Google just announced the rollout for “Reserve with Google“, a kind of Google Bookings System integrated right within Google My Business as a way for certain US businesses, including Functional Medicine and Integrative Medicine Practitioners.
Google Bookings – Functional Medicine Practitioners
This is designed for any the business that does online bookings/appointments and reservations, with the ability to integrate with certain booking platforms so searchers can reserve and book directly through Google Maps or Google Search Engine.
If you are using any of the following systems you now integrate these with your Google Business Listing.

- http://supersalon.com

- http://www.salonrunner.com
- https://www.mytime.com
- https://pike13.com
- https://business.yocale.com
- https://www.wellnessliving.com
Obviously, these are not all set up for Functional Medicine Practitioner websites and systems, but many of them will do the job just nicely!
You need to list what features you are looking for and go through each of the websites and find out which ones best suit your needs.
At a minimum, these should;
- Have an Android / iPhone App
- Integrate with your Marketing Platforms (MailChimp, InfisionSoft, Convertkit etc)
- Accept Payments from Trusted Brands (Square, PayPal, Stripe)
- Be reasonably priced at any feature level
So, if you are a Functional Medicine or Integrative Medicine Practitioner then you should make sure they cover most (if not all) of your requirements.
Once you have signed up for any of the systems above, it is time to Integrate it into your Google Small Business Listing. Once the integration process is configured and enabled it takes just a few days to start working in Google Search and Google Maps.
Google Bookings – Users
Your users can select their appointment time, see your pricing and submit their information to reserve a time. For many people with Google Wallet, they can also pay for services. Using the power of Google you can drive more traffic to your business with Reserve with Google!
