Online booking that keeps working when the owner steps away.
11 Broadway Barbershop - Levi. Measured result.
0 to 140+ online bookings per month. About 10 minutes of owner setup involvement. A contact list that grew from 0 to 705 within a year.
What was getting in the way.
The shop, near Wall Street in Manhattan, took walk-ins and phone appointments. It didn't offer the online-booking path customers could find at nearby shops.
What I set up.
I connected online booking to the shop's website and Google Maps listing, using its hours, services and barbers. Levi's involvement took about 10 minutes: time to connect the Google Business Profile and see how appointment updates worked.
What changed.
The shop went from no online bookings to more than 140 a month. Within a year, the contact list grew from 0 to 705 names, email addresses and phone numbers. These are booking and contact figures, not revenue or unique-customer totals.
What that made room for.
The booking path can keep working when Levi steps away, including while he is on vacation. I don't turn that into a specific number of family hours saved.
Keep the result in context.
This is one barbershop's experience, not a guarantee for a contractor or every business. Your setup requirements and results may be different.
