At Barberly, we're dedicated to helping you grow your brand and build stronger client relationships. Our latest feature is a significant leap forward - introducing full Google Maps integration! 🚀
With this powerful new addition, your barbershop will appear at the top of searches like "top rated barber shops near me," making it easier than ever for potential clients to find your business on Google. Here’s how this update works and why it’s a game-changer for your barbershop
1. True Ownership of Your Reputation – No Intermediaries
Unlike aggregator platforms that pretend to be Google by offering their own search and rating systems, Barberly ensures that your reputation remains yours - on the world’s most trusted search engine. Once you integrate with Google Maps, all your ratings, photos, and reviews are automatically synced with your Barberly account. This means your clients' feedback is right where it should be - under your control, not locked in an aggregator’s platform and visible to everyone
2. Clients Search on Google, Not Aggregators
Most people search for "barbershops near me" on Google, not on an aggregator’s platform. By syncing directly with Google Maps, Barberly ensures your business appears where clients are actually searching, giving you a significant advantage
3. Control and Trust
Aggregator platforms can’t match Google’s credibility in search. Their ratings are kept in-house, while Barberly’s integration ensures your ratings are public, transparent, and easily accessible to potential clients
4. Effortless Navigation – One Tap to Your Door
Barberly’s Google Maps integration also enhances the client experience by making it incredibly easy to find and navigate to your shop. With one tap, clients can get directions to your location directly from their mobile app or website, ensuring they reach your door without any hassle
5. Automated Review Requests – Build Trust Automatically
Collecting reviews is vital for maintaining your top-rated status. After each appointment, Barberly’s barber booking app automatically sends a review request to your clients, providing them with a direct link to leave feedback on Google. You can choose whether to automate or manage this process manually. This feature not only simplifies the review process but also ensures that your Google reviews continue to grow, strengthening your online reputation
