Connecting Acuity Scheduling to Reserve with Google

Squarespace Scheduling is now officially Acuity Scheduling. For help setting up appointments, search “Acuity”, or find related guides under “Acuity Scheduling”. Visit our FAQ to learn more about the rebrand.

Connect Acuity to Reserve with Google so clients can book appointments from Google search results, Google Maps, or Google Assistant.

Before you begin

To connect to Reserve with Google, you need to:

• Have a physical location in the United States.
• Have a Google Business Profile.
• Be in an approved industry, such as beauty or fitness.
• Use a Squarespace account to log into Acuity. It's not possible to connect if you log in with an Acuity account. Which kind of account do I have?
• Have an Acuity account that isn't HIPAA-enabled.

Because Google has to approve your business, the integration won’t be live when you complete setup. Instead, it will go live if Google approves you, which could take days.

You can connect your Acuity subscription to one Google Business Profile. Because each Google Business Profile is tied to one specific address, it's not possible to connect multiple business locations to your Reserve with Google integration.

Make any desired changes to your appointment types before setting up the connection. During setup, Acuity sends Google your appointment types and their descriptions. After the connection is live, Google regularly updates information about your appointment types automatically.
