When someone fills out a contact form on your website, they're interested. But if you don't speak to them quickly enough, that interest can fade — or worse, they go with a competitor.
A bookings calendar helps solve this problem.
Rather than playing phone tag or wondering when to follow up, you can let the lead tell you exactly when they're available to talk. It takes the guesswork out of follow-ups and puts you in control of your time.
A booking calendar is perfect for:
- Initial pitch or discovery calls
- Quoting or estimating jobs
- Scheduling site visits or walkthroughs
- Follow-up chats after an enquiry
At DotGO, we recommend using Calendly — and we can even set it up for you.
Why We Recommend Calendly
We've tested a lot of scheduling tools — and Calendly stands out. It's simple, professional, and works seamlessly with your calendar (Google, Outlook, iCloud, etc.). You can:
- Block out lunch breaks and holidays
- Set limits for how many calls you'll take per day
- Automatically send confirmation emails and reminders
- Add it straight into your website or lead form
You can control when you're available — whether it's Tuesday mornings for site visits, weekday evenings for pitch calls, or just a 15-minute slot to qualify new enquiries. It's flexible for your leads, and efficient for you.
Here's how it works:
- A lead visits your site or completes a contact form
- They're instantly shown a calendar to pick a time that suits them
- You both receive confirmation and reminders, reducing no-shows
No more “Hi, just chasing up…” emails. No more back-and-forth. Just booked appointments in your diary, automatically.
Whether you're running Google Ads, relying on contact forms, or just tired of missed calls, a bookings calendar transforms your lead management into a professional, automated system.
