I am look for a scheduling service. Does anyone know of a scheduling service that automatically submits your info to search engines? I had heard that TimeCenter does but I can't confirm it. Also is there aa advaneforum.xxxe in choosing a service where clients can pay on-line (as well as pros and cons for that feature)?

Hi Janyce,

I thought I share my answer here on MassagePlanet too, in case anyone else is wondering.

If you link to your TimeCenter booking page, Google will pick it up very fast (like a week or so). And it will rank high for keywords that are on your booking page, specially the title. This is because Google knows that TimeCenter is a strong website.

We do not currently offer credit card service, but we are looking into future possibilities.

Please shoot us an another email if you have any more questions!

I think most services submit your site to search engines, as do we (OpenCal - http://opencal.com). Like TimeCenter, we also do not currently offer the option to pay online (though our users are free to sign up for paypal and require payment through that online.)

Here are our thoughts on the combination in general. 1) some customers want an appointment without paying at that time. Obviously, you prefer the opposite. However, if a customer might switch providers based on having to pre-pay, you might prefer to take the booking.

2) if the two systems are linked, there is the possibility that prepay will fail and you might lose the booking. This can happen, and the customer is sometimes unaware of the failed booking/payment and then shows up for an appointment that has since been properly booked.

So, anyway, there is an upside and a downside. We may offer payments online in the future but for the moment are happy to leave it up to our clients.

Cheers,

Both are great points and I agree. There are some special cases where prepayment is better, but the ease of use to the client is very important.
