When someone searches for your restaurant on Google, the difference between a phone number they have to call and a "Reserve a table" button they can tap is often the difference between a booking and a guest who moves on to the next result. Reserve with Google puts that button directly on your Google Business Profile, Search result, and Maps listing. This guide covers what Reserve with Google actually is, what you need before you can turn it on, and how a reservation made through Google ends up on your host stand. ## 1. What Reserve with Google actually is Reserve with Google is a booking button that appears on your Google Business Profile, in relevant Google Search results, and on Google Maps. Instead of sending the guest to your website or asking them to call, it lets them pick a time and confirm a reservation without leaving Google. It is not a separate marketplace you have to build a presence on — it surfaces on the same listing your restaurant already has on Google, provided your reservation system supports the integration. - Shows on Google Search results for your restaurant - Shows on Google Maps listings - Shows on your Google Business Profile - Guest books without leaving Google ## 2. What you need before turning it on Two things need to be true: your restaurant needs a verified, accurate Google Business Profile (correct name, address, hours, category), and your reservation system needs to support the Reserve with Google Booking Server API so availability can sync in both directions. Most independent restaurants get stuck at the second requirement — building or maintaining a direct Booking Server API integration is not something a small operations team typically has the engineering time for. - A claimed and verified Google Business Profile - Accurate hours, location, and restaurant category - A reservation system with Reserve with Google API support - Availability that stays in sync — no double-booking risk ## 3. What the guest actually sees A guest searching your restaurant name, or a category like "Italian restaurant near me," sees a "Reserve a table" button alongside your listing. They pick a party size and time from your real-time availability, confirm, and the reservation appears in your dashboard exactly like one booked from your own site. There is no separate app for the guest to download and no login required — which is precisely why the conversion rate on this button tends to be higher than a listed phone number. ## 4. Turning it on with TablePing TablePing includes Reserve with Google support and Google Business Profile booking URL integration as part of the platform — connect your verified Google Business Profile once, and availability syncs automatically with your TablePing reservation calendar. Google Calendar two-way sync runs alongside it, so a reservation made through Google, your booking page, or WhatsApp all land in the same place with no manual reconciliation. - Reserve with Google Booking Server API support built in - Google Business Profile booking URL - Google Calendar two-way sync - No separate booking calendar to maintain ## Conclusion Reserve with Google turns a Google search into a completed booking without sending the guest anywhere else — but only if your reservation system actually supports the integration. TablePing ships Reserve with Google, Google Business Profile, and Google Calendar sync together, so a Google search becomes a confirmed table with no extra setup on your end. ## Related - [Google Reservations integration](https://tableping.com.tr/en/entegrasyonlar/google-rezervasyon) - [TablePing pricing](https://tableping.com.tr/en/fiyatlandirma)
