Getting New Clients from the Search Directory on massagebook.com

Updated

Part 1: Displaying Your Business Listing in the Search Directory:

Thousands of massage and bodywork businesses across the United States and Canada get found and booked by new clients weekly through our professional search directory.

Your professional business listing on MassageBook helps you get noticed by visitors searching nearby and lets them book and prepay (required) for their first appointment. By default, your Business Listing automatically shows in the MassageBook Search Directory once Setup is complete.

The Business Listing can be toggled off or on at anytime. To do so, navigate to your:

  1. Business Profile. 
  2. Select Business listing in the top right corner. 
  3. Select No to remove it or Yes to add it. 
  4. Select Save to apply your preference.

Part 2: Accepting new client referrals from Search Directory:

As a second step, you can choose to allow NEW clients to directly book with you through your business listing that is now displayed in the Search Directory on massagebook.com.

To start accepting new client bookings through the Search Directory:

  1. Navigate to Settings.
  2. Select Online Booking Rules.
  3. Navigate to New Client Referrals section.
  4. Turn on ""Accept new clients coming directly from MassageBook’s national search directory".

If you turn the toggle on, there will be a 15% New Client Referral Fee taken from the new client's first payment. You can find more information on these fees here: Understanding New Client Marketing Fees.

 

Part 3: How to get new clients from the Search Directory on massagebook.com:

It's important to know that MassageBook.com is not automatically sending clients to participating businesses. It's rather an open platform that you can use to attract clients to your business. Ultimately, it depends on the choice of a potential client (looking at a list of 5-10 businesses in their local area) which provider they are going to book with.
 
Therefore, we recommend following the best practices to get noticed by potential clients:
  • Images: Having high-quality professional images (your practice space, equipment...)
  • Pricing: Ensuring your prices are competitive, compared to other businesses in the area
  • Reviews: Having at least 10+ MassageBook reviews (5 stars preferrable)
  • Promotions: Using promotions, to have a "Deal" banner on your listing
Lastly: feel free to step into "shoes" of a potential client and browse your own local area on massagebook.com, to see some examples of other existing businesses on the platform.
 
Browse the Search Directory: https://www.massagebook.com/

Notes: 

  • Once you've enabled your business listing it may take up to 24hr for it to appear online.
  • Clients who have your MassageBook Business Website Address will still be able to view your page even if your Business Listing is offline.
  • The Business Listing setting will need to be manually enabled for additional businesses/locations added to your account.
  • By default, when clients are browsing the Search Directory, results will show businesses that are: "Available for bookings within the next 48hrs" and "Accept New Clients via the Directory".
