Appointments that actually happen
You run on booked time: viewings, consultations, test drives, tables or rentals. Empty slots cost you directly.

The commercial problem
A booking that never shows up costs the same media as one that does. Most campaigns optimise to the booking click, not the attended appointment.
Local intent is high but short-lived; slow landing pages and long forms lose it.
- The common mistake
- Treating booking requests as completed outcomes
- Buyer journey
- Reservation flow, reminders and CRM

How the plan decides
The goal sets the measure, the buyer sets the media, and the budget sets how many channels can be tested properly. Channels that cannot run in your market, need assets you lack or cost more than the budget allows are excluded before scoring, and the plan says why.
Primary candidates
Supporting or test
Candidates from the reference taxonomy. Each is checked for account, market, format and policy eligibility before launch.
Budget logic
Recommended media budget = target completed bookings x estimated cost per qualified booking. Requires historical completion rates or a disclosed test assumption.

What gets built and run
- Measure attended appointments and feed them back where the platform allows.
- Use local search, maps and social with location and time targeting matched to your capacity.
- Shorten the path to booking: direct calendar slots, mobile-first pages, reminders.
- Pace spend to available capacity so you do not buy demand you cannot serve.
What you will need to provide
- Booking system or calendar access
- Capacity by location and day
- Show-up and conversion rates
- Service areas and opening hours

How success is measured
Primary measure: Completed bookings or meetings
- Completed appointments or bookings
- Cost per completed booking
- No-show and cancellation rate
- Direct booking share
Platform-reported conversions are kept apart from outcomes your own systems confirm. Where a result can only be modelled, the report labels it as modelled.

Is this relevant to your business?
Probably, if
- revenue depends on booked appointments or reservations
- you have a booking system or calendar you can connect
- you know your show-up and conversion rates, even roughly
Probably not, if
- bookings happen only by phone and nothing is logged
- you have no capacity to take more appointments
