If you\u2019re tired of playing phone tag with potential clients, spending your evenings returning calls, or worse \u2014 missing out on bookings because you were elbow-deep in someone\u2019s shower when they called \u2014 you want to read this guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning business owners are constantly juggling actual cleaning work with the admin side of their business. That\u2019s where ZenMaid\u2019s online booking forms can help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this comprehensive guide to setting up ZenMaid\u2019s booking forms, you\u2019ll learn how to build, price, brand, and launch a booking form in 30 minutes or less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Use an Online Booking Form?  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Online booking forms capture leads 24\/7, including during times you\u2019re not directly available. Clients will also appreciate an online experience that is quick and effortless over a phone call they may need to wait for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A properly set up booking form will collect all of the home details you need in the client\u2019s first interaction with you, reducing your back-and-forth with new clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also gain time back in your day with an online booking form because all of your client\u2019s information goes directly to your customer relationship management tool (CRM)<\/a> and scheduling software<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZenMaid users report increases in client bookings after they install booking forms on their websites, sometimes reaching a 20% increase. It helps cleaning businesses look more professional, free up time so business owners can take on more clients, and makes the entire process easier for clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some cleaning business owners worry that automating booking like this means they won\u2019t get to talk to each and every client, but this isn\u2019t true. You craft every email yourself, and the automations are what send them, not you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll still be able to talk to every client, give them an exact quote or estimate based on their particular needs, and share your personality with them throughout the process. The only difference is that you\u2019ll be better able to scale this behavior with automations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What online booking forms don\u2019t do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a small but important difference between online booking forms on the market: they either allow clients to claim appointment slots you set up, or they submit appointment requests that need you to approve them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZenMaid\u2019s booking forms aren\u2019t a live calendar or auto-scheduler where clients claim appointments. Instead, ZenMaid\u2019s booking form takes client inquiries and lets you decide when to schedule them, so you remain in control of your calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Create Your Form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive in and create a booking form! Here is a full video explaining each step in-depth, if you want to see it from start to finish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
