The website-to-booking gap
A website should do more than tell customers to call or message
Some small business websites show services but still send customers elsewhere to arrange an appointment. When the website and booking software are managed separately, service information and customer details may also need to be updated or copied in more than one place.
Customers can see the services but cannot choose an available appointment.
The website and booking software need separate updates.
The booking journey sends customers to a separately managed system.
