What is the Booking Link?

Updated over a week ago

Many patients prefer to book online—and often outside of business hours. Without an easy way to schedule, practices risk losing patients at the moment they’re ready to book.

Booking Link is a free, shareable link that lets patients schedule appointments directly through your Zocdoc profile — from your website, emails, texts, social media, or anywhere else they find your practice.

No code. No IT support. No new workflow.

Why it matters

Most patients decide to book outside of business hours. If there's no easy way to schedule in the moment, you lose them.

Booking Link captures that demand by meeting patients where they already are — and making it effortless to book the second they're ready.

What you get

More bookings from traffic you already have. Booking Link extends Zocdoc's scheduling experience to your existing channels. You're not buying new traffic — you're converting the demand you're already generating:

  • Capture more patients without changing your workflow. Booking Link extends Zocdoc’s proven booking experience to your existing traffic and patient communications.

  • Set it up in minutes. Anyone on your team can copy and paste the link, no IT support required.

  • Free for your practice. There are no booking fees or hidden costs. You can convert the demand you’re already generating at no additional cost.

  • Use it anywhere. Unlike traditional website widgets, Booking Link can be shared across all your channels, not just your website.

Where to use it

You can place your Booking Link anywhere patients interact with your practice:

  • Website: Add it to your homepage, contact page, or provider bios

  • Email: Include it in appointment reminders, follow-ups, and staff signatures

  • SMS: Send it in text messages to patients, reminders, or outreach campaigns

  • Social media: Drop it in your Instagram bio, Facebook page, or TikTok profile

  • Patient communications: Use it in post-visit follow-ups, recall campaigns, or new patient outreach

How it works

  1. Copy your unique Booking Link from your Zocdoc account

  2. Add it to any channel where patients engage with your practice

  3. Patients click, view your real-time availability, and book instantly

  4. Appointments flow directly into your existing Zocdoc workflow

Nothing changes on the back end. Your team manages appointments exactly as they do today.

Is Booking Link right for your practice?

Booking Link is a strong fit if you want to:

  • Offer online scheduling without a complex integration

  • Reduce inbound call volume

  • Convert more of your existing website or social traffic into booked appointments

  • Get up and running fast, with no technical resources required

Bottom line

Booking Link is the fastest path to online scheduling. Free to use, simple to set up, and built to work wherever your patients are.
