How to Let Clients Book Appointments from Your Business Card Using Google Calendar

First impressions matter, especially in client-focused professions. Whether you’re a realtor, consultant, freelancer, or service provider, making it easy for clients to book time with you can set you apart. Instead of juggling emails, a “Schedule a Consultation” button on your digital business card streamlines the process. With Google Calendar’s appointment scheduling tool, you can let prospects book time directly based on your availability—no back-and-forth required.

Here’s how to set it up and connect it to your businesscards.io profile.

Step 1: Create Your Google Calendar Appointment Schedule

1. Open Google Calendar and navigate to the left sidebar.
2. Click on the "Create" button and select "Appointment schedule."
3. Set your available times and customize any additional settings, like appointment duration and buffer times.

Step 2: Customize Your Booking Form

1. In the next appointment schedule setup, add fields for the client's name, email, phone number, and a short message or topic for the meeting. These fields will help you gather all the necessary information to prepare for the call or meeting.
2. Save your appointment schedule, and Google Calendar will generate a booking link.

Step 3: Add the Booking Link to Your Business Card

1. Copy the generated booking link from Google Calendar.
2. Log in to your businesscards.io account and navigate to the section where you can edit your business card.
3. Add a new button or link element, and paste the booking link. Label it something like "Schedule a Consultation" or "Schedule a Tour."

Step 4: Test the Integration

1. Test the new button on your business card to ensure it directs clients to the correct Google Calendar form.
2. Make any necessary adjustments for a smooth user experience.

Setting this up just once can save you hours of email back-and-forth and missed connections. By adding a “Schedule a Consultation” button to your digital business card, you’re giving potential clients a clear, professional next step—right when their interest is fresh. It’s an easy way to streamline communication and increase bookings.
