Adding a Book Now button
For the best client experience across all devices and browsers, you will need to create a Book Now button that directs clients to your unique online booking URL. Most common website builders will have the ability to 'Add a Button'
Follow the support guides from your website builder, or engage your website designer, to set the properties of this button to show the desired text (e.g. Book Now) and set the action to link to your online booking url.
Please note we do not support embedding the URL into your website.
Please contact support@simpleclinic.net if you need this new booking link emailed to you, this is different that the link you received if you signed up prior to 2024.
