On your booking link
What a customer sees when they open your link
The questions come from the question set for your trade. You decide which ones matter for your prices.
- CustomerHi, do you do same-week appointments?
- OperatorYes, there are openings this week. Which service are you after? Tap one below.
- CustomerThe standard one.
- OperatorHere is the price from the business’s own rates and the times open this week. Tap one to hold it.
- CustomerThursday works.
- OperatorThat time is held for you. Confirm your number with the code I just texted, then add your deposit to lock it in.
Built for small businesses
Why a booking link beats a contact form
A contact form collects a name and waits for you. A booking link that talks back gets the customer to a booked time while they are still interested.
Answers questions on the spot
Operator answers what customers ask from what you tell it, day or night, so nobody has to wait for a reply before they book.
Prices from your own rates
Every price on the page is worked out from the rates you set. As a customer answers questions, their price narrows to the job they described.
Only times you really have
Openings come from your hours and your calendar, including events already on it, and a picked time is held so nobody else can take it.
A deposit locks the job
The customer pays a deposit you set, straight to your own Stripe account. Tire-kickers drop off, and a no-show costs them, not you.
On your website too
Add the same booking flow to your own website as a chat button with one snippet. Every booking, from any channel, lands in one inbox.
Why it books more
Where to put your booking link
Your Google Business Profile
Most people who find a local business find it on Google Search or Maps. In your Google Business Profile, choose Edit profile, open Bookings and add your link as the link for booking an appointment. Customers who find you on Google can then see your prices and book without calling. Operator’s settings have the link ready to copy, with a shortcut to your profile.
Your Instagram bio and social profiles
A link in your bio turns “DM for prices” into a booked appointment. Customers tap it, see what you offer and what it costs, and pick a time, while your DMs stay for the conversations that need you. The same link works on Facebook, TikTok and anywhere else you post.
Texts, email signatures and quotes
Send the link when someone asks for your availability, add it to your email signature, or put it on the back of a business card. Whenever a new customer asks how to book, the answer is one short link instead of a back-and-forth about times.
What happens when they book
The customer confirms their phone number with a text code, picks a time and pays the deposit you set, straight to your own Stripe account. The booking lands on your calendar and in your inbox with every answer they gave. They can cancel from the same link, and the deposit goes back only if they cancel at least 24 hours before the appointment.
You pay for what it answers
There is no per-message fee and no booking fee. Each plan includes monthly credits, and a minute of answered call is 25 credits, where one credit is one cent. If the credits ever run out, calls ring your own phone the way they did before. The line never goes dead.

FAQ
Questions from small businesses
What is a booking link?
A booking link is a web address customers open to book with you directly, without calling or messaging first. With Operator it opens your own booking page, where an AI answers their questions, works out a price from your rates, shows your open times and takes the deposit.
How do I add a booking link to Google?
Open your Google Business Profile, choose Edit profile, open Bookings, choose Add link, paste your Operator link and save. Google may take a little while to show it. After that, people who find you on Search and Maps can open your booking page from your listing.
Do customers need an account or an app?
No. Customers book in their browser. They confirm their phone number with a text code, pick a time and pay the deposit, all without creating an account or downloading anything.
Can I take a deposit through the link?
Yes. You set the deposit per service, as a percentage or a flat amount, or none at all. It is paid by card when the customer books and goes straight to your own Stripe account.
Does it answer my phone too?
It can. Operator’s AI receptionist answers the calls you miss, or every call, and texts callers your booking link so they can finish booking on their own time.
Does it work in Canada?
Yes. Operator is a Canadian company and works for small businesses in Canada and the United States, in your own currency.
How much does it cost?
Operator is free for 14 days with no card to start. Plans start at $49 a month on Starter, which covers about 200 answered minutes. There is no booking fee on any plan.
