Google Sites is a convenient website builder that allows you to create professional-looking websites for your business. One feature that is particularly useful for businesses that offer services is the ability to add booking forms directly onto the website. In this tutorial, we will guide you through three simple methods for adding booking forms to your Google Site.
Method 1: Use Google Forms
Google Forms is a free tool that allows you to create custom forms with various question types.

Method 2: Use Calendly
Another way to add a booking form to your Google Site is to use a third-party tool like Calendly. Calendly allows you to create custom booking pages with various scheduling options. Here's how to add a Calendly booking form to your Google Site:
- Copy the Calendly booking form link.
- In your Google Site, add a button using the "Insert" menu.

Now, when a website visitor clicks on the button, they will be automatically redirected to your Calendly booking form.
Method 3: Independent Standalone Booking Form
The third method for adding a booking form to your Google Site is to create an independent standalone booking form that is not linked to Google Forms or Calendly. Here's how to accomplish this:
