How to Instantly Convert Your Website Visitors into Clients with a Booking Calendar

The best way to convert website visitors into clients is by replacing your regular contact form with a booking calendar.

Using a regular contact form raises the question in a visitor’s head: “When will someone get back to me? Will someone ever get back to me?”.

When you use a booking calendar, you’re offering your visitors a moment of your time.

This shows your visitors that they’re important to you—and making your visitors feel like you care is the key to converting them into lifelong clients. 

When they fill out your booking form, you’re giving them something that feels tangible: a date, time, and reason for meeting. 

And, if they’re already on your contact page, that means you’re catching them at the peak of their interest for your business!

So, instead of relying on a contact form, add a booking form to show you’re serious about them becoming your clients. 🦊

How to Add a Booking Calendar Directly to Your Contact Page

To instantly add a booking calendar to your WordPress site, first you’ll need to install and activate Simply Schedule Appointments.

After activating, go to Appointments on the sidebar of your WordPress Admin Dashboard.

You’ll be walked through the Setup Wizard, where you’ll get to set:

• When you’re available for meetings
• How and when visitors can schedule a meeting with you
• What you need to know about your future client
• And custom reminders and notifications to make sure the first meeting goes as planned!

Once you’re done, all you’ll have to do is go to your contact page and place the shortcode directly on the page: [ssa _booking].

If you have Divi, Elementor, Beaver Builder, or the WordPress Block Editor its even easier—just use the Schedule an Appointment Block or Widget.
