Company Book Online Link to Site

[luischavez0104]

Hi, this company has a book online link that is separate from the regular appt link that goes to their site. I thought only third party sites can add these types of links but if you wanted a link to your site it has to be under the appointment link. Does anyone know how this is possible?

@luischavez0104 - Here's a huge leap forward thanks to @timcapper and @krystaltaing.

Google Actions Center offers a collection of integrations which includes restaurant bookings, things to do bookings for tours, etc. See https://developers.google.com/actions-center.

The "Book online" button is part of this collection. It's an appointment integration that Google calls "Appointments Redirect". It's summarized here: https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/appointments/redirect/overview

Hi thank you! I was the one that asked on Darren's Reddit AMA to find this information out.

Stefan, people want to know when and how Google unilaterally chooses to put the book online button specifically when no integration exists with an external service.

Those links are, I'm sorry to say, pretty much literally the opposite of answering that question.

If you look at the utm codes on these book now links there is a rwg token which means that they're using some form of third party integration with reserve with google.
