What is a URL address?
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the full address of a page on the internet. It includes the protocol (https://), domain (yourbusiness.com), and path (/book-now). Every page on the web has its own unique URL.
How it works in online booking
You share a direct URL to your booking calendar: yourbusiness.calendesk.com/book. Clients click it and land straight on available time slots. You can even add parameters - ?service=consultation automatically preselects that service, saving the client a step. Here's how to pre-fill your booking form using URL parameters. The booking website builder creates clean, memorable URLs for every page you publish.
Benefits
- Direct links to specific services skip the browsing step entirely
- URL parameters pre-fill forms - fewer clicks, more completed bookings
- Trackable URLs reveal which marketing channels bring the most appointments
Frequently Asked Questions
How do URL parameters pre-fill a booking form?
Add key-value pairs after a question mark: ?service=consultation&employee=anna. The form preselects the service and employee. The client just picks a time. Works in emails, ads, and QR codes.
What makes a good booking page URL?
Short, lowercase, with hyphens. yourbusiness.com/book-appointment beats yourbusiness.com/page?id=34827 every time. Include your business name or service type. Avoid random numbers and special characters. Clean URLs are easier to share and easier to remember.
