Get your shop ready for AI bookings: a 5-minute checklist

Getting bookable by AI sounds technical. It is not. If you can keep a calendar up to date, you have already done the hard part. Here is the whole checklist.

1. List your services and prices

An assistant can only book what it can see. Add each service you offer with a clear name, duration, and price. Skip the marketing language. Plain facts work best.

2. Connect your calendar

This is the one that matters most. When your real availability is live, an assistant can offer a genuine slot instead of telling the customer to "call to check". Google Calendar, Square, Fresha, Calendly and most major tools connect in a couple of clicks.

3. Set your opening hours

Including the exceptions: bank holidays, late nights, the day you close early. Assistants take these literally, so accuracy here prevents awkward bookings.

4. Write one honest description

Two sentences on who you are and what makes you good at it. This is the context an assistant uses to decide whether you are the right match for a request.

5. Hit publish

That is it. Once your listing is live, every assistant your customers use can find you, check availability, and book on your behalf, around the clock.

If you can keep a calendar, you can be bookable by AI. There is no step six.
