up.
Bukkii sets it up.
You just show up.
The "Book Online" button on Google Maps isn't something you can turn on yourself — Google only allows approved partners to connect it. Bukkii is one of those approved partners.
We handle everything with Google so you don't have to. Once approved, the button appears on your salon's Google listing and new bookings flow straight into your calendar — automatically.
We submit your salon to Google during onboarding — no paperwork from you
Google approves in 1–2 weeks, then your "Book Online" button goes live
You keep 100% of every booking. No cut to Google. No cut to Bukkii.

How Bukkii keeps your calendar in sync
No double-bookings. Ever.
The moment a booking is made — from Google, phone, or text — your calendar updates instantly. No manual entry, no conflicts, no surprises at the front desk.
Updates in under 2 seconds
When a customer books on Google, your schedule updates immediately — before the next person can book the same slot.
Works with Google Calendar
Each staff member connects their Google Calendar. Lunch breaks, days off, and busy blocks automatically hide those slots from customers.
Zero double-bookings, guaranteed
Phone call, Google booking, walk-in — all go through the same system. Two customers can never book the same slot with the same stylist.

Eligibility
Who can get on Reserve with Google?
Google has a few requirements. Most US salons qualify out of the box.
Eligible service category
Beauty & wellness categories are all supported: Nail salon, Hair salon, Beauty salon, Spa, Massage, Eyelash extensions, Barber shop, Waxing salon.
Live in the US
RwG for beauty & wellness is currently US-only. Canada and UK are on Google's 2026 roadmap. Bukkii will roll out automatically when those markets open.
Real-time calendar
Required by Google. Bukkii's two-way Google Calendar sync handles this automatically — included with every plan.
Service menu with prices
Each service in your Bukkii catalog needs a name, duration, and price. Bukkii imports these from your existing booking site or Google during onboarding.
Cancellation policy
Google requires you to display a clear cancellation policy. Bukkii pre-fills a sensible default ("free cancellation up to 24h before") which you can customize.
RwG FAQ
Common questions
Reserve with Google (RwG) is Google's official program that displays a "Book Online" button directly on a business's Google Maps and Google Search listing. Customers can book an appointment in 1-2 taps without ever leaving Google. To enable it, your booking software must be a Google booking partner — Bukkii is certified, so the moment you connect your Google Business Profile, the button appears for you.
Bukkii submits your salon to Reserve with Google during onboarding. Google's review takes 7–14 business days on average (sometimes faster). You'll get an email when the "Book Online" button is live on your Google listing. Until then, customers see a regular "Website" link.
No. Reserve with Google is included free with every Bukkii plan — including the $19/mo Calendar plan. There are no per-booking fees from Google or from us; you keep 100% of the appointment revenue (minus Stripe processing if you take a deposit).
Across 184 Bukkii salons live on RwG in 2025, bookings made via the Google "Book Online" button converted at 51% (booking-page-views to completed-bookings), vs. 17% for the same salons' direct website booking pages. The reason: customers are already in "I want to book" intent when they tap from Google Maps, and the flow is shorter — no domain switch, no page load, no decision fatigue.
When a customer books via Google, Reserve with Google passes us their phone number and name (with their consent — Google asks for it explicitly). We match against your Bukkii CRM. Returning customer? We pull up their history and preferences. New customer? We create a profile. Everything else (calendar, deposits, SMS confirmation) works identically to a direct booking on your Bukkii site.
Yes — RwG is additive, not exclusive. Your direct booking page at your domain or book.bukkii.ai still works. Most Bukkii salons see ~40% of bookings via Google, ~35% via their direct website, ~15% via SMS replies, ~10% via phone calls to AIVA.
Reserve with Google requires a real-time, conflict-free calendar — that's the underlying two-way Google Calendar sync that powers Bukkii. Each staff member connects their own Google Calendar; AIVA reads availability and writes bookings in 1-2 seconds via Google's push API. RwG bookings flow through this same system, so a Google booking and a phone-call booking can never collide.
