Only get booked where you actually drive
If your business goes to the client, the booking page has two jobs most scheduling tools never do: keep you inside the area you cover, and tell you where to point the van. Set your ZIP codes, collect the address at booking, and open the whole day in your maps app in one tap.

How a day on the road works
You set the ZIP codes you drive to
Type in the 5-digit ZIP codes you're willing to travel to. Anyone outside them is asked to get in touch rather than being quietly turned away, so you keep the inquiry and lose the wasted trip.
The client gives the address while they book
It's a required part of the booking, not something you chase afterwards. It lands on the job with a tap for directions, so whoever is driving has it before they leave.
The day's stops open in one tap
On your phone, one button opens every stop for that day in Apple Maps or Google Maps, in your order. No copying addresses one at a time at six in the morning.
Or one place everyone comes to
Plenty of mobile businesses also run something at a fixed spot: a group class in a park, a puppy class at a community hall, a workshop at the shop. Give that service its own address and it's used for every booking of it, ahead of anything a client types. Six people are sent to one place instead of six houses.
What it doesn't do
We don't reorder your day or work out the shortest route. Your stops open in the order you booked them, and the gap you want between jobs is one you set. We also don't calculate drive time between bookings or price a job by distance. If someone tells you their software does all that, they're selling a dispatch system, and that's a different product from a booking page.
Being clear about this up front saves you a setup afternoon. If routing is what you need, a booking page won't give it to you. If what you need is clients booking themselves into the area you cover, with the address on the job and the day ready to drive, that's exactly what this does.
A simple way to draw your area
- Start from where you are on a normal morning, not from where you'd drive on a quiet week.
- List the ZIP codes you can reach without losing more than one appointment's worth of time to the road.
- Leave out the ZIP codes you'd only take a job in for a regular client. Those clients can still get in touch and you can book them in yourself.
- Look at the inquiries from outside your area after a month. If several come from one ZIP code, that's a sign to add it.

Frequently asked
Can I stop people outside my area from booking me?
Yes. You list the ZIP codes you'll travel to. A client whose address falls outside them can't complete a booking. Instead they see a short note asking them to get in touch, so the inquiry still reaches you and you decide whether the trip is worth it. A 90-minute drive never appears on your calendar without your say.
Does BookAndGo work out the best order to do my jobs in?
No, and it's worth being clear about that. We open your stops in the order you booked them, in whichever maps app you drive with. We don't re-sequence your day or calculate drive time between jobs. If you want a gap between bookings to allow for travel, you set that gap yourself.
How do I get the client's address?
The booking form asks for it when your business is set to travel to clients. The address is saved on the appointment, so it shows on your phone and your dashboard with a tap for directions, and it appears on the client's tracking page. Nobody has to call you to ask where they're driving.
What if everyone comes to one place instead?
A service can carry its own fixed address: a hall, a park, a studio. That address is used for every booking of that service and takes precedence over anything a client types, so a group session sends six people to one place rather than six houses.
Which plan do I need?
Service areas, the client's address and the day's stops are all on Starter. You only need Professional if two people in your business work at the same time, because that needs a second calendar.
Does the client need an app?
No. They book on a web page with no login and nothing to install. The maps app is on your phone, not theirs.
