Turn Your Facebook Page Visitors Into Customers

Did you know that Facebook offers free tools that are specifically geared toward the needs of service professionals? Appointments are easy to use tools that allow businesses to show the services you offer, display your availability, collect and manage requests for appointments, and keep track of your customers to communicate. They also have partnerships and integrations that enable Page admins to manage your calendar with whatever external scheduling service you feel best meets your needs.

 

Benefits of Appointments

  • It's free: All businesses have access to Appointments on Facebook at no charge.
  • Find new customers: Attract new customers with ease and convenience so you don't have to call or text to book. Learn more about how you can grow your audience on Facebook.
  • Save time: Appointments on Facebook makes it easier to manage your business calendar. You can now accept appointments from new and returning customers with less back-and-forth communication. 

Manage appointments from your Page:

If a Page admin chooses to use Facebook's free lightweight tools, you can manage appointments directly from your Facebook Page. Features of appointments on your Page include:

  • Customization: You can create a customized menu of services unique to your business.
  • Availability: Set and publish the times that you are available so customers can book with you at a time that's convenient for them, whether they're Facebook users or not.
  • Calendar: View all appointments in an easy-to-view calendar format.
  • Sync with Google Calendar: Your appointments will be added directly into your Google Calendar so you won't have to add them manually. Your Facebook calendar will also be blocked off where your Google Calendar shows you are busy. This prevents a customer from booking you when you already have an appointment or you have blocked off personal time.
  • Communicate with customers: Send reminders and confirmation messages for upcoming appointments using SMS and Messenger to reduce the number of no-shows and increase return bookings. 

Manage Appointments with a Service:

If a Page admin uses an appointment service other than Facebook, they can either:

  • Integrate that service with the Page directly: Facebook has integrations currently available with popular appointment management tools. 
  • Link out to another website: Page admins can direct customers from their Page to any external website to complete the booking process.
